Rollbacks
Looking for some info on converting a C30 into a rollback. I think I have read that the C30s came in different wheelbase lengths, what would be best? I know where a '69 motor home is located. Would that be a good candidate as far as length?
How hard is it to install a Jerr-Dan or similar aluminum bed on one of these trucks? Any idea of how much I would have to invest in the bed, PTO, ETC? I am basically looking to be schooled by some members who have experience in doing one of these conversions or has had a bed installed. Any pictures or info would be great. |

Re: Rollbacks
The longer cab & chassis has an 84" CA measurement. They all need a frame stretch,so either WB will make a good candidate. But,I guess the less stretch the better.
