Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
Here is the old "Winch Truck" 1967 C-50 with it's original 327. It was first titled in 1969, and used in a salvage yard until the late 70's when it was purchased by my great uncle Joe as a thank you gift for my Dad. My dad painted his 1955 Chevy and he liked it so much he bought my dad this old beast. He knew how much the truck was needed for around his shop. It's seen it's better days, that's for sure! But it still fires right up and drags whole trees out of the woods, or picks up some of the biggest rocks you've ever seen with its 30 ton winch. It's been rolling around on level ground, waiting for some attention for about two years...I want to get the brakes working properly again, and put some new doors, cab corners and rockers back on it, and just keep it going. It definitely deserves it! I have a great amount of respect for this machine. Reason One: It will kill you! lol Two: It has been around since I can remember with minimal maintance! Had there been a place to store it, it probably wouldn't need much of anything fixed. Three: Every time a job has called for it...it fires right up faithfully, and gets the job done! And Four: This truck very well could be the cause for my 67-72 Chevy truck illness!

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
I finally put my '71 GMC on the road this past weekend. Put about 110 miles on it and did pretty good. The notchy Clark 5 speed + 2 speed rear takes some getting used to though. I don't know if I'm not shifting the 2 spd rear right or not but it seems to grind and take several seconds to shift from high to low range. However, it shifts from low to high just fine???
I stopped at the scales on the way home and I was grossing 29K.
