72 gmc c30 machine shed find - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Leonard60 · 12-31-2016, 08:04 PM

Just found a nice c30. This is like new fond I blemish on the grill found a couple marks on the paint I'm sure I can buff out. A few rock chips on the back of the cab corners. Rockers still even have the paint on them. One small crack on the steering wheel dash is like new. Interior is emasculate paint still shines.
No powers steering though. Wonder if the power steering box off a 1/2 ton would bolt right in other than that. A nice truck. It has split rims that are 18". Wonder if a guy can buy steel rims that would fit and still retain factory size.

That truck is cherry! Nice find.

Leonard60 · 12-31-2016, 08:30 PM

I'm amazed at the shape this truck is in almost new. Couple upgrades and I'll be happy as a clam.

Coley · 12-31-2016, 08:37 PM

Wow...great truck...great find.
Another good ol' Alberta truck find.....my home province...lol.
Don't put in a 1/2ton power steering box...its not heavy duty enough.
Find a 3/4 ton power steering box and put that in....there are lots out there.
All Good

Great looking Grain Truck ..

LongBox · 12-31-2016, 08:45 PM

Great find, and congratulations to you on your new truck (I assume you pulled the trigger?).

More pictures, like under the hood, etc, would be great, and what are your plans for this truck?

factorystock · 12-31-2016, 08:48 PM

Super clean find! Nothing beats indoor storage. 19.5" solid dually type wheels off a disc brake step van ( bread type box van) are the ones to look for. The 19.5" tubeless tires are approx. the same diameter as the 18" tube type tire.

Would like to update to power steering and tubeless tires other than that nothing it's just to dam nice to mess with.

projectking · 12-31-2016, 09:03 PM

I love it, can't say I've ever seen a SPID that fresh looking!

Leonard60 · 12-31-2016, 09:04 PM

I'll get more pics later the guy is going to keep the truck in the shed for me until spring. Don't want to drive it home in the winter until I can get a shed built to store it in.

**68bowtie** · 12-31-2016, 09:07 PM

Real nice truck.

We were just talking about Wheels like those on the '60-'66 forum and I believe they will have Larger Holes in them for the Larger Studs those trucks have.

**special-K** · 01-01-2017, 12:13 AM

Very nice find. It's cool that it's a 2-tone base model farm truck. I always called the white top a farmer's 2-tone.

That grille is the 68-70 style. I wonder what's up with that.

As far as I know steering boxes are the same 1/2-1t

The pic isn't very good it has the black paint like my 72 just doesn't show in the pic I guess it's a bad angle shot whatever
