Re: New truck
Sadly, a few weeks ago the motor in this truck gave up the ghost. Lots of clattering, smoking and grinding noises on the freeway going home from work, pulled over as fast as I could, wouldn't restart.Towed it home and parked it.
If anyone needs parts off of the 305 V6- PM me- I'll happily sell the stuff off cheap to someone who can use it.
I thought about remotoring the truck at some point- but I likely wont. The cab floor is so rusty that I may just scavenge the running gear, steering and other stuff to use on my 65 GMC Suburban, maybe the windshield and cab front can go to my 64 sub. The tranny is smoother than the one in my 66, The frame has that ugly damage in the rear, there isn't a straight or non rusty panel on it and this was always meant to be a parts truck.
I feel kind of bad retiring one of these trucks, but I guess it will live on in some way as a donor to my other ones.
