Here is a suggestion....put the master cylinder back in!

OK, enough of the wise cracks....looks like you have a good truck to start with.

Nice starter. Be nice to watch it grow.

Can't go wrong with a LWB GMC with a 292 (or I think it's a 292). Freshen it up, make it mechanically sound, repaint it the original green (awesome color!) and put it to work. That's what she was built for!

I like it

Looks like a good start..

A bit of topic here, I take it you are a Pittsburgh Steelers fan?

75steelers · 05-05-2004, 07:59 PM

yep big time steelers fan

I get the nfl ticket every year to watch all the games. I take it from the picture you goe to the games

It does have a 292 mechanically it is sound no smoke or anything. I paid $350 for the truck the way it sits now I could'nt pass it up mechanically all I have had to do is replave the tranny unfortunately I had to put it on the floor because I could'nt find the tree linkage.

Nice start. Looks real similar to my truck. By the way, I converted the manual to an auto. Nothing wrong with it, except the wife refuses to drive a stick. If you have trouble finding an original trans, look me up. I in the Dallas area.
