Hey Dean, 1500 mile update! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well many of you all will remember I picked up the 3/4 ton 4wd GMC Dean was selling. Got the truck near the end of Feburary. Had to put a new cab/bed on. Titled the truck the first week in April, since then I've put 1500 miles on her. All I did to the drivetrain was top off the fluids, rebuild the front axle and got rid of the headers. I pulled the plugs today and was really suprised they looked great. The truck pulls strong (4.56 gears help) not good for the highway though, about 60 is my limit. The truck was actually a GMC sitting on a 71 Chevy chassis/drivetrain, therefore I plan on swapping it back to Chevy status, The cab/bed came from a 70 C20 camper special and because I now have Chevy fenders/grill thanks to Randy (Randy70C-10). I also need to thank some other guys for parts I got for this truck-Dubie(manifolds),Teeitup(pass side manifold),67SSS(rearend plug),Ljbear(bed to frame brackets). Thanks!
Just thought I'd share!

Almost forgot! Thanks to Dean and his brother Brad!
