1Ton · 12-03-2004, 08:19 PM

Here is mine not pretty but by next fall it should be.

LONGHAIR · 12-03-2004, 09:13 PM

Though it may be a 1 ton truck, this is not a "dually". This is a work box type truck (electric Co., Roach Coach, etc.). The rear axle in these trucks is much shorter........that's why the wheels don't stick out, when a regular bed is installed.

**JIMs70GMC** · 12-04-2004, 07:41 PM

Longhair so it was a cab and chassis truck.

7gmc2 · 12-05-2004, 03:58 PM

gregful you are right! that is a very nice 1 ton. it is probably the nicest i have ever seen!

JCurtis · 12-06-2004, 12:10 AM

here it is two years ago. Is going to be redone during the summer

I know the older vins had a code for a cab & chassis but didn't see anything relating to the 81-87. Mine is just code C for "line and chassis". Then 4 for "truck body type", 4 door. Then a 3 for "truck series", for a 1 ton. Sure the rear is narrower, I know the parts are all the same between the two except for axle tube and axle lengthes.

Most likely I cut the oak blocks for the original stake body for this particular truck. See I used to work directly next door to Dejana who put the Reading bed on it. They were on Park Ave. in Huntington, NY, now in Kings Park. I'm sure I could talk to Tom in parts over there, if he's still there and research it. www.dejana.com I saw plenty of trucks go in from the factory with the duallies on them already. Also saw some that weren't duallies and got for example utility bodies. However, yes most came in as cab & chassis.

What's the actual, factual code for a "dually"?

Below is a 71 rollback for sale ($3800) not too far from me. Has a 396 and other than snapping a pic, didn't look it over.

**special-K** · 12-10-2004, 11:13 AM

I saw a motorhome like that in Hershey PA in October, except is was built on a 69 Ford, they have to be one of the ugliest motorhomes ever built.

longhorn71 · 12-12-2004, 04:10 PM

here are my 1-tons.The green one is a 72 and was bought by my dad when it was new.It is a 133" model.350 and 4 speed truck.It is in good shape with very little rust it is the next project after the longhorn.The 67 is parts,it is a gmc too 157" wheelbase.They are no so nice looking but i thought i would post them.If anybody needs parts from the 67 let me know

gene 2 · 12-14-2004, 10:35 AM

Sure would like to have one of those 18" 3 piece wheels off the 67, but I know the shipping would be to much......I do have a question ...Do you know if you can adjust the clutch on the 72?... I have a 72 Chevy 1 ton and do not know if I can adjust clutch or not.....gene

**JIMs70GMC** · 12-14-2004, 10:44 AM

gene 2, yes you can adjust the clutch of your 72. it would be the linkeage between the z-bar and the clutch fork.

the 18" tires are hard to find.they do not make 18s any more.The rims are split rims and are BAD.They should not be used,16s bolt on and the tires are easier to get too.I have 2 front 18s on rims that are new off my 72

I know you are right about going to 16" rims,...I was just trying to keep it a little higher because I have a snow plow on the front and a wrecker bed on the rear.....gene

That truck belongs to joesjunk, you should PM him with any questions about it.

As for my truck, well its a factory 3/4 ton...but it will get a dana 60 front axle here in the distant future, so I guess its a member of the one ton club

7gmc2 · 12-16-2004, 05:24 PM

oldiron that is a nice one! it seems to have gone through a few different configurations along the way...it is still very nice in any form. keep'em coming guy's all welcome here..............................
