Sharp!
Side question, where did you find motor mounts? They look shiny and new in the pic.

Great truck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What rear end is installed in your truck?

I am trying to find out what truck had the Dana 60 center with 5 lug axles? Maybe someone has seen that!!! Thanks

w314speed,

The Spicer (Dana) 60-35 was the heavy-duty option axle in 1/2-ton GMCs. I'm not sure if they were available in Chevrolets, I've never seen one in a Chevy. It has the five-lug hubs and is a semi-floating design.

Stepsides were the way all GM pickups were made pre 1958. It has a very functional and nostalgic look. Easy to work with this body and the side spare mount is clever and cool looking.Very nice example.

love the truck erl that is what i plan to have my 67 done like but i am going with a 455 buick engine out a 71 riviera and my truck will be blue

the big v-12 that was mentioned is actually a 702ci that was made from 2 351ci v-6s bolted together and if i am correct was never installed in a vehicle but was used for stationary purposes

The 702 V-12 came in some of the C-70 cabover trucks, saw one years ago at my father inlaws shop that he was working on...its one awesome engine!!

we need the you tube video of that v-12

67_C-30 · 09-14-2008, 08:47 PM

Here ya go!

YouTube - GMC V-12 702 cid "BALAUR"...

67_C-30 · 09-14-2008, 08:50 PM

BTW, the V12 not 2 blocks bolted to together. It has 1 block, 1 crank, and 1 cam. It did have 4 separate heads, manifolds, 2 intakes, and 2 carbs, 12 pistonds and rods all from the std V6's. Very unique and cool engine.

The famous B-702 is a custom car designed around the GMC V12. It is on display at the Peterson Automotive Museum.

Thanks for all the good comments. I will answer a few of the questions.

The tires are Power King bias ply. I do not like them and have purchase Firestone M/T's to replace them.

The HEI is from a 78 Buick V6. I designed all the conversion parts and posted them on 60-66 GMC web site.

The 478 V6 has a 3.86 stroke and the 305, 351, 401 V6 has a 3.58 stroke.

I am running GM 427/454 rings in the 305 with custom Arias pistons.

I had the motor mounts redone by Steele Rubber Products for around $75.

**CPNE** · 09-15-2008, 09:28 AM

Has gotton my vote for years now as the best truck on the board. The only thing that would make it cooler would be if it were a 67.

1969stepside · 09-15-2008, 12:10 PM

the pics aint showing up and that motor makes me excited

justcuz · 09-17-2008, 02:12 AM

I came back to look at this again after a couple of weeks. This truck just gets it for me. This is the epitome of a no nonsense work truck. Plus I am parial to long bed step sides (check my avatar).

**bobvilla67** · 09-17-2008, 04:44 PM

truck is looking good Erl.

**Bob B.** · 09-17-2008, 04:49 PM

Nice work. Good to see you left the V-6 in it, too.

uno67 · 09-17-2008, 05:18 PM

Great looking truck, those tires have a great look to them makes the truck look mean. hope the new tires still keep that aggressive look. when you get a chance i would love to see pics of that thing in action.

drivethechevy · 09-17-2008, 06:11 PM
