Re: Mongos 81 c30

I had a need for a bigger truck to pull my Mahindra 50hp tractor so I went looking for a squarebody ton c&c truck..lucked up on this truck...it came from a local fire dept and only had 20200 miles on it when I bought it..it was kept inside most its life so there was no rust to deal with...it did have a bunch of holes in the doors from several different mirrors that had been put on it over the years...13 holes total in each door..the truck had a 350 with a sm465 trans and 4.10 gears...the truck ran great but lacked in power...

first order of business was to pull the 13ft utility bed off and shorten the frame..I cut a total of 5ft out of the frame..I bought all the metal and built my own cm style bed for the truck..sanded down the cab, fixed the body work and put a driveway paint job on it..the bodyshop i talked to wanted 7k to paint just the cab...i nearly had a heartattack..a lot of packages from lmc helped me redo the interior
