Life was a lot simpler back then when ordering a new truck.There just wasn't a whole lot of options to choose from.   [Reply]  [Send Email]

I just replaced the rusted out service body with a much better one. I haven't got my compressor and rack back on yet. The duals gave the truck an additional 1,000 pounds GVW. Mine is 9,000 pounds GVW.   [Reply]  [No Email]

It was not till 1973 model yr did GM put a Dually pu bed on the C30. The pre1973, 72 -> back, "Longhorn 30" was a regular nondually pu bed that had an additional 12ins. in length. There is a website or two devoted to this particular section of GM trucks. If I have left anytine out, Someone jumpin and correct me, I will yeild. Hope this helps.
