Is it rare????? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

NORMSCOLORADO · 07-09-2009, 11:16 PM

alright im in the midst of buying a 1967 chevy C-30 pickup... i dont have any pictures yet but i have looked on line and found no other pictures of the truck... its a regular cab 2 wd 8' stepside box with spare tire.... powered by a 327 with a 4 speed with i believe a factory mounted snowplow..... and knowing its a 1 ton truck i have never see one like it??? just curious any one know???

thanks

norm

Longhorn Man · 07-10-2009, 05:27 AM

if its a one ton, then it is a 9 foot stepside (the VIN should read CE347xxxxxxx to be a one ton with a factory installed step or fleet bed)
They made 4026 9 ft stepsides in 67... the 327 would be the rare part, but no way to confirm it's rarity by options though.

Blazer1970 · 07-10-2009, 05:36 AM

I am pretty sure there is no such thing as a factory mounted snow plow, especially on a 2WD truck.

**special-K** · 07-10-2009, 06:21 AM

Those C/30 pickups are pretty rare.Definately one of the lower number trucks of bunch.Options can narrow that to even more rare.Especially comfort and convenience items on such a truck.
At the dealerships a truck could be outfitted with any number of specialized features and apparatus through a book of vendors known as the Silver Book.Anything from campers to snow plows,to tow rigs,to extended cabs,and various work bodies.These items would be on the original order,but not done until after the truck was completed at the factory.
It sounds like a neat truck.Can`t wait to see it.

NORMSCOLORADO · 07-10-2009, 04:13 PM

Options
6 Cylinder Engine -10% -10% -10%

Boo nada, losing 10% value for having the superior engine?

Also I think the chances of selling a car for nada value is nada.

Could not agree more!!!!!

Also consider that RARE does not always equal DESIREABLE! Most guys want a short fleetside not a long stepside.

Longhorn Man · 07-11-2009, 05:41 AM

NADA is worthless in the classics.

These lower production trucks were designed to be workhorses and definately standout in a crowd. Purchasing depends on what you plan to do with it. Remember, 67 1 tons are geared low. If condition and options are important, try to find one that was used as a recreation vehicle.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 07-11-2009, 04:39 PM

Here is one of the nicer ones that I have seen in front of my shop. WES

*b-rad* · 07-11-2009, 08:24 PM

before any one says any thing to me this is just my opinion. they just don't look right there not vary proportionate

ehh its all in what you like!

and she is a factory 327!

factorystock · 07-12-2009, 12:11 AM

Thanks for posting the red 67 ClassicHeartbeat. Looks super clean and heavy duty. Period wheels and caps give it the "right look".

**special-K** · 07-12-2009, 08:15 AM

Just because something doesn`t appeal to the mass mentality doesn`t mean it has no value,either.A rare,yet not what the mass desires can still become more valuable than what is more commonly sought after.
I like them all.I`m a truck lover,not a car convert.It`s funny,most real truck guys say the shortbeds are disproportionate.They are too short to haul alot of things.I guess it`s all what you`re used to looking at.I look at a pickup as an empty canvas.A truck waiting to be outfitted for a purpose other than tossing things into a bed.A bare pickup is a beautiful exception to what a truck is to me(which is what they were conceived for...work).That`s mostly how we see 67-72s these days.Trucks are a tradition going back to horse drawn wagons and that`s how I see them.there`s nothing that says "Proud Truck" like a fine example of a C/30 Stepside.I`m a contractor and make a living out of trucks.I can`t be without a longbed.A shortbed is just a handy little toy for me.I chuckle when I see these guys trying to operate out of shortbed extended cabs,now that those became more common on dealer`s lots.They go down the road with a load teetering on the tailgate and if they have ladder racks they are no longer than a longbed with the tailgate down.Most end up hauling trailers.Heck,a Suburban makes a better work truck than a shortbed extended cab.
Did I mention I think C/30 9' Stepsides are cool?

68,69 K20 · 07-12-2009, 08:40 AM

I like em too. I think they would look real tough converted to 4wd...

NORMSCOLORADO · 07-12-2009, 10:43 PM

ok she is home and in many pieces in the garage i got the bed off hood off fenders. gay plow frame...and she needs alot of work under the cab basically the whole floor pan is gone. the rearend needs work the guy that had it before me used it as a skidder and well he broke some leafs including main leafs u bolts and the retainer cups.... needs rockers cab corners and a few other things.... but i have a project ahead of me!!

Well, it's a '68 of course. 292, 4 speed, 5.14 gears, 17" split rims, 9' box and all, but I still love 'er.
Still waitin' for pics of yours................ have fun with it!

Don't misunderstand me...I love them. I think the long stepside in a lifted 4x4 is really cool! I have only seen a couple and think they are great. I just wanted to point out that in most markets you should be able to get a smokin' deal on them since everyone wants a short fleet.

**GruntMoanCough** · 07-12-2009, 11:52 PM

Not misunderstood, just havin' some fun.

And, I have plans for a rolling '69 4x4 chassis for my '68

**special-K** · 07-13-2009, 05:54 AM

I love them stock.I like all the configurations stock.But,I look at these and have no desire to customize.Their beauty is built into them.Most guys into these trucks these days don`t like them as trucks or as factory original.How many stock shortbeds do we have here?It seems every time someone shows a shortbed sitting stock all you see are "slam it" responses.I`m thinking that`s the reason so many have no love for long Stepsides.It`s that most want to customize and these trucks say customize like a shortbed says farm truck.
I didn`t see where this guy asked anything about value,just rarity.He`s not looking at an investment,he`s looking at a cool old truck.I know among the antique truck collector world a C/30 Stepside would be more desirable than a short Fleetside.Besides,they still make short Fleetsides.They haven`t made C/30 Stepsides since 1972,I believe.Longbed Stepsides haven`t been made for 25 years.IIRC,they stopped before`87 in like`84.

Longhorn Man · 07-13-2009, 03:53 PM

i just looked... one ton stepsides till 87. The body style went on a few more years, but not in a step side.

**chev-obsession** · 07-13-2009, 04:29 PM

i bet those are hard to find parts for.
