Opinions requested on this 67 GMC...

[dogman88]

...I am thinking of purchasing a 67 GMC 3/4 ton 4WD. I had a 1969 GMC 1/2 a few years ago, so I'm not a stranger to these great trucks. This one is just a little out of my realm of expertise. It has a GMC V-6, which I have no experience with whatsoever. It's a 4 speed, and is geared to the gills (as my 69 was), but the owner mentioned a top speed of 55 MPH. The truck is in great condition, for a farm truck, and I am curious about a few things. Primarily would be gearing the truck (numerically lower) for higher top end speed. Or perhaps making up for the gearing with taller tires. If anyone has personal experience with any of this, I would love to hear your input. Also, not a real important point but this truck is "radio delete". Just wondering how many trucks without radios that you guys have seen. TIA for any help you guys can give.
