Re: 67 C-30 Dually pickup build.
Looking Good, You Still plan on going with a Smaller Running light in the Fenders ? At one time you were thinking of going that Route??
Thanks, Rick

Re: 67 C-30 Dually pickup build.
Yes, I'm going to have to fill the side marker light in the fender if I use the ones on it. I recently acquired a set of '67 stepside fenders, but I'm not sure I want to cut them up. As you know you have to cut out bigger section of the '68 - '72 stepside fenders to fill since they are raised aoround the marker light holes. I'm going to try to fill these, but if I warp them up too bad, the '67fenders may be have to be sacrificed!!

Re: 67 C-30 Dually pickup build.
The truck is looking good. It finally warmed up enough today that I went out to the garage and started mine. I still can't get her out of the garage for the snow bank in front of the door but it was nice to her her idle again.

I think I'm gonna leave all the frame to ya'll Travis. Some of the places I take my trucks for parts runs would equal lots of getting high centered and bottoming out. My brother keeps saying the same though. He also wants to put it in the weeds!

Re: 67 C-30 Dually pickup build.
Raising the front gives it a good stance. Even though I drive a frame-scraper, something about a down-to-business dually looks great and the stance you got with your jack is good to go.

Re: 67 C-30 Dually pickup build.
Glad to see it's getting some progress made on it man!
And it looks like you know what you're doing with that mud and sander - those shaved markers came out beautifully. Keep at it, I wanna see this oil burner in one color and doin' business man! -Sam.

Re: 67 C-30 Dually pickup build.
I was just wondering, when you shortened your frame, did you chop and reweld it, or did you move and redrill your suspension mounts?"

Re: 67 C-30 Dually pickup build.
We cut 6" out behind the cab and rewelded it with a diamond shaped plate for reinforcement and cut about 8 more inches off the the end of the frame to mount the 8' box.

Re: 67 C-30 Dually pickup build.
I am thinking about building a whole new back frame out of 3/16" wall box tube. but if I go for that, the question is, why not build the whole frame and have something that is extremely solid and capable of doing damn near anything...?

I'm sure you could do that being a welder, but I'd think it would be major overkill. My '69 C-30 car hauler frame has been lengthened from the factory 133" WB to 163" with a frame section out of another truck and has been reinforced and boxed on the inside from the back of the to spring perches and I have hauled some major weight over the years with no problems. I have hauled everything from small buses, forklifts, tractors, and often I have hauled with one car or truck on the back and another on my 16ft car trailer. I hauled in a 8000# '69 GMC with the big 351 V6 and heavy dump body a few months ago and she never grunted.

The reason I am thinking box frame is I want to put a Cummins 12 valve in mine, so it is going to have to absorb a lot of torque on a regular basis. Especially when I build the new engine up with twin turbos, I am just afraid of damaging the frame.

Re: 67 C-30 Dually pickup build.
I raised the front of mine with some 3" lift springs, and I am running some taller tires on the front. I went from a 9" "red neck" rake to about 4" of rake rear to front. If I keep it she will get a 4TB.

Re: 67 C-30 Dually pickup build.
The textured part is getting an insert of some sort. I'm thinking of trying to paint some of the woodgrain inserts with some textured paint and make the cluster and glove box door match.

Re: 67 C-30 Dually pickup build.
Nice to see you working on it again, I haven't really been working on mine, but been working with it since I got the welder mounted.
I built a 3d star with it today. That was wayyyy cool. I think your dash is going to be very trick, I am anxious to see it done.

Re: 67 C-30 Dually pickup build.
I'm thinking its going to be something a little different and pretty cool. I am even toying around with trying to have some small vinyl letters made up in reverse and putting them on the backside of one of the non functional red warning lights in the fuel gauge that reads "glow plugs". If I do, I'll wire it bulb behind it to the manual glowplug switch and it will light up GLOW PLUGS when I holding the button, kinda like the factory diesel trucks do when they are cycling.

Re: 67 C-30 Dually pickup build.
Heres another kinda cool idea. Back about 20 years ago there was a International Semi truck we were stripping out. I took the vacuum gauge and the light out of it. The gauge had a sensor on the back of it....when the vacuum drop below a certain point the red light came on. I have no idea where you could get it...but it would be a cool idea...and functional if you could find one. Since the vacuum gauge is mounted so low...the light sure would get you attention.
