Vehicle Description
This 1966 Chevrolet C30 Dually is a cool dump bed hauler. It has
led a genuine industrial life, but as you dig into the details,
you'll see that all your favorite pieces are newer and/or have been
given solid investments. So if you're looking for genuine wood on
the outside and cold-blowing A/C on the inside, this is your
comfortable and interesting classic.
Trucks like this are a true rarity on the classic market. After
all, a C30 was built to be used up in a life of industrial duty,
and so rarely do they get the proper care. We're told it was a
warehouse truck in the south for many years before being sold into
private hands and being fully restored. The factory-correct
Glenwood Green has a glossy respray. This shows off the kind of
clean body panels you'd never expect on an industrial machine. And
the way the white roof goes with the bumper and grille gives this
an attractive two-tone. But what really grabs your attention is all
the wood on the bed. This is a true stake-side truck. So you can
choose to showcase all that lumber, or you can have a flatbed where
the diamond plate steel floor is quite attractive, too. The dump
bed feature is a newer addition, which means newer mechanicals and
added functionality. In fact, this is full of commercial-grade
useful features. There are large towing mirrors, a rear hitch,
spotlights for the rear, and large side toolboxes. Plus, you have
8-lug Alcoa-style wheels with the dully set in the rear. So it's
not only fun for the car shows, but there's a true earned respect
and a capability that will lend your business credibility just by
putting its name on these doors.
The interior has a clean look of proper care. The two-tone seat,
loop carpeting, and overall clean style are elements you'd want on
any classic. And cold-blowing air conditioning is another one of
those touches that keeps this one impressively useful and
comfortable. You have the right vintage pieces, like the dual-spoke
steering wheel and tall shifter. And additions like the power
steering, auxiliary readouts, and large tach make this practical,
too.
Under the hood is a sharp-looking 350 cubic-inch V8. There's plenty
of polish to give it some style, but what you'll really like is
this motor's substance. It has added power from a Holley
four-barrel carburetor, an Edelbrock Performer EPS intake, and
shorty headers feeding the dual exhaust. And there are good
supporting components, too, like a newer radiator, a newer
proportioning valve on the brakes, and an upgraded distributor. The
V8 fires up and runs with the feeling of a strong powerhouse. This
is mated to a four-speed manual transmission with a useful low
granny first gear to develop some serious low-end torque that knows
how to move heavy loads. It's all part of the reminder that while
this one looks like a cool classic, it's also still quite a useful
industrial machine.
No matter if you're using this as a real hauler or just a rolling
billboard, this is the ideal total package for those who like
getting industrial-sized attention in a classic. Call today!!!
