Re: Noob Here with a 72 GMC 4x4 I Got Yesterday
Great looking truck! Everyonce in a while I'll see a nice longbed like yours and think I should have left my stock bed on my truck - luckily I have my bed saved.
Welcome to the board!

Re: Noob Here with a 72 GMC 4x4 I Got Yesterday
Good looking truck!!! Sounds like you got a deal!
Anyway, check the water level in the radiator. I was low in a truck years ago, and the temp gauge was all over the place going to work that day. Filled it up & never saw it happen like that again. good luck with the truck & enjoy it!

Re: Noob Here with a 72 GMC 4x4 I Got Yesterday
Welcome and Great Truck! The resistance readings are in the Haynes manual in one section there. Can't remember them off the top of my head and the manual is at home. Keep the pics coming! Jeff.

Re: Noob Here with a 72 GMC 4x4 I Got Yesterday
Here's more of the story
![]() Sold my pride and joy some months ago, decided I wanted a full size truck for those jobs the SSR wasn't quite up for and spend about 2 months looking for the right truck. Now it's here. So, a couple of shots of the 250 hp 265 ft lb roller cam Corvair ![]() ![]() |

That Corvair is cool! Too bad you had to let it go.

Re: Noob Here with a 72 GMC 4x4 I Got Yesterday
That has got to be one of the nicest Corvairs I`ve seen.Ahhh...going away shots,how bittersweet?Is that a pair of Webers?When I was young a friend`s dad was a Corvair restoration nut.Good old Waldo gave me a 140 horse motor to put in my`66 VW bus.I know that`s sacriledge to a Corvair buff.But,this was in`75 and things were different.
Have funny going over all the little minor things you find.Always the first step when getting a driver.

![]() Transfer case is coming out Sat as is the windshield (cracked), steering box, and doors apart to fix the locks. Going through the brakes during the downtime as well. May go through the trans since I'll be apart that far. Should be up and running in about 3 weeks depending on parts availability. Good thing Classic Industries is right down the street. |

Re: Noob Here with a 72 GMC 4x4 I Got Yesterday
I guess you have a Dana60 rear.I may have read that some had the corporate HO52,like Chevys.Thw brake parts are at Napa if not found elsewhere.

Between NAPA and Classic Ind I should be covered for most things. Biggest issue will be getting the trans to transfer case adapter welded or finding a replacement... |

Re: Noob Here with a 72 GMC 4x4 I Got Yesterday
Sometimes motors get swapped, and the coolant gauge gets plugged into a temp switch instead of a gauge sender....
