Ryan Weaver Wanted 2 tone C20/K20 tow vehicle for car hauler

[67since67]

Not sure it's what you are looking for, but an old friend who lives in Western CO has a '71 or '72 C-10 Longhorn (bed is is extended 6", 8'6" total) also known as a Camper Special he's talked about selling but never gets around to it. Been a while since I've seen it, Factory 402/TH400, I believe A/C and tach. Typical Western slope of the Rockies patina. I believe it's blue white a white top. Will likely need some mechanical refreshing.

I can ask for info if you are interested. - Bill W

Sounds like an amazing truck!!

If it is a camper special and a longhorn 8.5’ bed it would be a C20 3/4T

Let me know if you need someone to put some eyes on it, I'm only about 25 miles away from it.

That is a nice truck and the real bidders must be sand bagging right now. It would be nice if you could get it at a decent price.

The first thing you'll want to do is install an overdrive trans. A shop I worked at in the 80's had one just like it for a shop truck and it didn't mater if it was empty or overloaded, it got 8 mpg with that carbureted 454 and 4.10 gears.

Looks like a great truck.

You could have shut it off and coasted and would have gotten 8 mpg with that configuration.

I have a 4L80E swap calculated into my tow vehicle spread sheet. Tracker1 owns a Mr Transmission so I would drop it off for modernization.
Same rations as a TH400, plus 0.75 fourth!!!
