Chevy C65 Dump Truck 1985 

Nothing like a General motors square body! And a 427 at that.

I learned to operate a 2 speed axle 5 speed in a 1977 C65 with a 366 engine back in the summer of 1980 doing construction between school seasons, It was a beast.

Beautiful truck! Thanks for sharing, I agree with you these trucks don't get the appreciation they deserve. They are very good trucks and very reliable.

What a gem! Started driving in '88 with C70's, 8.2 L Detroits with Allison automatics, good reliable trucks. Definitely on my list of favorites along with the IH S series with a DT466.

That's a really great truck. I've owned a number of large 70s and 80s GM trucks and cars for that matter. Had a few with the 454 but never a 427. I love the look of the big square bodies. It's a beautiful kind of ugly. I bet you could get this truck with the 8.2 Fuel Sipper GM diesel but it would not still be on the road if it had that as no one has had the tools for it for a long time. Much better it has a gas engine in this case. Stick an old 5.9 Cummins in it when it needs a fresh engine.

Beautiful truck. I have a 78 c60. It has the 350 and a 2 speed rear. I grew up riding in 2 old chevys just like them. My grandmother and grandfather had them and he would clear land, haul dirt, stone, demolition. They bought one of them brand new in the 80s not sure what year. Wish I had them but they are long gone

That is a nice clean unit! I love the no payments models!

I like those. We had a couple of that vintage with 453 Detroits in them.

6 or 7....hahaha....nope. 5 is believable tho. They put huge tanks on them so that you wouldn't notice how much fuel they take. Outstanding truck for your area Nate!

That's a great truck! I have owned many of those. They are very tough trucks. I've had C70s and a C6000 and C7000 are great for landscaping and construction. I'd love to have another one someday. Great video

Very nice Truck! it has a hitch to pull a pup Dump trailer,

I have a c70 that I got back in 2020 and it is rough. That truck of yours looks great for its age. We call ours big John it is a white 1984 c70 with the 427 and 2 speed rear. Has a few leaks in the power steering brake assist. Nothing major.

Great truck! Love these, i didn't need the dump, but i love the way they drive so i took one of my uncle's project c30s and welded an '87 suburban body on the back and we take it out to shows and tow projects back to the garage with it.

1991 was the last year of production! The 8.2L Detroit Diesel Allison Transmission is the best!

Greetings from NH!! Love your rig! Keep it going!!

Just bought one, your truck is inspiring

nice old classic! older then my 94 cabover I'm rebuilding on you tube!

The squarebody mediums were from 73 to 90 and the heavies the light duty trucks were 73 87 ck series 88 to 91 rv series

this was the BEST dump truck made for many years chev was number 1 for a lot of years back in the 50 and 60 yes i did drive one

I'm a small l owner operator/ contractor. My best friend runs 10 wheelers and a heavy haul set up. He does all my transport for me and hauling. Wanting to keep more in house i just bought a 85 Gmc 5yrd 454 gasser. It's not in as good cosmetic shape as urs but Is pretty clean and price was right. Mine needs carb and few other easy fixes. Cool to c I'm not the only one not to tainted by modern technology to run an old rig. I was wondering on tires and just assumed on milage. I do know one thing especially with the older equipment. They don't make em like they used to. That's why they say an oldie but a goodie. Lol

Nice truck , we had a 1975 C65 chev with the 427 , it use to burn out points . It was a tandem with a 5 & 4 transmission . The other truck we had and still have is a 50 series with a 350 and a straight 4 speed nice little farm truck and also a 1972 International with 47,000 miles

I don't see many of those generation Chevy & GMC medium duty models on the roads anymore like I use to back in the day.

Sweet truck, I just got a C65 that I’m gonna put to work. There still a lot in use mostly farmers

Love the medium duty trucks

Just bought a 88 366 not as nice as yours but i hope to get it right over the next year or so. Thanks for sharing. So far i put a new aluminum radiator with electric fans and i think ill take the smog junk out and weld the header up.

It's in great shape for the year!

Love that chrome bumper! Rarely saw those.

Beautiful rig!!!

shinny & clean NATE

Preciate the review

Drive 2007 c 8500 cdl truck izuzu engine Allison trans if my company maintained it it would go many more years

Take me for a ride

Back when they made a man’s truck.

A 427 might get on a good day 4.5_5 miles to the gallon.

Could you do me a favor and let me know if a full sump oil pan will fit ? (An oil pan without a kick-out for a cross member)

Good

hey nate L. i just wondered when did or did you graduate from high school ?

What engine and speed? What State from Chevy C65 1985

Quantos HP? ?

Of course,the big trucks were Mack, Kenworth and Autocar but GMC And Chevrolet led the country when it came to mid size Trucks. Sorry Ford and Dodge...you guys couldn't even build a diesel.
