I don't drive it every day. But my 66 GMC is the one that I drive and use the most. Im contemplating taking it apart pretty soon. Install a 73 up front suspension and 5 hole rear under it. change the bed to a stepside. and swap the 250 six for a 1955 GMC 287 Pontiac engine. the reason are to get better brakes taller rear gears. five hole rims and the little 287 V8 should be able to pull the taller gears better than the 250 six.
