I know this is off topic for the site, but I like the knowledge base here. I am about to buy a 1986 c30 dump. It has a 350 with a 4 speed. Overall its in great condition. I am having trouble finding specs on it, particularly towing capacity. Does anyone here have experience with these trucks? I will use it for my tree service to take some of the load off of my 08.

That is great info. Where did you find that? Do you have the same info but for bumper towing? That is for 5th wheel.

Bumper towing is usually no more than 10k GTW Depends on the hitch, and your trucks GVWR and if the trailer has brakes.
Sorry for the incorrect info.
The below pics are not exactly what you want either.

I've got an 86 diesel Dump, (ex US Army fire truck) and an 83 ex Penn Dot gas dually plow truck. the gas truck has much better pulling power but the dump gets better mpg. Anyway snatch up that dump, they are hard to find in good condition here in the rust belt that vintage.

Thanks for that info as well. It is still more then I can find on the web!
What motor do you have in the gasser? I am going to buy this truck, its only $2500 and in great shape. This will be my 8th square body Chevy. It has a solid 350 in it, so I expect it to pull my trailer better then my m1008. It looks just like the one in your picture.

Cool truck. I'm going to call the seller this afternoon and make it official. I'm just wondering if it has a posi rear. I didn't crawl under the back end because the guys dumpster was leaking some foul water.
