Who Likes odd trucks? 70 AV Gas Truck - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Cash3481** · 10-27-2014, 01:20 PM

Well I bought this truck today but cant pick it up until next week. It was an Aviation Gas delivery truck from a local airport until last year. Has a 250 4 speed and PTO powering it and everything works according to the owner.
It has an awesome rust free frontend on it. Its inners front fenders and core support are perfect from what I could see. Its never been driven on the road and has an HO52 rear end and 16.5X8.25 rims all the way around. I looked it over and there are a bunch of period correct things the company that built it did to make it work. Ill have more pics after I bring it home. Just thought Id share a few pics.

Kinda neat. Are you keeping it as a fuel truck? If not, what is that wheel base, looks pretty short?

no1udknow · 10-27-2014, 01:31 PM

on a side note.... You could convert that tank into a hot tub and it would be awesome

**Cash3481** · 10-27-2014, 01:51 PM

Even funnier note is that I work with a few million gallons of Jet fuel every day. I pumped AV gas to helicopters and drones downrange all over the world for the last 24 years... I get out and now I bought my own fuel truck! LOL Irony huh?

I didn't measure it but its pretty short and a leaf spring rear too!

bollybib · 10-27-2014, 02:42 PM

Looks like the gas tank has already been relocated for you !

Aussie Ol' Blue · 10-27-2014, 04:55 PM

WHAT? No A/C?

trac209 · 10-27-2014, 04:59 PM

Neat find

67ChevyRedneck · 10-27-2014, 05:17 PM

Is that a C30?

If so it's a "chassis and cowl" truck and only 138 were built for 1970. Doesn't really make it worth $, but that sure is cool.

hugger6933 · 10-27-2014, 08:57 PM

That is awesome. It would really find a use here in my farming area. The farmers could haul diesel in it to their equipment in the fields. Great find

67swb72klb · 10-27-2014, 09:15 PM

cool find

**special-K** · 10-27-2014, 09:22 PM

That thing is way cool! I'd have to keep it a fuel truck but customized

yuccales · 10-27-2014, 10:17 PM

That thing is cool. I'd drive it around town as is!

**Cash3481** · 10-27-2014, 10:39 PM

Thanks for all the comments. I do have a catch with this truck. It was ordered as a piece of equipment and no title was issued to the airport, that I know of. I'm going to take the BOS to the DMV and see what they say about it. The people in my new county are The Best at helping out. I moved to the new house and the nice people in Wellington ALWAYS make sure I'm covered.
I'll keep everyone informed of the outcome. I'm stoked to get it home so wish me luck? I didn't realize the production was low on these so I need to regroup before I go hitting it with the impact gun.

**Cash3481** · 10-27-2014, 10:50 PM

If anyone has a pic of other odd ball trucks such as this please post a pic for me.
It will be hard to justify keeping it as is... Especially to the better half.
I need something to push me over the edge... Give me an idea for motivation please.

I like the look of that one! Now I'm jealous...

litew8 · 10-27-2014, 11:44 PM

It looks a little different compared to yours (I think). I wonder if they customized them, or if it's a different year/model of tanker.

67ChevyRedneck · 10-28-2014, 08:31 AM

They were sold as a cowl and chassis. You literally only got the frame/drivetrain, front clip, cowl, steering wheel and pedals. You had to create the rest. They were likely built by a conversion company as a special order.

**Elliot949** · 10-31-2014, 09:46 AM

Way cool... I see three trucks getting closer to being completed...

sixtyeightC10 · 10-31-2014, 11:56 AM

That would be a neat thing to see at a car show after it was all restored.

Vintage Windmills · 10-31-2014, 02:16 PM

Mike, that is cool. Would be a shame to part if you cant find a buyer for it complete. I would think it would be worth more than the front clip value and scrap value for the rest? Shoot me a PM b4 you part, if it comes to that maybe I can save it.

**Cash3481** · 10-31-2014, 08:34 PM

Vintage windmills,
As of now I have buyers for the front end, a buyer for the running driving chassis, and a farmer is interested in the tank for diesel.
I would like to give you an oppertunity to buy it whole but understand its gonna be hard to get this much out of a complete truck.
I'm sending you a pm.

**Cash3481** · 10-31-2014, 11:12 PM

Here are a few more pics I took today... Cause its HOME!
