"BIG" truck forum C/40, C/50, C/60 and the like... - Page 12 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ClassicTVMan1981X · 02-15-2015, 03:03 AM

How many of the 1979-80 Chevy C70s and GMC C7000s were optioned with the 454 tall-deck V-8? This engine was dropped from the medium lineup after 1980 and would not return until 1999, when it was re-engineered as the "Vortec 7400MD" and had replaced the ubiquitous 366 and 427 V-8 engines in the then-current C and T series lines.

here are a few grabs off the net:

bjp68 · 03-16-2016, 07:21 PM

Thanks that's cool

MAXPWR · 04-11-2016, 09:27 PM

This from Dinos build. The cross member they widened and bagged.

1971'Burb · 03-17-2018, 08:46 PM

Some day...1983 C60
Runs good but I'd like a 4l80e in place of the 4speed. Ran out of back burners so this project is in the freezer,

7 Devils · 03-21-2018, 02:08 AM

I just got a 55 GMC 370 Series 2.5 ton dump truck that was used as a farm truck. 270 I6 with 4 spd and pto. It still runs and hydraulics still work. I will be bringing it home in the next month or two. It snowed the night before I went to do the inspection...

Unofornaio · 06-07-2018, 02:09 PM

Here is a couple of mine 68 C 40. I'd love to see a forum for theses truck. I'm having a hard time finding parts..any help would be appreciated GREATLY. I'm currently stuck trying to find wheel cylinders and brake parts. Any info or source for parts or cross reference of parts would be great.

Time for a newer rear end? Freightliner box vans(UPS/Fedex) use GM and modern diesel drivetrains.

i believe this is the forum for big trucks

watahyahknow · 06-07-2018, 03:44 PM

oops

colgad · 06-17-2018, 10:08 AM

Still working on my 67 C50. Some day it will have real paint.
Cut the frame off behind the cab and grafted a 92 TopKick frame to get the 10 lug rear. Freightliner front axle narrowed 10". Disk brakes all around. 445/45's on the rear. Grafted front fenders onto the bed and added another set of running boards to complete the look.

Mike Flea · 06-17-2018, 09:47 PM

I know there a few that don't like these and think it's a waste of a hauler, but I like it. Nice build. What color do you think you're going to paint it?

Looks good.

Keep us posted on your progress.

watahyahknow · 09-20-2018, 07:21 PM

seems to be a solid truck from wat i see on the pictures

**special-K** · 10-15-2018, 09:38 AM

I vote let's start this forum. Great idea!

And I don't see why a 10-30 21 gallon wouldn't fit. Might be designed for same tank.

Jtrux · 04-21-2009, 10:22 AM

I agree, there should be a big truck forum.

**70cst** · 04-21-2009, 10:25 AM

This thread could be the unofficial forum on BIG trucks. Ok...lets see pics.

bbadfred · 04-21-2009, 10:54 AM

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

jasons · 04-28-2009, 04:52 PM

I'd like to see a forum for them. I just missed a 69 C-60.

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.
