C30 wheelbase - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

What wheelbases were available on the 1972 C30's? Going to look at one with about 17,000 miles on it without a bed and was wondering if my long bed from my C10 would fit. Thanks.

Unless 72's are different than '67-'68's, the wheelbase on C-30's is 133" compared to a 127" wheelbase on a C-10 LWB. I am doing the same thing, I am going to 6" out of my frame to put the bed on it. You could put a Longhorn 8 1/2" bed on it.

some 1-tons had 157" wheel bases too.the 133" models measure 60" from the back of the cab to the center of the rear axel.I hope this helps

only came in x-tra long and x-tra, x-tra long. (133,157)

However, if it has a bed, it is a 133 inch wheel base, with either the Longhorn bed....or the rare 9 foot step side bed.

Thanks for the info. It'll be Saturday before I can look at it. Will take a tape with me.

There is a cherry longhorn bed here in the junk yard if your looking for a bed last I heard they shipped large items too. The bed still has the longhorn emblems on it..

On 1tons,I always go by the cab-axle measurement`cause that`s how the bodies are fitted.That would be 60" or 84".A longbed would be 56".

Did any 1969 C30 Motorhomes have a 165" wheelbase?

**68bowtie** · 01-27-2024, 09:40 PM

Not that I have heard of. But anything can be done once it leaves the factory.

What was the wheel base on a 1969 C30 Camper monterey?

**68bowtie** · 01-28-2024, 01:14 AM

Should be either 133” or 157”.

**Dan Castilleja** · 02-04-2024, 05:18 PM

Anyone ever done a chassis swap with a 2000 or newer chassis?
