Well I've been looking for a '67-'72 Chevy/GMC but they are not in my price range right now.... Anyway I also really like the '73-'87 Models, Well I have a chance to get a 1986 Chevy 305V8 with A/C<-- hooked up but don't know if it works) its an auto longbed, All of which I like, The guy says it runs and drives great but has vaccum leaks and you have to manually downshift, But then you can put it into drive and it shifts fine. He says you always have to manually downshift because of vaccum leaks. Would a vaccum leak cause that? I'm interested in this truck but I wanted to check with you guys first. I don't want to buy one that needs a transmission.
