1973 crew cab c30
I recently bought a 1976 c30 crew cab 454 with a 4 speed with factory air conditioning. Its just a parts truck but the cab doesn't have hardly any rust or dents, the rest of the truck is just about junk. i'm not too familiar with this style of truck, i have been told that factory air conditioning cabs are hard to find. I hate to just crush a good part if it is usable or rare. My question is, is a factory crew cab 1976 with factory air rare or not? Thanks

AC cabs were common. I have a 78 Crew Cab with A/C. A buddy of mine has a 79 with A/C. So they are out there.

Don't crush it. Put it in the classified section on this website

I'm not planning to crush it anytime soon. I put it on craigslist and had a couple of hits on it. I'll just give it a week or two and see what happens. Metal isn't bringing a lot and I'm just trying to clean up right now.

Big block with 4.56 gears = lots of gas

Nobody that buys a classic CC dually expects good mpg's. EFI engine swaps are possible as well. Still cheaper vs. buying a 'new' CC dually if it's not a daily driver.

Re: 1973 crew cab c30
The truck honestly doesn't look all that bad, was it rusting out?
BTW I hope you did not trash the hood or the grill. All so in case you don't know that grill is not a 76 but an older one. must be why you where told it was a 1973.

Not a 73-74 grill for sure & I didn't read anywhere it's mentioned that someone told him "it was a 1973".

Re: 1973 crew cab c30
The grill is broke and the hood has a decent sized dent in the front not visable in the picture. The guy I got it from told me it was a 1973 but I ran the VIN and came back 1976. I didn't need a title cause I was just needing it for parts. It could be saved but would need a lot of work. The interior is beat to death and the front clip is rusty and 3 out of the 4 doors are junk. The bed sides aren't that bad but the floor does have holes. I got this truck and a 66 step side and a 62 snub nose c60. The guy has several other trucks so I might be picking up another truck or two or three or.....

Sorry for the confusion! As for the grill in the picture it has the engine size numbers on it and I thought that 1975 was last year for the engine numbers in the grill and that 76 and onward did not have it. If I am mistaken, sorry for the false info. I am still learning!!!!

Re: 1973 crew cab c30
Ok. Looking at the pic again I think I see the dent in the hood now.
I just don't like seeing good parts go to scrap. LOL
