My first truck - '65 GMC
I just picked up a 1965 GMC short bed, step side. It was sold through a consignment shop up in Dallas.
Original I6 250 cc engine. 3 on the column. Typical surprises associated with buying a 50 year old car without a warranty, but nothing that has me scared. - Exhaust pipe came loose from the engine block - Head gasket proved to be a bit loose and is leaking (engine oil?) - Clutch required adjusting, but got a clean bill of health - Carb / fuel system acting up on cold start -- required pouring a 1/2 oz. of gasoline in the top of the carb to get a cold start (not everytime) I enjoyed a nice drive over Easter weekend from Houston out to the hill country. No regrets (yet) Going to have to look up my Web1.0 book to learn how to post a picture on this site....but I'll figure it out |
