Hi, Just restoring this C30. I live in the UK. It is nearly finished, just need some wiring and interior trim, the rear end now has alluminum chequer plate instead of the bumper. It is ex-military - made from a few different trucks I think. Straight 6 with a 350 box.
These are the before and after pics.
8 lug wheels and other parts are hard to find over here.
Hope you guys like what we get up to over here in Blighty!!

chevyguy19118 · 12-19-2011, 05:29 PM

hello, im new to this.. This is my 85 scottsdale i got it for 400$ with a blown 305. the guy that had it was tired of spending money on it. After he got the paint job and interior re-done. I bought a used 350 and some lowering spindles and hangers, shakles 3/4 drop. Much of the work was DIY and I still got plenty to go

it certainly has a nice rake and mine would look good with the same combo.
