Re: 1968 GMC "Camillian"
We had an awesome sunset, so I couldn't resist snapping a photo and sharing it!

Re: 1968 GMC "Camillian"
Very nice truck. Those rally's really look nice on there. Might have to steal (copy) that little trick of raking the gate forward on my next project a 63 GMC waiting her turn. Really cool.
I am building a 68 1 ton dually, short bed, step side right now.

I don't have pictures, but since it plan on driving this truck a lot fuel economy and reliability are important. I'm running a 4.8 votec v8 and 4l60 trans. I've been using HP Tuners to get a few more mpg and horses out of it. I'm planning to drive it to Colorado in May for my vacation and don't want to break the bank doing it. I plan on sharing what sort of fuel mileage I get out of it. |

I also installed a Richmond powertrax locker, and a tonneau cover. I hit the road for Colorado on Friday, we will see how she does on the 2500 mile trip. Posted via Mobile Device

Thanks! We have been on the road since Saturday. We live in the St. Louis area, and have run around 1200 to and throughout Colorado so far. The only major issue we had was a fuel pump failure, but it quit in a town and I was able to get it to a parts store. Unfortunately I can only post one picture at a time so I won't be able to show too many.

Re: 1968 GMC "Camillian"
After some questions about the hockey stripe, I took a couple not so artistic pictures for others interested in doing the same.
