62 GMC 3/4 Ton Flatbed
Picked up this 62 gmc on Saturday. 97,000 miles with original v6. Was told it ran a few years ago but the radiator is missing.
Went to a new home in January 2018.

Re: 62 GMC 3/4 Ton Flatbed
Decided the bed would look better on the 67 c20 so we spent Saturday and Sunday swapping the beds.

Re: 62 GMC 3/4 Ton Flatbed

Re: 62 GMC 3/4 Ton Flatbed
Pulled the old seat and gas tank out and installed a new gas tank.
Then we had a nice seat that we needed to use in something and it matched the arm rests. One of the few options the truck has is the limited slip rear axle.

Re: 62 GMC 3/4 Ton Flatbed
I will try and take a video when we get it running.
Today I filled up the master cylinder up and tried to get the brakes and clutch working. The clutch pumped up but the brake side is leaking. Going to get a repair kit and gas tank sender on Saturday.

Re: 62 GMC 3/4 Ton Flatbed
Pulled the master cylinder and decided that we might as well get a new one.
Went to classic parts and picked one up. Got it installed and the clutch works and we have brakes on 3 corners. Also picked up a new gas tank sender and got it installed. Still waiting for the lower radiator hose.

Re: 62 GMC 3/4 Ton Flatbed
Well we got some time today and got it running. We pulled the distributor cap and to our surprise the cap is like new and someone has installed a Pertronix Ignitor!! Then pulled the spark plugs and they looked good so we poured a little gas down the carb and started cranking it over and it fired right up. With a little carb adjustment it is running good.

Re: 62 GMC 3/4 Ton Flatbed
Installed new brake hoses on the front and know we have brakes on all 4 corners.
Went to install the new rear hose and it is to short. I looked at the rear end and it still has the limited slip and 4:10 gear tags. Also set a air cleaner on it. Need to get a filter.
