Re: 72 C30 Dually build
I believe they are 235/85/16 on the rear, and 215's of some type up front.
I'm eventually wanting to run aluminum 17" wheels with 225/75/17's or 235/80/17's, or if I stay with 16's will run 225/75/16's or 235/85/16's.

Re: 72 C30 Dually build
Good looking truck!
When I built mine when it came to wheels I was tempted to see what a set of 20-22" (big truck) wheels would look like, but was afraid it would turn out looking cartoonish.

Re: 72 C30 Dually build
Great looking truck. I have a 72 C30 that I am working on also. It looks like you may have an opening in the bed for a gooseneck hitch. If so, we're you able to keep the dump cylinder? I don't think I have room on mine.

Re: 72 C30 Dually build
No more dump cylinder, just a gooseneck hitch under the bed. Thought about trying to keep the dumping flat bed but not sure you would be able to safely handled a gooseneck with a hinged bed. But would love to have a dump trailer!
