1982 Chevy Duallie

[BowtieFanatic]

Name is Sean and Im the proud owner of my 1982 Chevy C30 dually. This is a 1-ton truck with a 350sbc engine, 4spd granny gear, 2wd, with 154k miles. Mechanically sound truck with no issues and a great body. Cab corners have very minor rust however I have cab corners I am putting in tomorrow. I was offering a trade for a 73 K5 blazer I had and guy called me with this truck and offered a even swap. I was surprised to find it in this good of shape. I am however looking for a factory bed for it. May consider putting a wrecker bed on it. Only time will tell.

Nice ride.  Make sure your wheel base is 131.5 before you go getting a bed.  If it is a cab and chassis the bed will not bolt right up without making some new holes

Very nice! what are your plans for the flatbed on there now?

[BowtieFanatic]

Well turns out this was a cab and chassis truck factory and were no factory bed bolt holes ( I should have known that since it was a VDOT state truck). Any how it now has a factory bed and I sold the flatbed. Truck looks better with the factory bed. I am However planning on converting to a 4wd truck so I am looking for a 4wd axle and a 4spd granny trans with transfer case from a 1980-1982 Chevy C30 duallie to convert it. I also added some bumper guides from a 1989 Peterbilt 379 Long nose as well. I am planning on painting truck and adding a LUND visor. Might even add a custom front bumper with a brush guard if I cant find a factory made guard. Who has stuff to fit it that they want to sell? Thanks.

FUTURE PLAN for winter: Drop a 4BT Cummins Turbo Diesel in it.

Did you have to shorten the frame in back?  I seem to have a similar issue with my 1984 C30.  I haven't measured the wheel base yet but I suspect it is longer than 131.5 inches and will wind up with the same gap between the bed and cab... Bummer...
