Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
I thought you could use the LMC/Goodmark 1/2 ton mounts? There is a write up around here somewhere...

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
Here's my C-20!
It may be being changed to a six-lug setup, but it's still a 3/4 ton at heart. |

You can have your cab mounts redone by STEEL RUBBER PRODUCTS if you want to stay stock.

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
I bought one for parts a few months ago, it had a detroit no-spin rear diff in it. I passed it on. There is that brokeback look too.

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
Here's what mine looks like now that I really started working on it. Just finished rebuilding the Hydra-matic trans and got it back in on Friday.

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
![]() My 66- finally running again- 1 coil cut in front, removed all but the longest 5 leaves in the rear. 250, Rochester b carb, sm425, Flowtech headers, 2ft cherry bombs. Sounds great, handles great- going to look at a Holmes wrecker bed tomorrow, so I may be restoring the rear suspension(including the 1 ton helper coils) and picking up dual wheels for the rear. Looking to do a "Rat Wrecker", a bit like the one seen in pics on the site a while ago. Plus, I'll have a way to move all of my other trucks around.

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
I agree, it has that no nonsense look. Modern vehicles just don't have this look. Speaking of wheels, you must have originals because modern 8 lug wheels ( 1969 and newer ) don't accept period 3/4 ton hubcaps. They appear to be the 1 piece solid 17.5" (clip type) wheels that use tubleless tires.
