That was Christmas Day and I imagine the truck was happier as it was very close
to getting scrapped when I bought it , it's now a good running , reliable daily
driver work truck again ~ we're driving it to Nevada this weekend .
Yesterday I buttoned up the dashboard , it was mangled so I've been rebuilding
it with factory gauges (no more idiot lights) from old Suburbans and trucks I
find in Pick-A-Part ,I repaired the turn signals and installed an original
Delco AM/FM stereo , no cassette as I don't want anyone breaking into it for
the radio ... I installed a nice chrome bumper I scored for $25.00 ,after
spending an hour hand polishing it . the clock keeps *perfect* time , the
heater blows gangbusters , etc. ,etc.
Dualtanks , super heavy duty @ 6,000 GVW .
Just another typical old GMC work rig no one else wanted .
I love it in spite of it's too long longbed .
Of course it's an InLine 6 cylinder engine ~ a 292 C.I.D. thinwall truck engine
, manual Muncie SM465 tranny...
I have some spare gauges and dash parts etc. to give away as I no longer need
the excess parts I collected ~ these parts suit from'73 ~ '87 , up to '91 in
Suburbans .
My free advice remains so and is now worth nearly 1/3 that much .
