A pic stuffed intro thread - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

2fat2furious · 03-12-2009, 09:11 PM

Right, so I'm not sure How I should introduce myself, but here it goes.My name is Blake, I'm a high schooler, I know next to nothing about cars, althogh since I received my truck for my birthday I have been trying to learn as much as I can about these trucks and automotive in general. The truck is a 1967 GMC K25. I don't know alot about it, though I do have the build sheet... er, well most of it that is. I know that it was originally equipped with a V6 but it was replaced with an I6, it's a four on the floor manual truck (obviously) and it has a winch that was also added sometime before purchasing the truck.
Onto the pics
On it's way home, still covered in moss (horrible cell pic)

Aw yeah, Gun rack

Those damned arm rests

I don't know why this is here or if it has power, but I don't mind it

under the hood

The only bit of cancer on here (that I know of that is)

does anybody know what that K&H thing is next to the steering wheel?

bigblazerboy · 03-12-2009, 09:15 PM

Congrats and welcome!! I hope you find lots of userful info from all of us. Love the electrical box!!

2fat2furious · 03-12-2009, 09:29 PM

Thanks guys, I appreciate it, I'll probably be coming here alot for help, and big blazer boy, I'm not sure yet. I have a new fuel sending unit that I'm waiting to put in, and then the brakes need to be worked, then I'll probably end up waiting till summer before I do any serious work the body or interior. I've been throwing around some ideas but I want to wait until I have more of an idea of what i want and some more knowledge.

Actually, it was a birthday present. I was pretty surprised by it because my parents had just got me a dirtbike and gear for christmas. Then on my birthday my stepdad just casually walks up to me and said I should look up a 1967 GMC Truck, so I asked him why, and then he said I just bought one for you. I'm a junior right now. As much as I'd love to drive one of the bugs, none of them drive, but we have enough parts and engines to get them all running in no time.

OARNGESI · 03-12-2009, 09:40 PM

Nice project

Skirkpat · 03-12-2009, 09:50 PM

2fat2furious...you come to the right place to learn about your classic truck. Read the above and you will see why these trucks have such a loyal following.

DtownSteve · 03-12-2009, 10:05 PM

Welcome...

stllookn · 03-12-2009, 10:23 PM

Welcome to the board from Kent, WA. Nice truck...1967 4x4 with a winch no less!!!! I would have killed for that truck when I was in HS! Nothing would have stopped my hunting and fishing escapades! I grew up on the East side of Portland and spent alot of time in the woods with a 2x4...what a pain!

Longhorn Man · 03-12-2009, 10:20 PM

Steve, you know you shouldn't be trying to buy stuff as an unsubscribed member.

2fat... welcome to the board, you've found the single best place for info and sources for parts on these trucks.
Your GMC has some interesting bits... the custom badges on the fenders are a one year only, and a fairly rare package on the early GMC trucks.
As for the "M&H thing" under the dash, that is an old trailer brake control box.

thirdstreettito · 03-12-2009, 10:26 PM

Welcome from NC, and from a fellow high school student! Lots of members in your area, couple high school guys as well!

stllookn · 03-12-2009, 10:58 PM

**Stocker** · 03-13-2009, 12:15 AM

Welcome to the best GM truck board anywhere, period! There's an awful lot of very knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly guys & gals here and you've already started out right by posting lots of pics!

**special-K** · 03-13-2009, 06:05 AM

Welcome...again.Like I said before,you actually have a pretty rare truck.There wouldn`t have been many `67 K2500 Customs and your`s is still a solid original.Someone knew what they were doing in`67 when they ordered that truck.There are hundreds of thousands of these trucks,but the special order trucks stand out.Take care of her.

PanelDeland · 03-13-2009, 08:50 AM

Welcome Blake! Hope you learn from the gang here.One way to start your education (at least on these trucks)is to read thru the FAQ's poages and look thru the Builds forum.Both will be informative and can give you lots of ideas on your truck.
