Not bad for the price, more to follow

SacramentoJoe · 04-15-2007, 06:59 PM

I would have paid ten times that much.

hmm i'm guessing you "comandeered" that sucker... do tell...

lbpd719 · 04-15-2007, 07:55 PM

Got it in trade for some computer work.. was not expecting it at all..

Really only paid for it with my time, that was about it..

msgross · 04-15-2007, 07:56 PM

he could have sold the truck and bought a nice computer...nice score...welcome

lbpd719 · 04-15-2007, 08:38 PM

was not standard computer work, so doubt that.. but hey, for what I got for the deal, I am not complaining one bit

Now to find someone that has really REALLY good diagrams on how all of the vents and controls go together for the ac/defrost/heater stuff..

most of that has been unhooked and moved around. Had to scrap out the hoses which were cracked and falling apart. Sure would be nice to have a heater and defroster for starters.. then will tackle the factory AC (after I get the rats nest of wires under the hood taken care of..) Thanks for the welcome

check out www.lmctruck.com their catalog has very nice diagrams. Also use the search option for the forum...

good luck

They can be found on Ebay or Amazon mostly. Large book that covers 67-72 trucks but it has no index, only seperated by year so you tend to spend 20 min just flipping pages. And the picture that you want may or may not be in there... usually costs 20-40 bucks....
Here's on but it's not mine...

Nice truck! Always a nice surprise when someone awards you like that.

Do they still have the wild pigs down by the river in Los Banos? How long you lived there?

gmc1969custom · 04-16-2007, 10:29 AM

That's gotta make you feel good. Sweet Deal!!!
