gmc owners
 

i was wondering how many gmc owners are on here?i see lots of chev's but only 1 other gmc.are the gmc's that much rarer?

Re: gmc owners
 

hey, count me in

Re: gmc owners
 

will do:hiya:

Re: gmc owners
 

Current thinking is there is about 1 GMC for every ten chevies, at least as far as production numbers on the 67-72's, should be similar for the early 60's too.

Re: gmc owners
 

i am a GMC owner, 65 k1500 4x4 , 14,000 original miles , i'm stripping it down now and will be all redone in april , .

Re: gmc owners
 

GMC owner here. 63 GMC 1000 with the infamous 305 V6.

Re: gmc owners
 

pretty obvious :lol:
64 1000 series shortstep (don't mind the username :lol:)
Its a 64 w/ 63 VIN tag.

speaking of rarity, your truck is a leaf spring right?
That seems very common in GMCs, likewise you don't see too many chevies w/ leafs.

Re: gmc owners
 

guess i dont feel so lonely anymore;)

Re: gmc owners
 

GMC's were leaf spring setups from 63 on. Just one of the differences between GMC and Chevy at that time.

Re: gmc owners
 

i read that the leafs were able to be ordered on chev's and trailing arms were able to ordered on gmc's.
anyone lower theyre leaf rearend?howd you do it?

Re: gmc owners
 

1966 3/4 here. I am building it now. Leaving it 8 lug, 351 V6. Drop coils in front, Out back I am going to use a new main leaf and a few refurbished old leaves with a drop shackle and air bags. Trying to decide right now to C the frame or not. The engine, frame and front suspension and brakes are about done, working on the rear now. Then fuel cell , electrics and body/paint. And a few hundred other things.

Re: gmc owners

Re: gmc owners
 

Okay I'll admitt it, I own a 61' long stepside 1/2 ton. In the tearing down stages currently. Located in the great Northeast, Rochester, NY

Re: gmc owners

Re: gmc owners
 

Nothing bad meant. Takes alot of hard work to be able to lay rocker. If I offended you some how my bad.
