Raji ◊ 2016-04-15 12:29	Seems like a heavy configuration, i guess C-30 with a 1971-72 grille.
Ans ◊ 2016-04-15 13:30	Well it is a definitely a 1971/72 model, and it does resemble a heavier duty model, I agree there.
rjluna2 ◊ 2016-04-15 18:22	Since I can't see the rear view mirror and the grille detail clearly, I would go for 1971/72 Chevrolet C-Series since there was such C-30 and C-40 weight class sold at that time.

You're certainly confusing with the 1960-62 C-40, which has indeed the light-duty cab. The 1½-ton model of the 1967-72 generation was part of the medium-duty truck line. Only 2 stakes were available within the 1967-72 Chevrolet light-duty truck line: (Excerpt from the 1967 brochure) Both models could have dual rear wheels, but due to the height of its stake racks and the shape of its wheel rims (see night cub's thumbs), the truck of the main screenshot can't be nothing else than a C-30, which implies a CS/CE31009 model code. -- Last edit: 2016-04-17 03:28:11
rjluna2 ◊ 2016-04-18 00:45	Here is the reference I found in the George H. Dammann book on '75 years of Chevrolet', page 401 containing the caption on 1972 Chevrolet C-30 Stake platform: Quote The only Chevrolet-supplied body available in the C-40 range was the platform stake bodies, and even these had to be ordered as an optional piece of equipment when buying the basic chassis/cab unit. The bodies were priced at $425 for the 9-foot model for the 125.5-inch wheelbase chassis, and $487 for the 12 foot model used on the 149.5-inch wheelbase chassis. The chassis/cab units themselves were priced at $3,875 and $3,910. Also in the C-40 Series was a 138.5 inch and a 167.5-inch wheelbase chassis/cab unit, but neither of these could be fitted with the factory platform stake body shown here. The C-40 Series was the largest rated Chevrolet truck to use the light truck sheetmetal and grille.
eLMeR ◊ 2016-04-20 01:42	@ rjluna2: Clearly another error in your reference book, as: (1971 & 1972 Chevrolet C-40 to C-60 brochure covers) As you can see, the C-40 model name was used for a model which has the medium-duty cab. The mentioned wheelbase and bed lengths are indeed the ones of the "big" C-Series (see the link to the 1967 medium-duty brochure in my previous comment), but the 1967-72 C-40 never used the light-duty cab (unlike the 1960-62 model, as already said). -- Last edit: 2016-04-20 01:44:43
rjluna2 ◊ 2016-04-20 02:30	@eLMeR: What the author has implied for the light duty truck series compare to the medium duty as you described. Read the last sentence at the quote
eLMeR ◊ 2016-04-23 02:10	I read: Quote The C-40 Series was the largest rated Chevrolet truck to use the light truck sheetmetal and grille. Unless I misunderstand what is written, I see here an obvious error: as already said twice, the 1967-72 C-40 never used any of the two mentioned items... -- Last edit: 2016-04-23 02:28:03
