Dog Gone It.... And I was just in Roanoke last week!
Clifton Forge would have been a hop skip and a jump.

A "Great Looking Temptation" for this Area!!

Let's see, I have to pick up the wife from the airport in Charlotte at 9 PM. I could sneak over to the bank, get up to Clifton forge in 2 hours and have it home by 6. That still gives me 3 hours to get to Charlotte. After a 24 hour trip in airplanes and airports back from New Zealand seeing her sick 90 year old Mother, I should be in divorce court by Wednesday!
Seriously, that truck hats a lot of potential, someone will be lucky to get it at that price.

im thinking that's a good start to a nice dually project.

chevy6guy9 · 12-13-2014, 07:50 PM

Does this have the old x frame or is it the same as a 64-66 with coil spring front or is it torsion?

pretty sure it has torsion bars.not sure about X frame willing to bet its not.

Gargoyle · 12-13-2014, 11:56 PM

Torsion bar, no x frame. Wondering what condition the frame is in given how much salt VA uses in winter.

here is a pic:

**Captainfab** · 12-14-2014, 12:33 AM

I saw a '60-'62 C30 that had coil springs up front. It was supposed to be original too.

jonzcustomshop · 12-14-2014, 01:54 AM

my 61gmc 4000 had an x frame, and a torsionbar front suspension.

67&72 · 12-14-2014, 03:52 AM

That is a good deal and still has the factory 18" wheels on it. I have a 61 one ton and a 64 one ton duallys and the 61 has the torsion bars. I was actually working on both of them today.

chevy6guy9 · 12-14-2014, 07:52 AM

Wish the wife would t kill me to bring home another one or I would be headed there today to get it. She thinks 2 is enough.

TJ's Chevy · 12-14-2014, 12:45 PM

Looks cool, Wish I could buy it...had some fun plans in mind for one of those. lol

Plastic Mechanic · 12-17-2014, 06:17 PM

I saw the ad on craigslist on Saturday, and drove 3 hrs to take a look on Sunday. It is, without a doubt, the most solid untouched cab I've seen in this generation.

I had my mind set on a half ton, but I could not let this one go.

Not the setup i wanted as a driver, with the 5.14 rear, and the 235 with a 3 speed, but i can work through all of that. 45000 original miles.

She's a looker with that quad headlight front end!

I'll post pics when i get it home.

bullwinkle3331 · 12-17-2014, 06:26 PM

Congrats Plastic Mechanic!
Glad to hear that someone here was able to get that one...
A "Great Find" on the East Coast.

Let me know if I can help.

chevy6guy9 · 12-17-2014, 06:51 PM

Well damn..... I was going to call on it tonight and get it sat...day late..��

63 & 64 Bowties · 12-18-2014, 12:08 AM

That's great! Glad someone here got it.
