Sweet ole K30 dump truck... I need one of those. It would come in handy for firewood, gravel and other things. Problem is the K30 dually's have become a rare bird in the Southeast. And if one is found in decent condition, it has a high price tag. Might be easier to convert one of my CUCV trucks to a dually with a dump bed...
No I sold it to purchase an F-450 dump truck that was no where near as cool, but did tow and haul more than the old K30. You are correct, they are hard to find these days, and demand quite the premium too!
Thanks! Usually just stained with left over material from other projects or sometimes used motor oil. I'll do the trailer decking with it too and it gives everything a clean look.
looked clean till i saw the holes/patches in the frame by the overload hanger on driver side. Still an awesome truck. Ive watched this vid a few times. Honestly I dont think theres many K30 dump trucks that don't have that issue.. theyve all been used so hard. Most the ones I see listed have been redone atleast 1-3 times
When I bought the truck it was in pretty rough shape frame wise. Road salt and other junk sits on top of the mounts where they meet the frame and rot it out. The dump box was removed. The spring perches and hangers were all replaced by a frame shop using GM manuals for reference, along with whatever else was bad. New mounts were made for the bed and it was bolted on properly, as it was welded on when I bought it. Thanks for watching!
Trucks like that are so useful on homesteads small farms and for contractors. Lots of useful things it can do for you.
Almost anyone who's manually unloaded material from a pickup truck would agree with you.

Not bad for a truck that age It would be a nice vehicle for grounds keeper of a cemetery.
Hope you still own it? Hard to find and a old school classic
