Re: 1960 1 ton pics
That 1 ton looks pretty nice. Does it have torsion bars up front, like the C10's and 20's, or does it have coil springs?

Re: 1960 1 ton pics
It has tosion bars up front. Its kinda odd im finding. I have come to the conclusion it is some kind of heavy duty 3/4 ton. It says 30 and its rated 10k.
Also, I believe the bolt pattern is 8x6.5? Anyone know for sure?

a 1 ton means it will haul 10,000 lbs, including the weight of the truck, driver and fuel. subtract that weight and one can see how much payload it can haul. about 1 ton. Kieth 1 tons normally had dual wheels and tires, with single rear wheels the truck could be rated from 7500-8500lbs. |

I thought the same thing, the 1 ton designation came from the military and those trucks were a lot heavier that this chevy........our old trucks are lighter than even the stuff they build today, maybe thats why our grandfathers got away with loading them so heavy. |

Re: 1960 1 ton pics
It's not a HD 3/4 ton, it's a normal 1 ton with single wheels. I have a '63 C-30 dually flatbed and my DD is a '65 C-30 single wheel with a 9' stepside bed. All the C-30's had 10,000GVW stamped in the plate. Your truck was probably also originally a 9' stepside truck that someone stuck a flatbed on for more utility. (The fact your truck has a trailer brake controller also agrees with the theory it was a working truck.)
Btw, nice truck! I'm a big fan of the 3/4's and 1 tons; always nice to see more getting saved. |

Re: 1960 1 ton pics
And yes, the bolt pattern is 8x6.5". I have 80's 3/4 ton wheels on mine; here's a picture FWIW. 235/85r16 mud tires on the back and 245/75r16's on the front.

Re: 1960 1 ton pics
Thats awesome 66 submarine. Good info for sure. Yea I was looking at aftermarket wheels. I find it odd It was a 1 ton stepside. I guess I just assumed that stepsides were mainly lighter trucks. Nice looking truck you got to. I am still not seeing a whole lot of them.

Re: 1960 1 ton pics
Oh, and the flatbed is off of a ford I have no clue what year.

Re: 1960 1 ton pics
Glad I could help clarify. If you have any other questions, just shoot me a PM.
Yeah, they didn't make many of the big stepsides, and there aren't many left today. They were more common in the 47-55 era from what I've seen. (they also made them in the 67-72 era, along with the 8.5' "longhorn" fleetsides that started in '68) My truck was purchased new by the Coca-Cola plant FWIW. Btw, what's your plan for your truck? |

Re: 1960 1 ton pics
Well First I have to rewire the fuse block....and from the fuse block to the dash. Im pretty sure thats why it wont turn over. " Some wires are burnt" It either needs a clutch...or clutch cable. Havnt got that far. Short term get the sucker mobil....running. Some TLC some elbow grease. Wheels, tires... bleed brakes all that kinda stuff.

Re: 1960 1 ton pics
My understanding was the whole 1 ton, 2 ton, 1/2 ton, etc thing is from way back when. (Like the 20's-30's)
FWIW, mine with all it's extra crap (a good several hundred pounds worth) added rolled over the scales with me in it @ 4,950lbs. Back to the thread; cool to hear you are keeping it a real 1 ton, I think you'll like it. (I really love mine.) BTW, I'm not sure, but I think being a '60 yours will have a hydraulic clutch. |

Re: 1960 1 ton pics
Always good to see another C30. That picture of your stepside is awesome.
Oh and I plan on dressing up the inline. Figure it will suit me fine. look good with a split header and a triple deuce...and upgraded electronics. Now i just have to pick some wheels..

Re: 1960 1 ton pics
Thanks for the compliment. (Btw, I've got more pictures and ramblings on my website and photobucket if you want to see more.)
I like the inline sixes too; my '63 flatbed has a 292, and I have another one I'm rebuilding to go in my '65. |

Re: 1960 1 ton pics

Re: 1960 1 ton pics
Thanks. Lol, I just realized that myself. FWIW, I really love the big west coast mirrors with the 5" spot mirrors mounted below them; especially handy for towing. Never did get why people take the side mirrors off a truck to begin with...

Re: 1960 1 ton pics
I actually like those big square mirrors. Im pretty sure mine got jacked for another truck or broke off.

Re: 1960 1 ton pics
Yeah, I like the look of them, too. And functionally I really like them; with the spot mirrors I can see several lanes of traffic and watch my rear tires at the same time.

Re: 1960 1 ton pics
You can get new ones, I got those used from a member here. (The spot mirrors I got new off ebay) BTW, the smaller ones like mine are called Junior West Coast mirrors; they are about 5"x10" instead of 7"x16" like the full sized ones.
