Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
Thanks guys,
I going to continue to practice. It has the working 5 speed so I'm also having to re-train my brain for 4L-5L-4H-5H shift as well. I think I like the old RoadRanger 10 speeds better.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
I agree, I like a Road Ranger a whole lot more, but a 2-Speed Rear is better than no 2-Speed.
Having that type of 5-Speed is really nice as you can go through 9-Speeds and only having to deal with engaging Low with the button down twice (skipping 1-H if you have a granny gear first). Bill

Thanks, I haven't put pencil and paper to it yet but I could live with 6-7 mpg.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
I regret not having a picture but I worked in a quarry in NH years ago. We had an '82 C-60 six-wheeler we used to call Stub. We all drove old Macks with Mack-10s or 8spLLs or mine with the 6sp you could eat a sandwich between gears but this little truck would kick all of our a**es. It had a little kitty with a 5sp and 2sp rear that shifted when it wanted to and made sure to let you know it was mad about it. Funny thing that after all the abuse we put old Stub through, it did not break, ever. We broke, it didn't.

E80 Dump, (yes they were E80s not C80s) 1965? GMC version was a B series. Auction ad had it listed as a 1970 though. Someone got a nice truck for $1400.00

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
Well, I have to admit, I never knew Chevy made one. Everyone I have ever seen was a GMC. I'm sure they are listed in my Chevy Manuals, but without any pictures, I just never noticed.
Nice truck. Air Brakes and a Factory Tach to boot. Someone got a great deal for $1400. I would had paid cash on the spot for that one. A '64 to '66 for sure and probably a '65 as mentioned, but I would sure love to see a close-up of that Side Emblem. Any idea on what was under the Hood? Bill

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
Auction did not list anything other than 5+2 transmission. Truck was from Colorado Springs and auction was last summer in Henderson Colorado. First Chevy I've ever seen of that style other than the dealer photos.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
I don't see any signs of it being a Diesel. If it is a '65 for sure and a Gas Engine, it could very well be a 409.
Bill

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
Yeah,I wondered if it's a gasser what motor it had. Was wondering being a Chevy if it had the 409

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
Looks like the LCF E and W series 80 models were only diesel powered. Produced 62-65? The GMC B series were identical and more popular. The Model E80 had a diesel engine GM 6V-53 , W80s a 6V-53N. Doesn't look like they came with gas engines.
They were replaced by the H series in '66, correct me if I'm wrong.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
I know the GMCs came with V12 or V6. I don't know about Chevys. Nice ad pictures!

I'd like to see one of those someday. The engine stand pics are probably as close as I'll get.

Don't feel bad, I've never seen one either, there wasn't even one at the Brooks Oregon ATHS show last year.

Great pictures of some Chevys. It looks like they do share the same type of Side Emblems as the other models do.
