Re: The Ulitmate Craigslist find thread
Interesting truck, but strange it only has a 4-Speed Trans. Between that and the Lighter Front Axle, I would say that it probably was originally a Single Axle, but still a cool truck in nice condition to boot.

Bill (anyone), is it me or is that second axle a tag axle? Are you identifying the front axle capacity by the Dayton wheel as opposed to the 10-lug budd I've seen from time to time?

Re: The Ulitmate Craigslist find thread
One thing I just noticed is it only has one vent on the hood, when did they go dual vent?

Re: The Ulitmate Craigslist find thread
I'm sure it is a tag axle , I think hyd. brakes ,but not sure. I would also say it has a 366 with only one air vent, 427 had two, plus emblems that said 427

On the Front Axle, no not a Dayton to a 10-Lug Budd, but in this case, I'm going by the Narrow Fenders. The 4-Speed Trans, along with the Fenders and the possible Tag is what is making me question how it was originally. ...Just shootin the breeze here, lol.

Re: The Ulitmate Craigslist find thread
Ok so L6 and Small blocks got no vents, 366 got one and 427 have two?
I know where a single axle 427 tractor is. I might have have to snag the truck and use some its parts |

Re: The Ulitmate Craigslist find thread
The inside pic shows a 2 speed spliter. That would make it a single axle truck w/a tag and in this case the rear is the tag axle. M&S tires on the front axle and steers tires on the rear axle would backup this theory.
A 427 truck will have 2 vents w/a 427 emblem towards the front of the vents. The passenger side vent was functional with the air cleaner getting air there. The pictures are of a 71 Custom C/60, 427, 5+4, twin screw truck w/air brakes. Other than a repaint and aux holes in the bumper for steps, this was a completely stock truck including the wheelbase. Note the aux driverside fuel tank. With both tanks, you could actually use the truck 8-9 hrs and not stop for fuel. Sorry for the crappy pictures, but these are scans of Polaroids take in 1985-6 time frame. It was still working daily at that time. Last edited by esbstuff; 08-30-2016 at 09:28 AM. |

Re: The Ulitmate Craigslist find thread
Good example of a heavy lighter duty truck, although I would like to know what the GVW actually is.
If the Directional Lights are original, the truck is probably a '70.

Re: The Ulitmate Craigslist find thread
Neat trucks! If the dust cap on the front hubs is flat, the axle is either a 5,000 or 7,000lb. If the cap sticks out to clear the larger spindle, the axle is a 9,000lb. or greater. The '69 GMC manual I have shows several different ones, up to 16,000lb. capacity. I'll bet that blue truck had the rear axle added later on. There were two 1971 C60's at the junkyard a few years ago that had tag axles and springs added to them. I remember the glovebox door on one still had the sticker and it had a 7,000lb front axle, both had Budd wheels though.

Re: The Ulitmate Craigslist find thread
Interesting truck.
They are calling it a "10-Speed", and technically it is, but it looks like a 5-Speed with an Electric 2-Speed Rear.

Re: The Ulitmate Craigslist find thread
Dunno, still learning the med and heavy duty lingo. All i know is I want to build a 4-53/71T or 6v53T powered retro rig to pull a 25ish foot goose neck to haul cars. Have loved the 2 stroke detroits since i started operating them in the military

Re: The Ulitmate Craigslist find thread
Strange that it has 6-Lugs front and rear.
It's usually 5-10 or 10.
