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

I love looking at the "BIG" trucks and would love to one day have a C-40 wrecker, so I was thinking we need a forum for them specifically. I don't think it would have to be broke down into sizes or specific year models or anything, just one link for everything and see how it goes. Maybe it could go below the "S10 S15 Luv Blazer II" section. Anyway, look at this post for some more info.

So, lets vote and see if the moderators think it’s warranted to make this new section. I included a pic of one of my recent finds; I would LOVE to have something like this! :sumo:

Oh yeah, you guys that DO own one of these bad mamma-jammas, please post some pics for the heck of it. ;)

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

They definetly should have more attention paid to them ..they are too cool.

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

I think these big brutes are cool and it would be nice to have a forum for them becouse their is not alot of info floating around the web on them. I think a lot of poeple on here could answer questions about them.

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

i agree gives everyone a place to go and swap questions and information on a specific type vehicle, sound familiar?

Besides we are all CHEVRELATED might as well give em a seat on the couch

:smoke:

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

I agree, there should be a big truck forum.

What the heck give them there own forum, maybe all years together?

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

I'd like to see a forum for them. I just missed a 69 C-60.:waah: I'm going to look at a 64 C-60 in the next couple days. If I get one it would be nice to have a dedicated forum for the medium and heavy duty trucks. The information would be easier to find.

this one belongs to a friend

I had a chance to buy a 4wd C-60, now every day I hate myself for passing on it.

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

there would probably be more questions on this subject if people knew they could find the information.

I would be interested in, what were the differences in the different sizes, motor specs, transmissions, were the cabs the same as the smaller trucks?

If the body parts will mount up on a 1/2, 3/4 ton would it make the truck look lowered?

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

So far we have 2 folks who say they have one and would use the area. I know there are more out there on the site, but it will take a bit more to make that happen.

I am not against a forum addition, it just needs to be justified. This poll has been open 10 days and the results are low low...

maybe start writing up some big truck posts, faqs etc and show that its needed.

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

There's the big "pickup conversion" variation... (the owner of that web site had contacted me about a Blazer Chalet he used to own)

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

I like the big guys myself but they would get more exposure on the regular 67-72 section.

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

There is a yard near me with a bunch of them ;)

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

Heres a pretty good thread from thirdstreettito last year. Lotsa pics.

now THAT is nice!!!

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

saw this today on the Memphis CL $1200.00
Would make a great hauler..

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

I drove an old 72 GMC tandem dump body.401 V6 5 speed main box and a 4 speed aux. off and on for 8 years.Light loaded was ok but when I hauled sand to the batch plant 21 ton at a time (overloaded ) you needed every gear!!

Also about the same time period I pulled trailers with a 74 Chevy C60 366 V8 5 speed and 2 speed axle.

Drove a 65 Chevy fuel truck,If you left the two back compartments full and the rest empty it would wheel stand (don't ask how i know that)

Hmmmmmmm, Cool but the Wife would kill me :exit:

I would like to try and lower the body down a little bit and that would look killer!

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

I still have to add about 1 more full page.

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

There is a real interest in medium duty trucks. Our site is fantastic for everything you even thought you might want to know about one ton and under Chevy and GMC trucks. Since starting work on a '71 K5 Blazer and a '72 C30 Longhorn, I would be lost w/o referencing several threads here at our site.

But when it comes to info, both tech and general, for medium size trucks up through the early 70's, I must go to Stovebolt.com. It would be great to be able to access our site for like information. Once folks realize that the site addresses medium duty trucks, and it will take time for word of mouth recognition, i would think that the the medium duty truck forum would grow exponentially. Realize now that i am also partial to medium duty trucks. i have two chevy 2 ton trucks, one a dump bed (6100) and one a stake bed (6500). Not to forget C.O.E.'s. For when i find a 1954 COE for a 5th wheel setup, truck life as i know it will be complete. BTW an earlier COE body on a pickup frame makes for one styl'n pickup truck.

I'd love to see a dedicated section. I own a '68 C50 and I love it (she's a beast!). I purchased a foreclosure 3 years ago and it was abandoned on the property. I've had to rewire the electrical, get the brakes up and going and clean the carb and a tune up and it has all sorts of power. Dump works like a dream. Needs some TLC with some body work and a paint job but mechanically it is very sound.

As the tires wear, I'm changing out the "widow makers".

I'd like to keep it for years to come.

I think I found my next project!

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

Here's my "big" truck. It's a '66 C80 with the 366 V8 and little Spicer 3152F 5speed. Going to try my best to restore it, but I'm having trouble finding parts in the northeast. If anyone knows of any good yards in NY or PA, please let me know!

Big trucks don't rock, they just carry them.

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

I just bought a 61 gmc 4000 series box truck...probably going to get parted for some of my other projects, but I do like the big trucks...just where to put 'em, and what to do with 'em....:lol:

Not mine but great concept!

^ Holy Crap a chop top! That's pretty cool!

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

Saw this 50 model on the Nashville CL. very clean and cool rig.

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

A big truck forum would be great. I have a 74 GMC 6500 with a great running 454 and 2 speed rear end. It's an old garbage truck that's begging to become a flatbed one day.

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

I have come across something almost exactly like this. I want to own one, I could see some earning potential too.

A new forum would be a good idea in my humble opinion, all the years combined into a medium duty forum, at the very least.
:metal:
