Not a big bolt owner, yet, but I am looking to buy a C40, C50, or C60 to convert into a pickup truck (looking at mid 60s to '72). I am hearing some people talk the fact that the top speed is only around 55 or so mph because of the gearing. Is this true?
Seems like I drove a 2 or 2 and a half ton flatbed many years ago for a landscape company and I don't remember it being geared so low.

Can anyone give me more info on this?

Thanks.
