I like it!!! would make a Killer 4x4

Re: 1 ton dually pics post
 

Pretty sure I saw one of these moving trucks today it was the same butt ugly color had the 2 hole bud wheels, and west coast mirrors. Someone had put a flatbed on it in 94. It was originally equipped with an automatic which would make sense for a moving truck. I'm contemplating buying it once I get a job.

Here's my latest toy. A 69 Custom 30 wrecker. I literally saved this one right out of a junkyard. It was down in the yard and some parts were sold from it before I got it. (luckily I tracked down most of those parts and got them back)

Plans are to restore this truck back to like new condition. It will be driven just for fun on occasion, mostly doing this to preserve a bit of history (and the fact that I love this truck!) :lol:

Truck is showing 49,000 and it's possibly original but have to confirm that yet. It was a one owner truck, owned by a body shop a few miles from me. Last on the road in 1987. 350, 4 bbl, 4 speed w/4.10 rear. May not look like it but this truck runs GREAT! It can still tow too, I practiced with a parts car just for fun. :metal:

Re: 1 ton dually pics post
 

thats awsome, I would love to find and old wrecker like that.

Here's my big girl as found on the side of the road. So far I have rounded up doors, hood, cowl, buckets & console, cab lights, and dualled it out to the back with turbo mufflers.

Here is my '70 GMC 1 ton with the later model wheels I just got for it at the local Pull-A-Part. I also just picked up an NV4500 5 speed at P-A-P that I am going to put in it. That way, I can drive it on the highway at the speed limit without turning the engine at 5000 rpm all the time (4:10 rear end).

Re: 1 ton dually pics post
 

Slomotion I'm highly jealous of you and that beautiful flatbed, I let a 67 c20 dually flatbed slip away and pics of your truck just tease me with what I could have built one day

Re: 1 ton dually pics post
 

Thank you 69C. You'll find another one. I found this one tucked back under a lean-to with only the right headlight and two feet of bumper showing. For several weeks everytime I drove by I'd look to see if it was still there. One day I got the courage to stop and check it out (it was about 150 yards off the road,) and was surprised at what it was. I was expecting to find a pickup, but thought it would be fun to build something a little out of the mainstream.
Keep hunting, you'll find one out there somewhere.

I might as well throw mine in.... Little before and after:

Is the NV4500 a direct bolt in? Will you need to cut down the drive shaft?

Here is my input.

Re: 1 ton dually pics post
 

Trucks72, that is sweet.

farmal, can you post some side view shots of your truck? I'm interested to see how those side tanks look with the long wheelsbase. Thx

Re: 1 ton dually pics post
 

I recently picked up a '72 1-Ton, although it's currently being set up for a '67/'68 front clip, and I have a question for some of you. Concerning fuel tanks, it looks like farmall has some side tanks. MYGMCANDME and farmtrucks, I can't really tell where the fuel tank is, as least in these pictures. trucks72, you have a really nice looking lift-bed and tool box on the driver's side. Is that another tool box on the passenger side? And, if so, where is your fuel tank. I'm just curious, the fuel tank style and location is just one of many questions I'm sure I'm going to have in the near future. I'll have to add a picture of my 1-Ton when I get to the house!

Re: 1 ton dually pics post
 

Good looking trucks!

Concerning the fuel tanks, and this is strictly my opinion, I had two round (barrel-shaped) beer kegs that I was going to polish and mount under my bed where the tool boxes are. I was going to make up lines where I could draw from either tank with a switching valve mounted in the cab by the seat. Having driven trucks for years and seeing thousands of trucks with the fuel tanks mounted behind the cab outside of the frame rails I thought it was just a natural place to put them. But it dawned on me one day, that diesel is much harder to ignite than gasoline. Diesel would probably put out a spark in an accident, where gas would just blow if there were any leakage at all.
Short of building a cage for the tank, and a fuel cell like the race cars use, I'm under the impression that 20 gallons of gas hanging out there with no protection is problematic.
I'm not trying to rain on any ones parade, and I don't want to offend any one, I just want to point out the potential for a serious hazard. Just my $.02

Re: 1 ton dually pics post
 

Here mine.

Re: 1 ton dually pics post
 

may have tracked down a bed in Alabama thru a member so I can start a flatbed "clone"

Re: 1 ton dually pics post
 

Excellent! Let us know if you get it.

Re: 1 ton dually pics post

Love 1 Ton's had a 50 GMC !

Re: 1 ton dually pics post
 

Wild 4, I will find or take a side view pic.

Re: 1 ton dually pics post
 

I agree 100%. I'd either leave the tank inside or put it in the rear like Suburbans and Blazers.

Re: 1 ton dually pics post
 

Remember the law suits GM went through from the fires that happen when 73 throu early 80's pick-ups were T-boned and the saddle tanks would split and exploded.

Re: 1 ton dually pics post
 

Thought I would add my recent acquisition to this thread. This is a '72 1-Ton I found in the local area and the PO had to let it go due to some business issues. I acquired the truck from a friend with a fresh, never-fired 396 (yes, we've been through all the debate and opinions about whether or not it's new, etc., lol), a good bit of bodywork done to it, the engine compartment and cab have been sprayed, and the key (in my opinion) is I feel I got a really good deal on it. No gas tank in the cab and no tank came with it, hence the question(s) I posed about fuel tank options for the 1-Ton variants.
