Need a little help on a 54 I might buy
Its a 54 dually flatbed with 18" wheels, a 270 straight 6 with an sm420. It says GMC 350 on the fender badge. GWR of 16000, GCWR of 26000. Ive been trying to find any info on this truck, as well as come up with a price to offer to the guy, neither of us has thrown out a number yet. He said the motor was frozen and he yanked it around the yard with this tacoma until it freed up then got it running, but now it needs clutch work. He pulled it out of a field in PA and never got around to working on it. He said the clutch is fine but it doesnt engage or disengage anymore, I cant remember which.
Is it a 3800? Is it a 2 ton? 1 1/2 ton? what rear gear would be in it? I know it would have a full floater rear and be geared between 4-5:1, and not go over 43 or 46 mph. My plans would be to do something to make it at least cruise at 60 highway, and upgrade the brakes accordingly. Probably swap in a basic sbc and new rear gears or a new rear end. How much should I offer? I dont think id go over $1000?
