Nice ride C30's were 1 ton trucks. Some were used for tow trucks, 1 Ton dump trucks etc. Some were dual Rear wheels, I had a 66 C30 single wheel long bed step side. C30 had heavier axles, leaf springs had extra set of helper springs, lower gear ratio. engine tends to howl at 60mph. 283/327 was common, valve cover gaskets should interchange. 350 will also interchange, but won't be any better on the hwy. Swap all the running gear you could use C10 parts disk brakes up thru 1987. then add drop spindles.
