Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
Found this C90 on the way to a cemetery the other day...
It has an old 'For Sale' sign in the windshield. Anything written long ago has since faded. I don't know anything about these bigger trucks. Wonder what year model it is?

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
Interesting truck. It is at least a 1970 or newer, but probably not any newer than a '74. It has a 10-Speed Road Ranger trans and most likely has a 6-71 Detroit Diesel in it.
Strange it has a low GVW though at 29,900. It probably only has a 7000 Front Axel, which was the minimum. Wondering what they would take for just the tractor? Bill

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
I'd like to have the tractor and trailer.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
What a shame.All tose years hauling grain and it finally lays a load over. Hopefully not hurt too bad,though.
Mmmm,I dunno. Haul trucks? Or,how about vintage equipment? Something cool about a big Chevrolet truck instead of a GMC. You think of GMC more than Chevy.

Look good with an old restored tractor on there, then an old GMC on the back.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
Thought I would get this thread going again. Here is one of the best examples of a 10-Speed Road Ranger Trans that I've seen.
Now the truck itself is not GM, but the Engine is. I posted this for the Trans, but at the same time, enjoy the sound of another 6-71 Detroit: Bill

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
I just sold mine today. I hated to see it go, but I just bought it this year and have way to many projects to do anything with it. 1972 C-40 original 350 4 speed trans. The last picks are when it was on the trailer getting ready to leave.

Junksaver, that would had been a nice truck for a Wrecker. Maybe someday you will get another.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
Nice set of trucks. I especially like the '69 9500 and the '69 MH9500.
The Wrecker is mis-labled though. If the Sheet Metal is all original, the truck is either a '66 or a '67. Also, it may have a 6-71 now, but by the Emblem (missing) on the side of the hood, it looks like it was either a V-6 Gas or a Toro-Flow Diesel. I believe the 8500, which is a pretty rare truck, also has a 2-piece Windshield like the 9500 has. Bill

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
If I could have kept the truck that was one of my possible plans. I have a 72 C-30 wrecker with a holmes 480 bed that I picked up earlier this year. I know it's not the same, but it is all complete so I decided to keep that one. Maybe some day I can get another big Chevy.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
There is nothing wrong with a 1-Ton. I have 2 of them. A '68 C-30 Flatbed Dump and a '72 C-30 Flatbed. I also have a Holmes 440. I may just put the Wrecker Body on the '72 someday.

I would have liked to known that C/40 was for sale. One is on my bucket list. Welcome to the C/30 wrecker club

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
Here is a 1972 C60, it's a yard find. I am negotiating with the original owner to buy it. It has a 427 with 5 and 4 transmissions and air brakes.
