With options like camper wiring, tach, and manual throttle I'm thinking it was special ordered for a customer. I did that back in the day when ordering a 70 Nova. Wish I still had that window sticker, not to mention the car!

**dagnabbitt** · 08-24-2025, 12:06 PM

6 cylinder tach and a 292 with power steering, pretty cool and rare. Totally worth what they are asking, someone should go get it.

**Steeveedee** · 08-24-2025, 01:42 PM

That's way cool!

**dagnabbitt** · 08-24-2025, 01:50 PM

The L56 RPO is an option that preps the engine for propane conversion, I had never heard of it until I did a search on this forum. Crazy combination of rare and odd options, it has to be a "one of one" model.

So you know that 292 is clean as a whistle on the inside. Why does this have to be exactly 1,967 miles from my driveway?!

.

Ya think it had propane tanks or maybe tool boxes where the steps used to be?

Cool truck.

That one is pretty bad ass. A super with the 9’ step side bed. Can’t be many of those made. Interesting that it has all those options but no AC. I see it was originally sold to a farm I guess that’s probably why. This truck screams Chevyland to me…

It’s a rare bird. I’m in talks with the owner. The only kink in the chain is distance.

**Mike80D** · 08-24-2025, 06:53 PM

Does anyone know the standard rear end ratio of a 72 C30? I'm guessing 4.56, with 4.10 being an option. Nothing is listed on the SPID. This would be an epic Vice Grip style fly & drive, but shew it's a long way home.

Total beat run
If it were a Chevy I'd be all over it
Mike, just buy it and ship it
For under 5k all in
It can be in your driveway next week

I had a similar one several years ago

400 engine? Rock and roll! Bet it had a 3.56 in it?

**'68OrangeSunshine** · 08-24-2025, 08:04 PM

I have been thinking of a propane conversion to a 292 for years. This one had it from the Factory. I guess with a rig that long, you'd need P/S.
Glare obscures the VIN where the Plant is listed. Looks like J. Janesville's a long way from Montana. Most Western rigs are out of Fremont [Z].
I had a good roadtrip fantasy for a few minutes. I could almost afford it.
Could I get away?
Too bad there's no I-11 from Vegas to PHX yet...

**Chevyland** · 08-24-2025, 08:11 PM

Aww c'mon
2 guys that are almost going to buy it

There is a reason hot shot trailers are all over the roadways
Someone, git-r-dun

Yep that is the truth! That’s a hell of price for a hell of a truck.

That is super cool!

old51sedan · 08-26-2025, 08:04 AM

That truck has got to be rare, you wonder how people sit down and think about options when ordering a vehicle. The PS I can see, but the tach, and I see it has Power Brakes also even thought there not listed on the sticker. I think that's a buy, just load her up and get it done. When I shipped my truck from CA to MI it was just under a grand 9 years ago, I'm sure prices have gone up a little since then.

He needed something that would get into a specific spot to retrieve a certain treasure....
Would the tach be for correct PTO speed using the dump bed?

Nice find for sure!! Hope you get it Mike80D.

Mike if you are able to seal the deal on that truck, It would be a Big Hit at SETN or any truck show .
