Craigslist find gives me bad ideas.

THis 1980 c-65 is for sale locally for 800 bucks. Cracked head or popped head gasket. All I see is one bad Azz 4x4 swap on 2.5 ton Rockwell axles. I hate my brain sometimes

if you do go look at it make sure its not air brake . . . . my dump truck is air brake and needs a motor . long story but hard to find motor . if it was hydro brakes it would be done by now.

It has an 8.2 in it and I am seriously considering it.

o.m.g. run away from using or saving that motor .

not a good design and or history .

I would toss it for a tall 427 a friend has sitting.... It's just a fun looking project for cheap.

I'd hold out for one with a Detroit...just for the exhaust note!....
