60-61 Heavy Duty 1 Ton???
I looked at a 60-61 Chevy 1 ton today, sorry no pics. This truck caught my eye as how it set up, I thought it was a 4x4. Got into the weeds looking at it it has a leaf spring front and rear, large 5 bolt 17' bud wheels on front and back. The front spring mounts look factory, has a big stack of rear springs, plus massive overloads. Any Ideas?

Re: 60-61 Heavy Duty 1 Ton???
That sounds more like a C40. Did the front fenders have the 'flared' openings?

Re: 60-61 Heavy Duty 1 Ton???
Brought it home today, no fender flares, I wish. The cab and fenders have been replaced with a 1/2 ton flat floorboard cab. Took pictures, I am in a middle of a move, can't find my camera cable, Will post pics when find cable. Truck sets up like a Bulldog. I am thinking a HD 1 ton 4x4 build. Does a C 40 use regular fenders or are they in the style of a C 60?

The one C40 I have seen had the fenders similar to a C60.

Re: 60-61 Heavy Duty 1 Ton???
Hmmm that's interesting. I wonder if it is original, or if someone built it that way?

Re: 60-61 Heavy Duty 1 Ton???
Has the frame been bobbed or is the rear axle just sitting farther back than normal? 2nd to last pic makes it look really short for some reason. Nice find.

Re: 60-61 Heavy Duty 1 Ton???
The frame has been bobbed at the back. The cab has a flat floorboard and Apachce 10 embelms, not original cab. I notice in the truck brochure they showed the bus as a c40 with regular front sheetmetal.

Re: 60-61 Heavy Duty 1 Ton???
Looks like it may have been a 4x4 and someone turned it into a two wheeler.
Front wheel bolt pattern looks wrong, should be an eight lug, looks like 5 or6. Maybe I'm wrong. |

Re: 60-61 Heavy Duty 1 Ton???
We had a 46 and 52 Chevy trucks on the farm years ago, large stake trucks.
Both trucks used the 10/5 bolt combo, same wheels on both ends. The idea was you are carrying more weight in the rear. A friend just sold a 57 stake truck with the same wheel combo. The large truck through the 60s did the same thing. I think they started with the 50 series trucks. |
