That is a nice truck.

Like the 4-Speed part.

Thanks for posting it.

I'd probably have jumped on it if I was closer.

That is cool, would make a hell of a food truck. Lend me a dollar and pick it up for me?

The Cortez was produced by Clark forklift company. All the early ones came with a slant 6 and a manual trans. They had torsion bar suspension and drove very nice.

just found out searching it that in 71 they went with a old toranado 455/3 speed auto driveline for the new system .

Definitely something that should be saved. Someone with more money than sense must have let it sit like that. These were premium camper machines and surely would be a big hit with vintage camper collectors. I wish I could jump on it, but couldn't stick it inside or come close to starting work on it any time soon.

This is a 1974 gmc big narly dump truck...



Whenever I see those big old COEs, I wonder what it would be like to shorten it up and build it like the old Jeep FC pickups. Maybe even a 4x4 conversion with 2.5 ton military running gear...

No picture? Is this the tilt cab like the white one above?

Sure can't see much in that ad. Real enthusiastic about selling, ey? It does appear to be decent and it would be perfect for me. Nice beefy little dumper a skid loader could load easily.

I'm not usually one for budd wheels but I like that! Would be a cool rig to go through mechanically and leave it just as is...

Do those bolt patterns allow for easy switching to normal tubeless rims? Or is it some weirdo never used bolt pattern?

[C10 - C90 Bill]

The 292-6 was still somewhat used back then.

They are really good engines.

Especially with some gearing. Looks like that truck is a 4 & 2.

oh i know . my dad had a old pepsi delivery c-60 truck he cut down to make a home made wrecker with and that straight 6 1-barrel would pull like a freight train . i remember as a kid pulling 2-3ft dia locus tree stumps out on high idle and she just would not chug down . . . pull and pull .

[Dannny B]

The 292 gets it's torque about 1,000 rpm lower than the 283. This is all due to cylinder charging. The little monojet 1 barrell has a very high intake velocity at low rpm. Low rpm cylinder charging is what makes it torqey. The same is true for the GMC V-6. Tiny little carb on a 305--351---401--478
The Quadrajet is an attempt to get the torque with small primaries and still have lots of high rpm with the huge secondaries. Same idea for the Thermoquad. They also made V-8 manifolds with individual runners for the primaries seperate from the secondary runner.
It is all about intake port velocity.
I have a 317 lincoln engine that came stock in a F-900 Marmon Herrington. I found a super deal on a 4 bbl manifold but, I think that it would kill the low-end torque.
It's a trade-off between low-end and high-end torque.

[C10 - C90 Bill]

My 292 was impressive in my '64-30, but one day I was along side a newer 1-Ton with a 350 in it and I passed him. It was up a steep hill and I was carrying a full cord of firewood. He was empty.
