As always GREAT find Eric!!!!!!!!!!

Vintage Windmills · 11-05-2014, 02:23 PM

Yes, nice to see you finally got it Eric! Now tell us about its buddy bucket equipped brother that was nearby!

PS- you have a knack for finding these nice 67 GMC's, like that 4x4 you kicked up a couple years ago! Speaking of that, that one could use a nicer bed and tailgate.......

Lees68GMC · 11-05-2014, 07:39 PM

Man, some of you guys are coming up with some sweet, affordable one's, I'd love to start a Stable like you guys.

Also couldn't help noticing the GMC V6 discussions, I'll see your GMC V6 and raise you another, TOGETHER !! TWO GMC V6s mated together to power an Old 12 cylinder Seagraves Fire Engine, COOL eh?

trac209 · 11-05-2014, 08:39 PM

Wow what a truck!! Nice score

That is very cool, although something maybe only guys on this board might get. My girlfriend not so much....

**thelonerife** · 11-05-2014, 11:46 PM

love to have that. Congrats!

looks like the elusive 12- 702. They look like 2 separate engines but actually are a one piece 12 cyl block

Yes, it is quite original yet. Still debating what to do with it.

You would like this gate. It doesn't look very good in the pics.

My first thought was "I have just the tailgate that truck needs" (not that it could be pried from my hands). I'm glad you have one. Does it still have the buddy buckets? I can't quite tell in the picture

No buddy seats in this one.

They are out there, been after this one for over 5 years!

Nice buy... Love that gate too! Just think it gives you 2 trucks. One look from the drivers side and another on the passenger, depending on if your driving to or from the store! Lol

Great perspective!

Truck number 2 is in the works... Are you looking for a new 305 v-6. I didn't buy that with the package.

Thanks.

Hopefully i can play with the truck a little this weekend and update...

**too much stuff** · 11-09-2014, 07:14 PM

No updates this weekend other than i got it unloaded from the trailer. 17 degrees this am, fresh snow on the ground and windy!

Talking about slinging gravel, dukes of hazard had nothing on us in that scene. Never forget that...

Sounds about as fun as getting caught on a railroad bridge with a train coming.

Or swimming in a creek and realizing you are swimming with water mocassins.

Been there, done that. But never shot at, it's on my bucket list toward the top of the bucket.

**too much stuff** · 12-06-2014, 07:19 PM

Update: Got up to almost 20 above today so i tinkered for awhile. The good news is, it now runs and drives. Stopping is a different story... The real bad news is it looks like i may have to pull the gas tank and clean out the lines. The V-6 runs pretty nice hooked up to a remote can.

YE9Longhorn30 · 01-07-2015, 10:29 PM

that is really sweet eric!!

yeah I am planning on yanking out the 305 from the 67 I got from jud from you and rebuilding it. Just having a hard time finding rebuild kits for the "coffee can" engine. I would love to hear it run. yours looks pretty solid. I would like to locate the side molding trim for mine in the future like yours has.

The guy i got this from has a v-6 he is going to rebuild and sell. He didn't give me a number yet. Came from the 67 he was going to restore. (which i may still buy) This truck here was his parts truck for the other one... And yes this one was nicer than the one he was going to restore.

Vintage Windmills · 01-07-2015, 11:18 PM

Eric, let us know on the other v6, mainly depends on the price and if its been properly stored since rebuild, and what all the rebuild was. I always thought I'd use the 351 out of the 67 C20 but I just haven't been able to bring myself to tear that one apart. Theres something really appealing about these four eyed, clean fender trucks

Quinn/YE9, Good to see you made it on here !

Looks great!! Kind of like the patina on my '67 GMC.
