I’ve got a 1984 Chevy C30 for sale, has a elec. over hyd. 10’x7’x12” dump bed. It’s a auto & 6.2 diesel , has under 95K miles and are that low because it spent its first 20 years being a ambulance for the city of Dayton.
Some of the bad and good stuff :
Like I said , it was an ambulance so it has no options other than tilt column and auto trans...no power options or radio. Has a bad $99 paint-job to hide the old paint scheme and the rockers are getting soft.
The city removed the medical box and made a mess of the wiring..most everything works as it should but it’s ugly. Shocks are worn but it’s a old wood truck and it just didn’t matter.
The heat and AC where also butchered and don’t work..I never cared about ether so I never looked into making it operable...they even removed the compressor.
It’s been dependable as a hammer till last week when the trans started slipping...I’m assuming the TH400 needs rebuilt...still drives but slips in 3rd gear and reverse, common TH400 problem.
It’s a wood lot truck that I’m constantly fight to keep mice out of so it smells like farm truck inside.
Has a good running J-code non-civilian 6.2 diesel that makes better HP than the version available to the public. Gets pretty damn good MPG unloaded and 7-9 with 5K in it.
The bed has White Oak top boards that make for 36” tall sides and other than the worn paint the bed is rock solid. Never used to haul concrete so the floor isn’t beat to death. Stops and steers pretty good.
I’m pretty firm on $2,500 because the bed is worth that..rebuild the trans and go or swap the dump box to a newer and nicer cab & chassis truck. If anybody’s interested I can post pictures of whatever you want. Its a good old truck but my body’s forcing me out of firewood’n and it needs to go.
