Thanks Guys. I'm gonna have some parts that I need to get rid of in the next couple months. 1985 C30 rolling chassis w/ manual trans. No motor or body. Gonna have a carbureated 305 motor only. Billet grill and some other miscellaneous parts. Let me know if your interested in anything. It will be a couple months but ill keep ya in mind.

Is the C30 a Single or Dual Rear Wheel? Cab and Chassis or Pick Up Box?


Be sure to be participating in the forum, so when the time comes to list here in the classifieds you've met the 50 minimum post requirement. Just thought I'd let you know about that now, so you're not surprised with it later. It's more for security reasons than participation, but it kind of goes with 1 in the same.

It is a dually. As of now I believe it will just be rolling frame no bed no cab. The bed may go with it however. I will make sure to keep that point in mind as well. Thanks for the advice.

It could have a cab on it. But it's not a very pretty one.

So it's a dually pick up truck frame. Be sure to specify that since the Cab & Chassis frames are different, and they have different rear axles too.

That appears to be a pretty solid complete truck. And you're parting it out?

 

[John81287]

If I knew there was a better way I would. I'm having a real hard time with it myself. But I need the whole cab. The truck I bought is in pretty rough shape. Alot rougher than I originally realized. So I am in need of a complete cab and wiring harness. Any ideas?

 

[John81287]

I also really want the 454 out of it.

If that's the case then why not build the C30 and scrap the other one that is worse shape??? Cool C30 btw!!! I like the regular cab duallies

I'm really wanting to keep the 4x4 an the. Automatic transmission. Do we think it would be easier to swap the drive shafts in to make it 4x4 and tcase and trans?

 

[John81287]

Sad thing is j paid more for my 87 that's in worse shape than my 85 c30

I'd have to say you're probably on the right track. I didn't realize you needed a cab too. But yep, I'd want to keep the 4x4 too, so it sounds as if you on the right track. The 454 should bolt up to your Th400 trans too in the 87. You will need to get a different flexplate though. The 454 is an externally balanced motor so be sure to get one specific to the 454. I can't imagine they cost all that much.

The C30 being a manual trans truck, should already have the high hump in it. Not sure if it's deep enough and goes all the way to the seat for space for your Tcase though.

Distance always kills deals. I'd just about be willing to trade my 86 C20 with 454,Th400 for your 1 ton then you'd already be set up for Automatic, still have the 454 and blah blah blah. But I don't think I really need a 1 ton anyway.

If that C30 frame and bed are in good shape, I'd see no reason you couldn't get a buy for it. Someone with a rough shape C10 or C20 could transfer their parts and convert to a 1 ton dually chassis failry easy.
