Title: RE: Chassis cabs, c-30's, etc.
Post by: Stewart G Griffin on February 27, 2009, 07:49:56 am
i need to know as much as possible concerning chassis cabs and/or c-30 chassis cabs.  Specifically concerning wheelbase, but really any information at all would be good.

This is for a new project which i'll describe soon.................or maybe i won't.

Cab and chassis C or K 30 rear axles are narrower. As far as wheel base the shortest one available is a little bit longer than a long wheel base pickup. The frame how ever in my experiences is the same length. There were several longer wheel base versions available, the frames on them were longer.

Here's a link to most of the sales brochures for 10-30 pickups during the years 1969-1991 where you'll find the wheelbase lengths for the 1-tons, at least.

You don't have to worry about that as i:

1) don't like stepsides---i think they are too "countryish,"  old fashioned, and make no sense to me.  i'm a city dweller, thank you very much.

2) i will be sticking with the single cab.


Concerning the chassis-cabs, i noticed after looking at the brochures, that there is/was a 160 inch WB model available, which is cool.  This gives me 84" of distance between the cab and rear axle.   Basically, i need the maxium space available between the back of the cab and the rear axle----you can probably guess what i'm trying to do here.

At any rate, i need the maxium space/distance between the back of the cab and the rear axle as possible.

Super-stretched bed?  If that's the case, it sounds like a cool idea!
