Found a 1965 Chevy C60 flatbed yesterday out at a old body shop, gonna get some pics today,I also have a older twin boom Holmes 600 wrecker body,so maybe another build for the brother of the GMC,lol

You are going to like that 478. Tons of Torque. You won't have trouble towing anything with it. I used to drive a '62 6500, 16 Ft Flatbed Dump. I would haul 20,000 Lbs like nothing. I even pulled a fully loaded Freight Car with it once (Railroad didn't line it up right with the dock). I had the same thing, 5-Speed Clark with a 2-Speed Rear.
Keep us posted on it.
