Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!

Got this '68 C60 a while back. 366/5+2 with a 16x8 dumping flatbed with grain box sides. Old farmer gave it to me for free because it "wasn't running right". Has 6 new tires and a new Edelbrock 650 on it so can't complain. Found it had 4 dead holes, engine tear down revealed a worn out timing chain and 7 valves bent from hitting pistons. Luckily no other damage. Threw in a new set of valves, 3 push rods, a timing set, and a new oil pump, now it's running great! Tear-down also revealed the engine is bored 030 over. Most of the body is really solid, small amount of rust around step/fender and dented passenger fender. I honestly don't know what I'm going to do with it. Hauled a little bit around the farm and for my neighbors construction company. Will probably eventually either sell it or build some kind of car hauler out of it for my race truck.
