Great looking truck. One heck of a flatbed you have there.

Re: my new truck

Welcome to the forum

That's a nice C30. My '66 C30 is white also, but no where near that nice.

Converting a C30 to PS and disc brakes is really no different than converting a C10 or C20. You will just need to find '71-'87 C30 parts for a donor.

Re: my new truck

Nice find. Nothing like a work truck that has been worked, but not worked over.

Re: my new truck

yeah it will be like xmas morning. the truck will be at my house at 7 am, i feel i got it for a great price and i look forrward to holding on to it for many years, and so what if it does not get the MPG as the new trucks, but then again im not starting off at 45K to get better MPG and i will be driving a cool truck.

i figure i could put about 2K into this and have a great driver.
i will try to take many pictures and keep up to date on my progress.
