Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
Looks like a '68 or '69.
Is it a 5500 or a 6500? Tell us more about what Engine and Trans you have in there now.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
You're right on the money... 1969 C5500 cable/wire truck. The truck has 292 Chevy with 60K miles on it and 4 speed trans. Not sure which transmission it is yet... maybe a New Process. It also has a PTO driven winch (15K lb.) behind the cab and headache cage with an open PTO driveshaft and the very end of the truck to drive something? Maybe a margarita mixer? .
It's tough finding much info and parts on this truck but I knew that before I bought it. I am gluten for punishment and a challenge and I really like these old trucks Thanks for asking. Last edited by overhaulin; 12-10-2016 at 08:19 AM. |

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
I like it too! I have no idea what engine, but with no big block hood vents I'm going to guess Toroflow?

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
Sweet!! I almost bought one this past Fall out of an estate sale. It was a 9500 with a 6-71 and I think the GVW was like 33K. I really liked it except for those scary two piece wheels.

Nice looking truck.
Nothing wrong with Spoke Wheels. We just had a conversation about them recently, lol.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
I like the spoke but I've always heard their a little scary to change.
I found a pic of the DT I mentioned earlier. I wish I would have bought it... oh well. I am not sure who, but it looks like someone bedazzled the frontend... it made us laugh either way. |

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
That's a nice one, too. Don't laugh! Reflectors are a vital part of safe night operation of motor vehicles and should be taken very seriously

I let the owner know I was on my way out to buy it and that's when he let me know he just sold it to a guy $1200.00.

Yea it was purchased at an estate auction and the buyer had to move it off the property within 30 days. I was just a too late.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
Sounds like a good day. This thread is hard to add to. A local dairy that started up 10 or so years ago that delivers or you buy from the store at the dairy... just like the old days. I think I remember they used this at first. They have it sitting out by the road now as a sign

No, most likely Pontiac. Janesville didn't get a medium duty line until late '89 and those big H/J series trucks were all built at Pontiac Truck & Coach.

Cool picture.
Wouldn't have minded a job like that at all.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
That's a very cool picture. Shows a nice variety, both brands, medium & heavy, and even a cowl & chassis (likely a bus)
Bob, have I ever told you how much I appreciate your wealth of GMC knowledge? I think you are one of the most unsung contributors to the site for GMC knowledge.I learn a lot from you. Thanks!
