1965-66 Chevy Custom Camper? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**MusicMan70** · 12-21-2025, 06:55 AM

This information is from Pete Chronis from the 6066 GMC Forum-

The purpose of the support rods, called "gussets" by GMC were used to eliminate "Cab roar". After customers complained, trucks equipped with automatics were recalled as this was very common on 67-68 V6 equipped light duty trucks. I have seen a 65 GMC with the 2 speed PowrFlow with the gussets as well. Definitely use these with your conversion.
