I like this for all the visual reasons!

Are those 255/85r16? Any rubbing or spacers? The km2's look great and very nice on wheel paint!

Tires are 235/85r16 with no spacers or rubbing

As far as I know we got the Custom Deluxe base model and thats all. they came in C10 C20 and C30 sizes

my truck still has its original 010 block 350

That is too Cool. Are you planning on a headache rack for the front of the bed?

C30trailerspecial · 05-01-2014, 05:00 PM

no, not as yet, I really cant decide on a head board or not.... some days I think maybe yea but other days I perfer it with out clutter, the c30 is to haul my race car so I dont need panic lights,

I was thinking more to save the cab from accidentally going a bit to far up the bed with whatever you may be hauling. Looks good either way though.

I am definitly thinking about a head board but I have a pair of wrecker truck J hooks with chains permanently mounted to the rear of the deck, I put the hooks over the diff & pull the duster up with the winch untill the chains stop it then strap the front wheels down, I have another safty chain at the front as a back up.

I can see this truck becoming busy in the future. I have owned the trailer for a few years and now it needs a birthday. I will paint it up and polish the wheels up the same as the Chevy
