Just got home with it!

[Gary]

Went and picked up the 72 GMC LWB I've mentioned around here a time or two.

It ran real good coming home, stalled on me at the stop sign about 1/4 mile from the gas station, fuel guage showed 1/8 tank so I figured it might be sucking fumes, stopped and filled up on mid grade and it purred like a kitten the rest of the trip home.

Speedo cable is scratching probably gonna be breaking on me soon, shifting into R is kinda sticky, doesn't feel like a transmission thing but a friction in the steering column thing, plus this is a 3 speed original truck with a 700R4 in it now so I figure it's just a drawback to what was probably a shadetree swap.

Got into it at the last stop sign before the house, it smoked the tires damn near into 3rd gear, my wife's pissed at me for "being stupid" haha

I'll try and get some pictures of it tomorrow so I can get some feedback on what kinda job is ahead of me.
