X2...There are a lot of things to consider. What is your technical ability? How large is your wallet? Do you like things to go together the way they were meant to or do you like to keep messin around with something until it's "good enough"? How much time do you have? How much space do you have? Do you have V8 envy? Personally, I would leave it. I have a 350 w/400TH but I would have been fine with a 6 cylider with 3 on the tree. I'm kinda goofy that way...I have a soft spot for the things other guys don't like.

I really like the 292 and I have always liked the looks of stock with a little extra. I have been looking for ideas on how to build up the 292. The only major thing I am thinking is moving the gas tank out of the cab. This truck is going to be my daily driver so I don’t want it pulled apart in my garage for months.

Here is my new baby. My plan is to make her as close to stock as I can. My dad had one just like her when I was 12 or 13. Supposed to be olive and white. I have a lot to do.

Yeah! GMC truck looks pretty nice. Here in Argentina GM never built them under GMC brand, they all was Chevrolets.

Congrats!

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks

Tranz Am,

Very Nice GMC.
I live North East of you in Cobb!
I just picked up a 72 GMC Short Fleet.
So are you gonna put your Beauty in the "Stokes Car Show" this weekend (May 9th) or the Fathers Day Car Show at Julliard Park in June?
Roger
