Picked Up This ‘67 C-30 Yesterday

This has to be the worst lookin’ truck I have ever bought. There is not one piece of sheet metal that doesn’t have at least one good sized dent in it. Not to mention the rust. It was on craigslist for $2000 OBO…. The owner ended up pulling the engine, transmission, flat bed, & hoist and sold me the rest of it for $400.00. He was actually using it to haul gravel until the clutch went out of it a while back.

The good… It has one new tire on the rear and two newer rims, new brake lines, rebuilt and re-covered seat and a new ignition switch. It also has a title with current plates.

The bad… Everything else…

So what are your plans for it ?

Re: Picked Up This ‘67 C-30 Yesterday
 

Doc,

I take you are going to part it out, correct?
If so, I need the rear most cross member. The one that goes between the rear spring hangers.
I will need it shipped to NC 28025.

Thanks!!!
Alex

Believe it or not I am going to build it. I am also going to try and save the cab. I need my head examined, I know, but nobody ever accused me of being too bright....:)

Thanks guys

I don't know what the back space is but I do know they are heavy...:)

I'm not too good with the build thread thing but I will try to keep updates posted. Keep in mind that I have four projects going at this time so I don't know how fast it will progress.

Well, I got the front clip off of it this afternoon and cleaned some of the stuff out of the cab so I could see what it looked like. I will take the seat out of it tomorrow if it isn't raining. The floor is pretty rusty but I have a good complete cab floor I can put in it.

Re: Picked Up This ‘67 C-30 Yesterday
 

Doesn't look all that bad up front. How's the frame in back?

Re: Picked Up This ‘67 C-30 Yesterday
 

The frame has been modified in the back but that won't be a problem.

Leon, That thing is going to be a real Beast with an 8.1 and Allison trans! Can't wait to see you get started on it.... Keep the pics coming .
