1967 C30 Napco 4x4 questions
I'm a newbie to the Napco conversions so any information is appreciated. Just found a 67 c30 Napco truck for sale not too far from me it's a 4 speed with 292 and power brakes has snowplow and dump bed still being used for winter. Has typical illinois rust but is solid. 4wd motor transmission are all good. Is there much desire for these? And how rare are they? Thank you for any guidance

Re: 1967 C30 Napco 4x4 questions
What kind of price are they wanting they are a pretty rare item. It is not something you might drive everyday, I think it is probably geared pretty low.

Re: 1967 C30 Napco 4x4 questions
Super rare and desirable do not always go hand in hand. With a 292 and 5.13 gears it isn't a "driver" in any sense. Nor is it the ideal tow truck chassis the current seller was thinking. If you want a pet or an around the ranch GP dump and plow then have at it.
This truck has been for sale for years off and on. Like Crewcab59 said, right at a year ago was the last time I looked into it for someone.

Re: 1967 C30 Napco 4x4 questions
Are you considering flipping it? If it's for you, the only question should be is do you have much desire for it? I love it. It's cream of the crop material in my book. I wanted to buy that last year (fall '14) when it was on Craigslist.

Re: 1967 C30 Napco 4x4 questions
Way to go! I'm happy for you
![]() Let me be the first to say, "If and when you should decide to sell this truck, I would appreciate it if you would please offer it to me first". I know, damn claim jumpers. Just had to make that official. I already know the reply, "Not sure you'll live that long, K" ![]()

Re: 1967 C30 Napco 4x4 questions
the kid an i tried planing out the trip out there when this truck was first posted. neither of us are that adventureous to do it.
i saved the pick and used it as my background for a few months. i wander how many of these napcos were built in 67....in other words there "could be a chance to find one closer to home" ![]() that is one serious truck i'm glad the new owner is a member here to share it with us. it seems in the past few years as these trucks have exploded in popularity the napcos are really being found and scooped up just glad they are being saved. pretty sure i saw a early one on cl a few months ago with a swivel frame i think in az. there is still a 58-9 in a shed just behind my house that hasnt been out in about 3 years.

Re: 1967 C30 Napco 4x4 questions
I tried yesterday as well to buy this trick...This guy was a super jerk..You must have called at a better time..I asked several questions he did not have answers for..He insisted several times that he would not do anything for free and that he was so geographic challenged that he did not know where Minneapolis,MN was..Good luck with the truck...

Re: 1967 C30 Napco 4x4 questions
I think everyone is sick of jerks and scams on cl that they are on edge. I'm getting the same way, you have to put up with 5 jerks to get 1 serious person.[/QUOTE]
![]() but i'm gonna its more like 9 to 1 with the scammers involved.

Re: 1967 C30 Napco 4x4 questions
It hard because I had big plans to chop it, bag it with a big C notch, go to 1/2 ton five lug, chop the frame to swb length with fake patina. Would have been cool!!! Lol ,this will give us something fun to talk about. Peace !!!

Re: 1967 C30 Napco 4x4 questions
OMG, grumpy old man said he was out because the op had thought about putting a longhorn bed on the truck. DOO if you were gonna CHOP, CUT, C-NOTCH, BAG, this truck then i am happy as hell you didn't get it. I like a lower stance on our trucks but to ruin a NAPCO by doing this makes me sick to my stomach!!!
To each their own i guess. |
