Re: 65 C60
Cool, looks like a cool project, although ours has a better interior

Re: 65 C60
We also have another one of these, except with a 18 foot bed, with a 327, so does that have a forged crank? It looks identical to the one in the pic.

Re: 65 C60
Generally in a truck application you would end up with a forged crank. The only way I know to tell for sure is to look at the parting line of the crank. If it is forged it will be pretty wide. If it is cast it will be very narrow. You really can't see this with the engine together. Either way it is a great engine. Maybe some one else knows a way to tell with out the engine being apart, however with it being as old as it is, who can guarantee everything is original? The only advantage to a large journal 327 is you can put a 350 crank in it, to make a ...350!

Re: 65 C60
Or you can take a small journal 327 and install a 283 crank and have a 302...

Re: 65 C60
I believe the 327 large journal was built only in 1968, in 1969 the 350 was introduced.

Re: 65 C60
From what I've seen the 350 was introduced in 69 with the 327 available through the end of the 69 model year. This would make the large journal 327 harder to find than the small journal I suppose.

Re: 65 C60
PS this would also cover the fact that as Chevy was ramping up production of the 350 they still had the 327 to offer the buying public. Additionaly you have the folks who won't buy the first year of anything so Chevy offered the overlap of engines for a year.

Re: 65 C60
350 was introduced in 67 for the camaro, and then it spread to the other lines in 68 and 69

Re: 65 C60
Yeah, they are very cool, we have two currently, this one, and one w/ a 327, but the only good things on that one are the motor and the hydraulic ram for the box.

Re: 65 C60
The beast has new shoes! We had to get new wheels since the wheels were split rims and we had to get new front tires. The wheels are 22.5-8.5(i think) steels, and the tires are 22.5-9, basically semi tires. This is on the front, when we get a flat on the rear we have to replace all of those wheels as well, until then we can keep them. Pics to come, really busy today.

Re: 65 C60
Wow Bud, that is one clean old truck. I am especially fond of the old big trucks. Other than the International mirrors, it couldn't get anymore original. It's great to see these old trucks that have been used for their original purpose but still very well cared for. My 65 C80 fire truck only had 13,000 original miles, but it still doesn't look as good as yours. The cab is still very strait and solid, but it has lots of holes drilled in it for all of the fire truck lights and sirens, and the paint is getting very thin. The interior of mine is still nice except for the floor mat, and of course all the holes for the light switches.
The reason they said you would have to change the wheels is because those are the two piece wheels, not to be confused with lock-ring type wheels like mine has, which are still used alot today, and are fairly safe as long as the wheel and locking ring are not badly rusted or bent. The wheels on your truck actually come apart right down the middle of the wheel in two almost equal halves. They are extremely dangerous, even just to air up a low tire so be very careful. These are the wheels that coined the name "killer wheels" or "widow makers". They have injured or killed many people, which is why most states have outlawed them all together. But again, you have a very nice old truck there. Congradulations and best of luck with it. 60-66 Nut

Re: 65 C60
Guys,
I've got a 68 c-50 with split rim "widow makers" on the rear axle. The tires are 8.25 x 20. What rims can I replace these with, nobody here in Utah will touch them. Can I use the existing tires I have with innertube on the new rims? If anyone has done this before please give some input |

Re: 65 C60
I'm not sure you're going to find a 20" wheel for that bolt pattern. We got semi-truck 22.5 steel wheels and Bridgestone V-Steel semi tires. Cost $1k, but we'll never need front tires again.

Re: 65 C60
you could have or can get 22.5 alcoa aluminum simi wheels and have them turned down to 22. then u can get street tires in 22.

Re: 65 C60
That would be even more expensive. Our wheels were $250 apiece as were the tires. I'm sure Alcoa alum's are $500+ apiece. Plus, it's on a C50 anyways, he's going to want the load capacity of the semi tires. It does have the large 5 bolt pattern, correct?

Re: 65 C60
they sell adapters on egay for them to go to 10 or 8. you can call Goodyear of someone like that. they are not that bad at all or the local salvage yard(big truck) they sell them also. When i worked at penske I think I could get them for 150 200 each. I was going to do this for my dad on his 73 one ton. dully
