Did C30's come out with automatics? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am thinking about going to look at a 72 C30 dually. The ad is listed as it having an automatic trans. I thought that they only came out with stick shift trans in the one tons.

Could have a manual or an auto.

Okay. I had just never seen an automatic in a one ton before. My grandpa has had a slew of these C30's and they all had four speeds in them. I guess I learned something new today.

Most of the motorhome C30 chassis and about 50% of the C30 Longhorns I have found are automatics.
