Another New guy with a 60 GMC.
Ok I figure it's time i say hello and introduce myself. I have been lurking here for a while since I picked up my truck. I got a 1960 GMC longbed fleetside, Decent shape runner with power steering and disc brake upgrades and 5 lug all around with a 350 chev and a th350. A week later I swapped the motor for stronger running 350 I already had out of my old 66 buick skylark. I also have been working on a serious Lattitude adjustment. Ok not as crazy as some on here but I plan to use the truck as a truck. I c notched the rear about 3 inches and will have bags at all 4 corners.
anyhow I will post some pics soon when I am not at work. Eric |

Re: Another New guy with a 60 GMC.
I agree whole heartedly that it is worthless with out pics and I hate when guys tease like that. So now I am one of those guys.... Cant send them from work so I have to do it from home and with 3 kids one being all of 6 months old time gets tight. so sorry for the tease but I will get some up here soon.

Don't sweat the photo vultures - it's instinctual and they don't know any better - just post when you can.

Re: Another New guy with a 60 GMC.
SChlong beds are cool but i think I might shorten it up here in the future. The wheels are old radirs. cool but the fronts I have for it are 5 0n 4 3/4 and I have adapters to fit 5 on 5. it makes em stick out to much and looks funny. If I cant find a rotor to work soon I am going to redrill the ones I have for the smaller pattern.
