Cool Pics
I took my truck out to my transmission shop this afternoon, to have him check out the shift kit. I pulled in next to a real clean GMC. It was a customers, and it had a hot-rodded 292 six and built 700R4. Sounded real cool. Nice truck. Took a couple pics with my phone.

Re: Cool Pics
Nice truck!
292 parts are easy to find but you need a big wallet for the parts.

Re: Cool Pics
Yeah, straight sixes sound pretty cool with the right exhaust. I like the sound of the older 235's over the 250 and 292 engines though. I think it would be cool to find an old GMC 302 I6 and put it in a 67-72 era truck.

Re: Cool Pics
Ya i was curious so i did some searching and found several speed shops/websites dedicated to straight sixes (GM, Ford, Mopar)
There are lots of cool parts for them. It would be great to build a low buck shop truck style with an inliner and like a 5 speed out of a 3rd gen Camaro or something. |

Re: Cool Pics
Very nice 54 GMC
or it could be a first series 55 You can tell it is a 54 or 55 by the solid winshield I like the sound of the six with dual exhaust A buddy of mine back in the 80's had one with the full chrome grill

I would love to see it! A buddy of mine has a 52 GMC with the original 228 but he's looking for a 302 I6 to build for it. I think he had located one, but hasn't went to pick it up yet. I think he said he wasn't worried about it getting gone because it's somwhere where nobody can find it. ![]()
