That is way cool. Youre a visionary man! I have to admit when I bought my C-30 I never dreamed it could have potential like what your doing.
Rock on!

If you don't mind, what has been your cost for the parts and machine work for the conversion? I'm looking at a one Ton myself.

Re: started a new c30 build ( your going to love this one )

cost 4k in rims
tires rear should of bin $1'800 it got them for $250
(just at the right place at the right time)
machine shop stuff under $500 = $6,800

The front rimes went on with out a hick up just bolted up.
the rear brakes we are just going to weld up a rear bracket to hold the calipers.
the rear flip of the axle was just some welding for a 9" drop next we have to notch the rear frame like 6 to 9"

We are going to put a 4 link and air ride on it so next is a 4 link rear and some air bags we might pull the rear all the way back to the end of the frame as well o and some air for the front. we are thinking of doing a body drop on the cab as well but we will see.

Re: started a new c30 build ( your going to love this one )

Please give us details on the front and rear brakes. I need to do something to replace my unobtianium rotors and I have a Dana 70 410 that I want to disk brake and replace my Eaton with.
Looks Killer.

NOT trying to hijack this thread, but I wanted to ask FARMALL if you have a picture of your C30 with the 157" wheelbase you could post, or tell me where I could see it. I also have a cab/chassis C30 with the long wheelbase and I'm trying to decide what to do about a bed. Wanted to see what your truck looks like with the 12 foot bed.
