I was going to restore but I want to go to Alaska instead.

I read that on his sale posting and laughed. If he ditches that rig to come up here, guarenteed he will wish he had brought it with him!
Trust me, I know a little about this....

Hahahahahahahahah

And dude the only thing cooler than meeting you face to face would be watching you build another rig like these!

could there be a more amazing sight

[KroAutomotiveInc]

here is some pics of the parts i got with the truck tons of just odds and ends there's like 3 heaters hinges break parts dash stuff cable linkage all sorts of stuff and the best of all is an original manual pulled apart and put in plastic pages.

Looks good Kro!

What is it with the paint? Mine has a white dusting over blue/green paint, and yours has it over blue! LOL You really were after one that was like mine.

Those are some serious seat belts! What in the world was the P.O. up to in it? I know mine with the V6 torque monster engine, 3.92 gears, and the granny 4 speed could probably climb out of the Grand Canyon.

I have one of the original manual like that too. Mine was starting to fall apart, so I bought one of the ones online, printed it all out (at work... shhh) and put it in a binder. Some of the pictures didn't scan in, or print very well, so I end up referring to the original, but for the most part it stays safe. Too bad I didn't think of doing it like yours.

All in all, looks like a fun build!

Jolly's 60-66 GMC site has a bunch of info on these trucks, that are GMC specific. They do not take as kindly to people that do not have the V6 in them though. It is still a wealth of information.

Jolly is in Honeyville, Utah, so only a couple hours North of you. Which is about 4-5 hours South of me. It would be pretty cool to meet up with you, and or some of them once I get mine running and driving MUCH better!

The Service Manual all in document protectors is awesome !!
Nice score !

[KroAutomotiveInc]

the belts are just for rallying off road i guess he said the last 5-8 years hes used it for playing offroad and trips to homedepot there pretty cool tho never really used them before the org paint was teal then blue then like a silver with a spray can i want to redo it in dark blue

Can you post some more pics of the interior?

Pics of your truck are like truck porn.

Did they change out the transmission and transfer case when they did the engine swap? It looks like your 4wd shifter is on the wrong side from original. Mine is on the passenger side of the shifter. I will have to dig around, but I think '60 and '61 were to the right like mine, and '62+ is on the left like yours. I don't remember for sure though. I'll look around and see what I can find.

You will have to get another thread going for this beastie!
