Beautiful trucks. Both of these easily make my top 10 in the appearance category.





I favour the appearance of Rushnbobo's bed but I can't deny the importance of a good headache
rack.

I totally agree about the headache board (if you actually use it as a work truck)

Here is the difference, my truck only hauls one thing....."ASS".... so I guess I don't need it.....................

BTW thanks for the compliments It means alot to me and everyone who puts in those long weekends to finish their rides...........Rushnbobo................

The way u see it now it measures 6'6 x 8'
-Since this is the "short" wheelbase version 1 ton it came with a 7' x 9' bed exactly like Tim Meyers SLOMOTION in this thread ..if u look closely you can see from the side that his bed overhangs the axle 12 inches more than mine.
Since he had committed himself to preserving a original appearance due to the rarity of his truck leaving the bed in its original proportions was smart. If I started with his truck I would have built it the same ...even the 292 inline!!

My goal from the start was a "restomod" so I looked at building more of a street rod appearance. The bed was definatly not going to work with my vision in its original proportions.....so first order was to reduce the bulky overhang, and i settled on 8 ft. by cutting out 12 inches and welding back together. The frame was now sticking out the back by around 6 inches so more cuttting.

Now it's close but still didn't look quite right.....it was the width, overhanging the tires .....more cutting. Took a section (about 6 inches from the rear center) and tacked it up....stood back and ...that was it!!!!!.....ALMOST

Look at Tim's bed height....and compare....mine sits about 2 inches lower on the frame which helps make it look like it's not floating to high above the frame....this was done with removing all the oak framework and building up the structure with channel iron in its new lower position.

This is an original Chevy bed (look for the rounded corners and detail in the bed sides). It did not come on all 1 tons trucks BTW ...it could also be ordered as a chassis only which is also done today on 1 ton and up trucks. Before '73 Chevy did not build a fleetside bed w/fender extensions as is common place today as 1 tons changed into dual purpose commercial and personal use.

Pre '72 1 ton and larger were considered commercial vehicles hence no reason to fab up a fleetside dually. One exception was camper coach builders in which the chassis was sent to another factory to add the camper back ...pretty rare ...there's at least 1 on the forum.

Ok thats all my secrets........almost.........this is what u get when u ask me a question ....ten times more info than u probably wanted .....thats just me...

...................................Rushnbobo

Re: 1 ton dually pics post

Rush, you're right, it's a C20, and I'm waiting for it to grow up to a C30, but it seems reluctant. But since you brought it up....(There's three things that an old man can't help talking about, his grandkids, his dog, and his truck )
Here's a couple of a one-ton-wannabe.........

Slomotion I'm highly jealous of you and that beautiful flatbed, I let a 67 c20 dually flatbed slip away and pics of your truck just tease me with what I could have built one day

Re: 1 ton dually pics post

Here's mine. It has 57k on the chassis but sat for years with a bent diff. The po replaced the diff with a 14 bolt and the engine had siezed from sitting so a newer small block went in. It was originally a grain truck but the box and hoist was removed. The PO had a deck laying around so I picked it up too. I advertised looking for a scissor hoist and here in farm country I had no shortage of replies. A hundred bucks later I had all the parts I needed. The PTO pump was still in the chassis. I use it around our acreage and here it is set up for hauling our water.
