OK I added a cool (to me) truck to my chevy gmc collection today. Paid $2500 total , tax, plates everything.

88 C60 tiltbed. Runs good, takes a while to get up to speed since it has the small- big block 366 in it but it went 65 down the highway . 5 speed, 23,900 gvw. Has 24.5 in wheels

Its in pretty good shape. Has a fresh insp sticker on it and new registration also. Showing 118k. New water pump.

Im thinking about putting a 454 TBI injection setup on it, I have all the parts except the harness which I can get cheap enough , or may just rebuild the carb. Will also do a tune up. Back tires are very good, left front is new, right front is crappy and im going to replace it.

The tilt bed works, I just need to put new ends on the control cables at the cab end, we had to cut the rusted handles off so we could pull the cables with pliers.
The seat needs work. Gas guage no worky.
I drove it 50 miles home, it was south of houston.

Anybody know what the lug nut torque is on these big wheels?

to tight if you ask me.
everytime I get it back from the dealer I have to use a breaker bar to get them loose.

Cool truck davo!

I had a C50 with a 350 and a two speed axle years ago. It was used hard and was pretty much bullet proof but not very fast. :D

I think the torque on the lugs was like 400 ft-lbs but don't remember for sure. Used the good and tight method. ;)

Cool thanks, I mis spoke on the wheel size. It actually has 22.5 wheels on it.

tires are 245-75-22.5
