Re: NAPCO Thread
:lol:That`s what I told one guy who offered."Are you sure you don`t just want to see what everyone else is missing?:lol:
Here`s a later Napco.Not so sure this unit wasn`t swapped in out of an earlier truck at some point.With LTs,that was the idea.Wear the truck out,then move the Power-Pak to the next truck. http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...Picture007.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...Picture011.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...Picture008.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...Picture009.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...Picture010.jpg |

Re: NAPCO Thread
I agree with Special K the Suburbans in post #3 are all factory. 1959 was the last year for Napco's in the light duty truck. Did GMC's have Dana axles in the rear as well as the front, like the 3/4 tons did. I know Chevy 1/2 ton 4x4's came with either the Eaton Corporate or the GM 12 bolt up to about 63. My friend had a 1/2 ton GMC Carryall when we were in college, I had my 63 Chevy Longbed 4x4. His had the V6 in it and I always preferred his Carryall over my pickup, much more practical for camping.

Re: NAPCO Thread
somewhere in my mess, i have a picture of my dad's old 55 chevy napco he had when i was a little kid. he worked for the agriculture department for contra costa county and it was his "county truck". he went from that 55 to a '64 ford 4x4, a 70 stepside 4x4 and finally a 78 power wagon. i wish i knew what happened to the 55 and the 70 since my dad always took extra care of his vehicles even though they were owned by the county. i tried buying the 70 when it came up for auction but as a 18 year old i didn't have enough cash.

Re: NAPCO Thread
Special-K what kind of grille is on that Marmon Herrington?
Looks what I found. http://www.marmon-herrington.com/ |
Re: NAPCO Thread
That truck belongs to my friend Dale`s truck repair/towing/recovery/hauling business.Oh,I forgot powdercoating,too:lol:.One of his guys made that grille.I`m not sure if they made the big emblem.The truck had big singles all around,but Dale swapped duals onto it for his purposes.I likes it with the singles.I offered him a Lund visor I have for free.He didn`t want it.And,he`s a dress it up kinda of guy.Oh well,I think that truck is screaming for a visor if any truck should have one at all.

Hello, I picked up this 56 this fall, getting ready to tear it apart for paint, upgrades and a 396. My goal is to keep the axles to preserve a little of its heritage but will replace tranny and Tcase with something more modern. Somebody put a car 4 speed in it along the way and the Tcase is pretty noisey.i had a bad experience with a divorced Tcase on an old power wagon so I am going with a T350/np205 if I can make it fit.

Re: NAPCO Thread
after reading this thread, i have confirmed we do have a napco.
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y26...o/55napco8.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y26...o/55napco2.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y26...o/55napco3.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y26...o/55napco5.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y26...o/55napco6.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y26...co/55napco.jpg It has a small block Chevy with a two barrel under the hood, incomplete, no trans, my dad picked it up from somebody who was restoring it back in the day i believe, ill ask him later. looks like a pretty solid truck, has some rust, but after watching that napco movie on youtube i wanna restore it to stock condition. 67-72s may be more popular, but nothing is sexier than a nicely done task force. |
Re: NAPCO Thread
All you need is an old sm-420 4 speed and you got it made for running gear.
They should be cheap and easy to find. In use in Chevy trucks from late 40's early 50's till 1967 I believe from 1/2 tons up to 2 1/2 (C60?)ton trucks. |
