Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
I love the stock trucks as well. At car shows people really seem to get more nostalgic about the stock set ups. However, unless there is a stock class, the bling usually gets the trophy. Mine is stock except for the edlebrock carb and air cleaner. My rubber is finally starting to crack on the ol' 16.5 steelies, so I have purchased some AR23's to brighten it up a bit. I am keeping all the stock parts that are replaced though and will refurbish and powdercoat at some point when the funds come available.

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
Old trucks left original just takes you back in time to a related memory.
The smell. The sound of the straight six. The sound of the rattling gearshift. For me, the smell, and the rattling 4-speed gearshift takes me back to us grandchildren all cramped in the cab with grandpa and grandma going camping. ![]() Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
OK, In about 3 days I will be moving my 66 to the new frame.
![]() Right now it is a half ton with 8 lug suspension. However, it is going on a 3/4 ton 1971 frame. Power steering, hydro-boost brakes, 5 speed overdrive, steel bed floor. Yes, I am bringing this antique at least into the latter part of the 20th century. ![]() Here is a before photo... I LOVE 3/4 ton and bigger GMC trucks

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
Got some new shoes. Swapped some tires around and retired my 3 piece rims. My old tires looked like slicks!

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
Another one from the archives. This is the reason many 3/4 tons were sold for, carrying a camper during the booming economy years for the middle class.

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
This 3/4 ton GMC got plenty of TLC. This is the calibur of vehicle the hobby needs. THese type of trucks rarely show up at your typical car show. IMO, the shortbed Chevy thing gets a little over done.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/GMC-S...item5aef87c81c

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
Gmcdeadhead,
I put those same wheels on my 66 3/4 ton GMC. On mine, the center caps don't fit the rear hubs -- they aren't deep enough. Did you do anything special to get the rear caps to fit? Thanks. Rob Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
Thanks. Its a small hand crank winch, bought this one from the original owner in Idaho. I have another one similar with a winch to pick up or pull up deer, its a 4x4 that was primarily used for hunting. I dont remember what this one was for ??

Re: Where's the 3/4 ton love?
Thanks for the additions 60-66. Those '60-'61 tu tones are very sharp.Love the stance on the gold '60. Are the 17.5's going back on the GMC?
