Tim has a point. Make sure everyone votes here, but we might be better off posting owner pics and build topics in a new thread. One way or the other, just keep posting SOMEWHERE if we want to have a chance at a special area for these beauties. When I started this thread I said it would probably be best if we just had a little general sub-forum that included any year of heavy duty truck. Maybe the people with the authority will take notice??? Anyway, glad we are up to three pages now, keep posting and voting!

I hear what you`re saying,Jon.But,even with that logic (which is what most do,just go to their years forums),how many do you think go to the "Site Feedback" forum regularly?It`s amazing thiis thread has gotten the attention it has.But,it`s only here to be a poll to help considering putting a forum elsewhere.

Re: "BIG" truck forum C/40, C/50, C/60 and the like...
 

found the big truck website http://www.bigasstrux.com/ from the look of his website the guy has got an attitude as big as his trucks though

Re: "BIG" truck forum C/40, C/50, C/60 and the like...
 

So,he used his own name for his company,huh?:lol:
At first I thought,"Hey,cool".But,I`m over that.I think those trucks are dumb and worthless.I`m sure once you drove one for a short while you`d get tired of the novelty,as well as the rough ride,high cost of maintainance/repairs,etc.I just like form and function working together and that`s why I like trucks.Those have no function.I`d rather have a medium duty with a purpose for work.

Re: "BIG" truck forum C/40, C/50, C/60 and the like...
 

Specail-K So we should go to the appropriate year of the c-series we want to talk about. For instance, if I want to bump my gums about a 1967 chevy c-50 2 ton truck I should go to 67-72 chevrolet and gmc pickup message board. Once there I or someone can start a new thread possible: Heavy Chevys C series 40 50 60 and the like. Would that work, than we can gather there and see how it goes.

Re: "BIG" truck forum C/40, C/50, C/60 and the like...
 

Yeah,but not just a general thread.Just like any pickup thread,"Here`s my`67 C/50",or,"Saw this cool C/60 for sale",or,"Where can I find Medium Duty parts?",or,"Has anyone seen any Medium Duties built into pickups?",or,"Look what I did with my C/40 today"...you get the picture.
I see the poll is looking good.As far as I`m concerned the MDs are winning.If people don`t like it they are losing.You don`t vote you got no voice,like any poll or election.90.51% yays.

Re: "BIG" truck forum C/40, C/50, C/60 and the like...
 

Special k, you vote just one time right? Ok, I did it. 60-66 Big Red Heavy Chevy C60 in the 60-66 Chevrolet message board. It's kinda lonely over there. bushy

Thank you for the reminder.

Re: "BIG" truck forum C/40, C/50, C/60 and the like...
 

C50 Rollback; Can you take your truck over to the 67-72 pickup message board. That's what I've been told to do. Just start a thread for the appropriate year. I would start it, though I don't have a pic of my 67 c50 handy. I've got to plow the driveway we are getting lake effect snow. I'll take a pic if I can get the old girl to smile while I'm out. I'll look for you when I get back. bushy

Re: "BIG" truck forum C/40, C/50, C/60 and the like...
 

It's already there. I named the thread Medium Trucks. Not very imaginative.

Re: "BIG" truck forum C/40, C/50, C/60 and the like...
 

I have a medium blue 1/2t.I`ll go post it there.:lol: The interest has grow since this thread was started.Even some new members since then that have MDs.We`ve had thread before and not much response.I think more people are catching on to these brutes.I always wanted one,never had one.There was a member that had a short C/50 wrecker in NH tat would have traded for my C/30 wrecker.But,he got banned for repeated political post violations.some day...

Re: "BIG" truck forum C/40, C/50, C/60 and the like...
 

compare todays cars with the t ford back then ..... cars get to be the size and weight of trucks eventually

Re: "BIG" truck forum C/40, C/50, C/60 and the like...
 

Hmmmmm.."Dumb and worthless" are my creations? Thanks a lot for your kind comments, I think I'm on the wrong forum! I see lots of crazy stuff on here, but everybody likes different stuff, I would NEVER disrespect other people's work.

Re: "BIG" truck forum C/40, C/50, C/60 and the like...
 

I like your trucks Man, keep on buildin them!!! The white crewcab is sweet

Re: "BIG" truck forum C/40, C/50, C/60 and the like...
 

I like 'em... I have been eyeing several 73-87's localy... I like the style of the big cab and grille, and the sbw.

for every 1 negative opinion there might be quite a few positive opinions, that didn't say anything...

Re: "BIG" truck forum C/40, C/50, C/60 and the like...
 

the trucks look nice for sure it was just the kindoff talk like If you are the type of person who is happy taking a little 1/2 or 3/4 ton "baby" truck.......throwing away ten to fifteen thousand dollars trying to add enough parts to make it LOOK like a big truck.....perhaps you should visit a more suitable site......maybe www. sissytruck.com, or someplace like that.on the intro of the website that turned me off
i like the bigger trucks but cant drive them cause i dont have the vision required to be alowed to drive them even with glasses so the smaller trucks is my way out of this problem

MORE VOTES..MORE VOTES..MORE VOTES, ETC! :sumo:

Re: "BIG" truck forum C/40, C/50, C/60 and the like...
 

The opening page on my website has a blanket statement covering all truck people. It is designed specifically to make my "Build Mission" clear....no lift kits, no jacked-up little trucks trying to look big. Nowhere do I attack any one person's work. I have been building these trucks for several years and have them in many states. Some folks pull their streetrods, advertise their business, tow their boats or just have fun riding around. If there was no practical use for this size truck, GM and Ford would not be selling the Kodiak 5500 & F650 pickups. My trucks are just an earlier, more affordable version of this type vehicle.
Perhaps I need to be a little more "thick skinned" regarding some folks remarks. I have found this forum to be one of the best overall for what I do, so I will just shut up for a while and listen.

Re: "BIG" truck forum C/40, C/50, C/60 and the like...
 

Im a huge fan of your work Bigasstrux, in fact I am always looking for a crewcab or one to build a crewcab out of. Keep up the work, its an inspiration to me, of course I live outside the box. One day there will be an extended cab C60 in my yard.

Re: "BIG" truck forum C/40, C/50, C/60 and the like...
 

Gentlemen,This kinda stuff does not strengthen your case to get your own place.

To be honest we don't need another place to baby set.So ALL of you need to stop the off the wall stuff.

Thank you for listening

Re: "BIG" truck forum C/40, C/50, C/60 and the like...
 

Here's a crewcab on ebay, they are very hard to find!

Re: "BIG" truck forum C/40, C/50, C/60 and the like...
 

Sorry, link didn't post. Search ebay under "1987 Chevrolet C70"

Re: "BIG" truck forum C/40, C/50, C/60 and the like...
 

Would this make a good BigAssTruck

Re: "BIG" truck forum C/40, C/50, C/60 and the like...
 

yeah, except they didn't make a dually bed for that style truck, so you would have to make something up... like these ones-

Re: "BIG" truck forum C/40, C/50, C/60 and the like...
 

This is exactly what this thread needed...some Big Truck Pros!!
