Re: Need Help:1967 GMC 4x4 lwb step side

If you are not familiar with mid 60's trucks, you might want to pass on this one. This truck was built during a transition phase from work truck era(60-66) to the pleasure truck era(67-72). This 67 has the older V6, older unsynchro 3 speed and drum brakes. If you want an easier to drive vehicle and more modern features from the get go, look for 71's and 72's with V8's, automatics, power steering, power disc brakes and air. Many people new to old trucks don't realize a revolution took place in the way pickups were built starting in the early 70's. Many early 70's pickups were equipped like cars of the day. If you go back 5 or 6 years prior, it is almost impossble to find a pickup set up with these options. Adding extra equipment to a vehicle that did not have it originally is a lot of expense and labor, not to mention fustration, but if that is what you want to do,fair warning.
