Bumping this thread for my 157" 1972. Love this truck! Needs a sear cover, but otherwise a work horse. Simple 350/th400 setup, with the factory locker in the Eaton

That's a great truck. Very nice. So, no 'P' on the shifter selector, right?

Mines been home quite awhile now. I sold all of my other projects including the one I was going to use all the green interior and super items for. Its just sitting though, Im dealing with some physical issues that dont allow me to get in there and wrench. No idea whats to become of it ... course thats my usual m.o. even when Im feeling fine haha!

Here is one of my C30's 157" WB trucks.

This one is being converted into a flatbed with a 396/TH400 and a gear vendors. I changed the rear to a 14 bolt and swapped the front crossmember for disks. I have welded up the cab from the motorhome cut outs and it will be a fun truck. Putting a flatbed with a gooseneck hitch.

That will be a nice truck. The ole camper got a case of the sags, ey?

Hey Mark, sorry to hear you're having some rough going with health. I hope you get through it soon. I want to see you get that truck done.

Re: Who's rolling on 157" wheel base C30's?
 

That thing looks sweet with the camper! I would love to find something like that.

Special K,

It has been setting for a while.

Bad1916,
The truck part was in excellent shape, the camper part, not so much. It was in a mobile home park and the owner let cats stay in it. All ruined. I will get this one back on the road in better shape though.

Thanks Tim, I cant tell you how much blood, stool, urine, xrays (too much info? lol) Ive had tested with them trying to figure out whats wrong with all of my joints and major muscle groups. Working with regular doctors, specialists, and naturopaths. Right now Im having my genes and gut biomes being tested.

Im still working light duty (as much as possible). But when Im home Im taking it pretty easy and careful. I can still do heavy things but the pain can come out of nowhere ... but overall I do feel like things will get back to normal, well whatever normal is for someone closing in on 62 lol.

SUPER delayed response, but its a normal TH400, so it has park "P" position. love this truck, especially because I can use it. I haven't had a truck in years that I can dump a couple yards of rock in the back of without grimacing.


I love that copper color, one of my favorite colors on these old trucks.
