Gmc c6500

[slalomsauce]

My neighbor picked up this GMC 6500 and is making plans to make it just a fun usable big truck. This rig is powered by the 366 big block that with some love is running quite well now. Brakes function, but still need some more attention. Interior is in amazing condition considering it was just a work truck.



Although the plans keep changing, the hope is to graft a few spare beds together and make one loooong bed.



Other changes will include swapping out the 2 speed rear end for something a bit more usable as neither ratio 6.50 or 8.87 goes down the highway too well. Hoping to find a 1 ton dually rear end soon.

That's a good looking start for what he's planning.
I thought only the 427 had the air intake vent on the drivers side of the hood. I could be wrong, it happens a lot.

366 had the driver side only vent, 427 had both sides vented plus a 427 emblem in front of vent, 350 327 292 had no vents

Thanks for the clarification.

This is definitely the 366 for sure, regardless of exterior bits.

Very nice! Looking forward to the updates.

Mine is a 427 and has the vents on both sides with the 427 on the vents.
