1965 C30 Dump - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ironoar · 08-16-2019, 08:03 AM

Well, just picked up this 1965 C30 with dump on it and gonna start tearing into it. According to the guy I bought it from it has:

1975 Rearend
350 swapped into it out of something
Power Steering out of a 79 Suburban
New brake rebuild all the way around
Rebuilt passenger dump cyl.

What I’m going to start with:

Identification of trans, motor, rearend, dump pump, etc
Get the dump working
Tune up
Fluid changes
Grease everything
Wire taillights
Bleed brakes
Put the mirrors on
Cab and marker lights
Windshield
Minor body work

Update 8/15/19
Well had a chance to work on the truck last night and decided to give the dump a try. The guy I bought it off of told me that the dump when engaged would try to lift but the passenger side cylinder was bent which he had rebuilt. According to him the PTO shaft was hooked up to the wrong (upper) input shaft on the pump. I switched the pto driveline to the other shaft with no success, unhooked the cable to the valve and moved it by hand. No matter what I tried I was getting no movement and it wasn’t whining. It has a pretty major leak around the inputs so the next step is to pull the pump, identify it and possibly rebuild.
