    I spent one whole summer driving a truck like that working for a custom harvest crew when I was 16. It was a 1971 it had a 350 in it and a 4 speed two speed rear end. That was 1978.

    Dave, glad you guys got it running. A few issues I see. First and biggest problem is the year built, definitely not a 74. That cab style was built from 67 thru 72, in 68 the side marker lights were added to the side of the fenders. We have had basically every year of that series at one time or other. If the title says 74, it's bogus. The latest it could be would be a 72, need to check the id tag numbers closely. Depending on the actual year built, the engine is either a 327 or 350. That vac diaphragm on the carb that connects to the distributor is the rev limiter to prevent over revving the engine. The hoist needs a bit of oil added, it uses 20 wt engine oil, not hydraulic fluid. Make sure that the fill plug on the system has a vent plug, often those get lost and people use a regular pipe plug. The system has to be vented as it is a one way cylinder. Those series trucks were the best on the market for the time and a major step ahead over their past models. I still think they were a better cab than the next series that GM built. Wish I still had my 70 GMC pick up, I replaced it with a 79 back in the day, what a disapointment that one was. The main reason I switched to Ford!

      my FIL had a C40 with a 292 straight 6, 2 barrel. same body style. I don't remember the year. thing would climb a mountain with a load of corn. didn't the C60's have a 427

      Depending on what was ordered they could have anything from a 292 up to a 427. Most however had either a 350 or a 366. A few were special ordered with the 427, but they were an expensive item. Never found one with a diesel, maybe they were only on the 80 series and road tractors. I think the 350 only came on scene after 68, My 69 pick up came with a 350, so they were available then.@@dankreoger611

      @@dankreoger611 I believe it was mainly the dump truck models that came with the 427, because my little brother had a 70, and a 72 both had the 427 with the good ole two handed transmission, along with two speed differentials.
      I seem to remember they weren't but 10 yard dumps that we extended the sides up 6" below the cab protection that extended out over the cab to keep loaders from smashing the cabs down.
      Made it a whoppin 12 yards of pay load, but if it was the good black dirt of N Texas, and it was wet.
      He'd end up hanging in the air, because it was so sticky it wouldn't break loose the suction it had to the bottom, and sides of the bed.
      Unless you used the ole trick they used when they hauled asphalt, a good coating of diesel sprayed from a two gallon pump sprayer did the trick, and nothing stuck to the inside of the box.
      But I didn't mention that, so I don't know where that came from.
      That's what I know about anything bigger than a one ton.
      I'm like you I wish I never sold my 70 C10 long bed camper special, it originally came with a 307, 3 on the tree, 12 bolt positive traction.
      No ps, pb, a/c, absolutely no option whatsoever.
      Later I dropped 327 0.060 over, pop up pistons crane came ported double hump heads, with 202 valves factory manifold off a 302 with 850 cfm carb, 69 Z28 muncie M21 transmission, hayes super clutch, and two windows 75 mph cooling.
      Ran like the wind if you stood on it, but got 18 mpg if you behaved yourself.
      Never could find a set of the newer double hump heads with the accessory holes tapped into them, and they flowed better than the old ones did, because they were made for the 350 ss and z28 with bigger valves from 70 up to 75 I believe if memory works.
      Taught my ex how to drive a standard in it, and believe that's where our first two boys originated from too.
      Married 3 years before they were born, so y'all can erase that from your minds.
      Lol luckily she planned things better than I did back then.

    Q Jet, best carb ever invented, but to complicated for most to mess with. I know a guy that could rebuild the carbs on our C70 427's in the dark , one hand tied behind his back. But hes retired now.

    Chris was working so fast he had to wear his hat backwards to keep the wind he was creating from blowing it off. Out there in Kansas it wouldn't be seen until it got caught by a fence near Atchison.
    Just like all young fellers; once he got his nut off he forgot what he needed to do, lol.

    I get that from a business profitability standpoint it doesn't make sense to change it, but carburetors don't belong on vehicles anymore. Modern gas has so many additives that it eats carbs. I have a 1953 Studebaker truck and 1977 Jeep Wagoneer. Both are now EFI. If you want to actually be able to use a vehicle EFI is the way to go. If the budget doesn't allow that, install a fuel shutoff and run it dry after every use so gas doesn't sit in the carb and destroy it

We had a 63 Ford Tandem, had a load of hay, fuel pump went about a mile from home, proper the hood open, took a 5 gallon can, hung it from the open hood, run a gas line to the carb, syphoned it, started, took it home that way! gravity fed!! Choke it! needs hydro. fluid- cracked windshield
