Interesting truck, but strange it only has a 4-Speed Trans. Between that and the Lighter Front Axle, I would say that it probably was originally a Single Axle, but still a cool truck in nice condition to boot.

From this ad.

Bill (anyone), is it me or is that second axle a tag axle? Are you identifying the front axle capacity by the Dayton wheel as opposed to the 10-lug budd I've seen from time to time?

[Okiefromwatonga]

One thing I just noticed is it only has one vent on the hood, when did they go dual vent?

[68 CRACKERBOX]

I'm sure it is a tag axle , I think hyd. brakes ,but not sure. I would also say it has a 366 with only one air vent, 427 had two, plus emblems that said 427

I would say that the Rear is a Tag, but a picture of the original GVW Plate and/or SPID Label would tell us for sure.

On the Front Axle, no not a Dayton to a 10-Lug Budd, but in this case, I'm going by the Narrow Fenders.

The 4-Speed Trans, along with the Fenders and the possible Tag is what is making me question how it was originally.

...Just shootin the breeze here, lol.

My '69 has a 427 with dual vents... .It also has wider fenders and is spec'd pretty heavy....you can see it herehttps://flic.kr/s/aHsjtoJn2b

[Okiefromwatonga]

Ok so L6 and Small blocks got no vents, 366 got one and 427 have two?
I know where a single axle 427 tractor is. I might have have to snag the truck and use some its parts

Good example of a Wide Fender truck.

[esbstuff]

The inside pic shows a 2 speed spliter. That would make it a single axle truck w/a tag and in this case the rear is the tag axle. M&S tires on the front axle and steers tires on the rear axle would backup this theory.

A 427 truck will have 2 vents w/a 427 emblem towards the front of the vents. The passenger side vent was functional with the air cleaner getting air there.

The pictures are of a 71 Custom C/60, 427, 5+4, twin screw truck w/air brakes. Other than a repaint and aux holes in the bumper for steps, this was a completely stock truck including the wheelbase. Note the aux driverside fuel tank. With both tanks, you could actually use the truck 8-9 hrs and not stop for fuel.

Sorry for the crappy pictures, but these are scans of Polaroids take in 1985-6 time frame. It was still working daily at that time.

Nice heavy truck.

What was the GVW?

Here's a winner, couple towns over from me!

http://worcester.craigslist.org/cto/5751768570.html

1969 gmc dump truck hi and low range 6 wheels heavy gvw ,left over from estate can show tomorrow between 8-11 am in clinton ma. lots left over in a retired construction company asking 4500bo
very nice no rust or rot floors and frame very solid no rot or rust must see been in barn for many years.
call......

[C10 - C90 Bill]

Good example of a heavy lighter duty truck, although I would like to know what the GVW actually is.

If the Directional Lights are original, the truck is probably a '70.

[Robert1970C20rstbukt]

Neat trucks! If the dust cap on the front hubs is flat, the axle is either a 5,000 or 7,000lb. If the cap sticks out to clear the larger spindle, the axle is a 9,000lb. or greater. The '69 GMC manual I have shows several different ones, up to 16,000lb. capacity. I'll bet that blue truck had the rear axle added later on. There were two 1971 C60's at the junkyard a few years ago that had tag axles and springs added to them. I remember the glovebox door on one still had the sticker and it had a 7,000lb front axle, both had Budd wheels though.

Interesting truck.

They are calling it a "10-Speed", and technically it is, but it looks like a 5-Speed with an Electric 2-Speed Rear.

Dunno, still learning the med and heavy duty lingo. All i know is I want to build a 4-53/71T or 6v53T powered retro rig to pull a 25ish foot goose neck to haul cars. Have loved the 2 stroke detroits since i started operating them in the military

Once you get bit by the Detroit "bug" it's hard to get over it, lol.

I'll be running my 2-53 Monday ('59 John Deere).

Strange that it has 6-Lugs front and rear.

It's usually 5-10 or 10.
