Re: NAPCO Thread
Not sure when they stopped, but I had a '71 C/30 NAPCO at one time. The need for one tons remained till late-70s and they went on with the medium-heavies years beyond.

Re: NAPCO Thread
Now that you mention it, where is the proper thread for C30 and K30 stuff, would feel better if it was under heavy stuff but you tell me?

https://www.vintagepowerwagons.com You'll want the NAPCO shop manual pamphlet when adjustments are made to toe-in. If it's like my 57, each rod end has different thread count (course/fine). To get correct toe, you have to turn one rod end 1 turn and the opposite end 2 turns etc. The pamphlet has a chart that will tell you which one to adjust and how much based on your initial measurements.

Re: NAPCO Thread
Thought I would share this 1958 GMC Napco I helped a buddy get yesterday. Its a V8 with a three on the tree w/overdrive??? We looked it over for about 2 hours. It has zero rust or repairs anywhere to the sheet metal on it. I'm a bit suspicious of the bed though. It has a fleetside emblem on it and I don't think that would have come on a GMC. Can anyone confirm that this emblem shouldn't be there? Neither one of us know much about these trucks but are learning.

Re: NAPCO Thread
If Fleetside is right then I am wrong. I never heard of or recall seeing even the first year called anything but Wideside. Pretty sure the GMC got no emblem. Very nice find

Re: NAPCO Thread
I believe that emblem belongs on a Chevy not a GMC.

Re: NAPCO Thread
The listing stayed till it expired? Wow, hard to believe. I feel the same way about it (I think). V8 truck, 1t, traditional Dark Green, fish & wildlife. You better believe that would be restored right back to all that if that truck was mine

Re: NAPCO Thread
Another rare 4X4, a Coleman, not a NAPCO. A cool suburban though...

Re: NAPCO Thread
That's a decent price. Especially if you have a decent Burb or panel to convert to a 4x4.
