I thought you could use the LMC/Goodmark 1/2 ton mounts? There is a write up around here somewhere...

thought I would add my 3/4 4WD to the list...

SFTorange · 02-17-2011, 02:23 PM

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.

mikie 1954 · 02-17-2011, 02:23 PM

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

Surfdaddy · 02-17-2011, 06:07 PM

Mine is a mess right now but should be on the road very soon. Starting from the wheels up.

68lngbed350 · 04-16-2011, 12:59 AM

my 68 3/4 ton, not a 60-66 but I love my 3/4 ton

**joedoh** · 04-17-2011, 12:28 AM

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.

68lngbed350 · 05-25-2011, 02:42 AM

I know theres more 3/4 tons out there!!!

66-PMD-GMC · 05-25-2011, 09:49 AM

I need to find myself a few more 3/4 ton 63-66 rigs. There is still room on my driveway afterall...

Surfdaddy · 05-25-2011, 10:21 AM

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.

CdM · 05-25-2011, 03:39 PM

66 3/4 before i found this website

monolith · 05-26-2011, 08:11 PM

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.

TFANTIN · 05-30-2011, 03:10 AM

Whats not to love on an original 3/4 ton from the 60's!

factorystock · 05-30-2011, 10:44 PM

Thanks for posting TFANTIN, here is another 3/4 ton GMC survivor ( a '62 ) with original paint and wheels.

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.
