Very helpful for comparing how these trucks were set-up. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2006 Posts: 21 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2006 Posts: 21 | I have a 46' GMC 300. Can you link a picture of yours? Very helpful for comparing how these trucks were set-up. Yep I will. it will take a couple days to get a digital picture and post it This truck is too big for me to drive on the street so I want to figure out how to get a shorter wheel base and lighter duty. I am thinking there isnt much I am going to keep to get it to resemble a pick up.....

GM did make the CC300 series with a pick-up body. They are very rare and I'm told Jim Carter has one. The rear fenders are special size for the dual wheels and the running board from the bed to cab is a one of kind. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 413 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 413 | I have a 46' GMC 300.

I am thinking there isnt much I am going to keep to get it to resemble a pick up..... I guess you wouldnt be comfortable driving mine on the street then, I have a CC404 2.5 ton. It's long, the wheelbase is 177 1/4. The frame measures 21 ft. from end to end. I think the easiest way to get shorter wheelbase & lighter duty, is to go with a 1/2 ton Chevy. I kind of felt the same way you do when I first got my truck, but as I got further into it I decided to keep it original. I just think the bigger trucks should be kept big. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 430 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 430 | I drive my 46 2-ton in town and don't have any issues. It is just a foot longer than my 2011 and that is only due to someone extending the frame behind the rear wheels a few feet. It does have a little longer wheel base, but it really isn't bad. I have had about 6500 lbs. on the back also. It road nice, but made me realize the engine is really tired.
Keep it big, once you drive it and get used to it, it's not that bad.... Of course unless your used to driving a smart car all the time. If that's the case I will come and take this truck off your hands! | | | | | Joined: Aug 2006 Posts: 21 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2006 Posts: 21 | Any chance your truck came with a GM factory flat bed that you want to sell?

I won't sell it but I would happily trade it....

Just looking for ideas. I am going to haul it home over the holidays. I am thinking that selling my 62 Biscayne 409 car might speed this whole process along......
