Ive done a lot of work to this truck this winter already. ditched the 4 speed and 205 for a new 400 w shift kit, diesel converter, 205, hydraulic trans lines, cooler ran to the back of the truck, aluminum intake, headers, removed all emmisions, edelbrock 650, rear main, oil pan, belts, fixed broken dip stick, motor mouns, plus more im sure... hope you guys like it!

There is some beautful trucks on here!

Looks like that old girl gets a workout^ whats it have under it for a lift? Just curious

bluecollarron · 11-28-2011, 05:25 PM

The way I look at it is if I can't use it why build it!

its between 6-8 spring lift. Measures 11 in from top spring pad to bottom frame up front, measures 27 in to bottom of frame, 5.5 blocks 2in add aleafs and one ton truck springs in rear. Next thing will be shackle flips.

The truck is put away for the winter..but this spring i will get some more photo's up...

Generallee · 12-15-2011, 02:49 PM

Hi, Just restoring this C30. I live in the UK. It is nearly finished, just need some wiring and interior trim, the rear end now has alluminum chequer plate instead of the bumper. It is ex-military - made from a few different trucks I think. Straight 6 with a 350 box.
These are the before and after pics.
8 lug wheels and other parts are hard to find over here.
Hope you guys like what we get up to over here in Blighty!!
