Re: 67 C-30 Dually pickup build.
Couple more questions. I noticed you don't use a hydroboost, is the brake vacuum booster plumbed directly into the vacuum pump on the diesel? Any problems hooked up like that? Is the radiator and shroud from the diesel truck you got the motor from?

Re: 67 C-30 Dually pickup build.
Hey man, any updates yet ???
I got to thinking & if you must have side markers on your fenders, look at some of the side markers on a lot of these little sporty cars in your local parking lots What comes to mind for me, is some of the newer VW products have small oval side markers with clear lenses |

67_C-30,
Do you know where that 71 mounted his ac? On the 6.2L, the ac is mounted on the drivers side...If you run the hydroboost, you will not have enough room to mount the ac. Thanks, David |

The hydroboost master cylinder doesn't have a big booster behind it & doesn't stick out "that" far, & unless the engine was sunk back into the firewall really far I see no reason for there to be a clearance issue Now I may be incorrect in this, but I don't see you as being right in stating that it won't work either :cool: |
Re: 67 C-30 Dually pickup build.
Spray-Bomb,
I just put a 6.2 in my 1970 with hydroboost. The ac and hydroboost does not fit. I will post pictures on monday. David |

I'm interested in this as well. I thought it would fit too, but I haven't actually done it. Would a smaller AC compressor fit? |

Can you contact the owner of the previous pictured truck? |
Re: 67 C-30 Dually pickup build.
I don't know who owns it. Its just a pic I found on some Diesel site. I can't remember where I found it. It was advertised as having A/C.

I have also been playing around with some decals to go on the engine and under the hood. Detroit used to designate their engines by # of cylinders -Type of block - cubic inches per cylinder - and "T" designation if it were turbo charged. For example a 6V71 was a V6 engine with 426 cu in. With that being said, the 6.2 TD would be an 8V47-T if that designation was still used. I made up a few different designs of this decal, and another that would be a valve cover decal with all the service parts numbers. I think they'll look very cool on there and definitely different than anything anyone else has. |
Re: 67 C-30 Dually pickup build.
Will that motor bolt up to the same transmissions as the chevy v-8's. It sure looks like the same bolt pattern on the back of the block. Sorry for the dumb question i just know nothing about diesels

Re: 67 C-30 Dually pickup build.
I have got to hand it to you, this is a very very cool truck you are building, I have long thought of exactally what you are doing. I have a 72 C-30 that I am working on right now. Somthing you might consider is installing a NV4500 as well, I will be posting pictures on a build thread here shortly, I think you might take a lot away from it.
Here is a pic of my Dually "The Boss Hoss" http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e2...1119071005.jpg |
Re: 67 C-30 Dually pickup build.
Oh one more thing you might consider, this is a swap I have done in the past, if you find a 73-91 suburban in the junk yard, you can pull the fuel tank right out of it along with the frame cross members, these will bolt directly into your truck, some times with no drilling required, I am trying to remember, but I think that some of the suburbans even had 32 gallon tanks. you can also cut the fuel door out of a 90's model suburban, and graft it into your bed side, it looks really sweet, and the fuel door looks like it is suposed to be there.
