Got a 70 or 71 c-30 short whelelbase dually, 6 cylinder with a auto. Is this a common setup for a 1 ton? Thanks

Tx Firefighter · 03-20-2006, 11:40 PM

6 cylinder duallys are very common (that's where my 292 came from actually), but with an auto trans is pretty uncommon.

nice grab, how about some pics

Longhorn Man · 03-20-2006, 11:51 PM

By short wheelbase... you mean 133 instead of 156, right?
You say 70 or 71... look for disc brakes...that'll tell you if it is a 71.

**special-K** · 03-21-2006, 12:08 AM

The auto is rare,even rarer with a 6.Is it a TH400?I`m thinking all dual wheel 30-series had TH400s.Does this truck have "Park"?What type of body/what was it used for?

67sss · 03-21-2006, 12:16 AM

It's coming here the 23rd or the 24th, will post pics then. A friend of mine bought a house and this was left there and he gave it to me. 133" wheelbase would be correct.

67sss · 04-14-2006, 10:24 PM

pics, still haven't got it home.

67sss · 04-14-2006, 10:26 PM

couple more

1969k10stepside · 04-14-2006, 10:30 PM

well its a 69 or 70

longhorn71 · 04-14-2006, 11:57 PM

the 6cyl was the base engine.not many 1-tons had autos back then tho

.my 72 1-ton is a 133"wheel base too.I think they were more common then the 157"

Robert1970C20rstbukt · 04-15-2006, 01:05 AM

Cool! Looks like a '69 'cause of the inner grille. That's pretty rare, a 6 cyl/auto in a dually!

Brainchild · 04-15-2006, 02:02 AM

Looks like it'll fire up,and drive home

I've seen worse fire right up like they were driven yesterday though.

Good score.

**Canadian694x4** · 04-15-2006, 02:06 AM

Nice...Free is always good. At first glance I would say '69 also...hard to tell untill closer inspection I guess...

I luv doing this, Hey Andy I believe it's 157" not 156"

**special-K** · 04-15-2006, 06:38 AM

That`s a`69 and it was medium gold,just like my`70 was.Look at the shift indicator.No "P",right?That`s how mine was.That truck has great potential.

I hate getting numbers all messed up.
That does look like a 69, and it looks to be in good shape for something that's sat long enough to start sinking in the mud.

Rod · 04-15-2006, 10:45 AM

Hmm..Looking at the truck pics I'd say it probably had a 292 6 cylinder...has fender badges...I bet they said 292.

67sss · 04-15-2006, 01:42 PM

what's with the gas cap/plug?

Longhorn Man · 04-15-2006, 01:52 PM

67, that is a factory gas tank delete plate.
If you look at this pic, you'll see another one mounted all goofy.

Longhorn Man · 04-15-2006, 01:55 PM

Rod... good eye, the motor mounts are staggared, so you are absolutly right.
