I owe this to you guys
Hey guys, its been awhile since I've posted some pics of my GMC, and I dont think I've ever posted any since I swapped the 350 in and got it on the road, which was last fall. And I finally found my camera today, and it has batteries in it, so I figured I'd go shoot a few pics for you guys.
![]() I got the slots for it a few weeks ago for $250, with the tires, which have pretty good tread too. BTW, please exscuse the dirty motor, I didn't clean it before I took the pics. ![]() Last edited by JAKES 68GMC; 09-21-2009 at 09:09 PM. |

Re: I owe this to you guys
Its a night and day difference, Bill. I love the 350, it runs great, has more power and fun factor than the V6, and it even gets better gas mileage. So far I think it gets around 11mpg, which isnt bad for 4.56 gears with no OD in a 40 year-old truck.

Re: I owe this to you guys
Very nice! I do like those wheels! And if you think your motor's dirty I would hate to show you mine....

Re: I owe this to you guys
This is definitely not a knock, because I love your truck, but that bad boy would would still have the V6 and black wheels if it were mine!

Re: I owe this to you guys
Yeah, I just can't wait to get it painted, then its going to look really good. One of my friends dads is a good painter, and he said if I buy the paint and get the truck ready to paint, then he would do what little bodywork there is to be done and paint the truck for FREE. I can't really turn a deal like that down.
Thanks for the compliments guys. |

Re: I owe this to you guys
Truck looks great! Is that a factory green color? I was thinking somthing similar on my crewcab, only with a white top.

Re: I owe this to you guys
No its not the factory green. Its some sort of crappy faded green re-paint. Originally it was a gross-looking baby blue color.
