Hey guys, its been awhile since I've posted some pics of my GMC, and I dont think I've ever posted any since I swapped the 350 in and got it on the road, which was last fall. And I finally found my camera today, and it has batteries in it, so I figured I'd go shoot a few pics for you guys.

I got the slots for it a few weeks ago for $250, with the tires, which have pretty good tread too. BTW, please exscuse the dirty motor, I didn't clean it before I took the pics.

looks great jake, I love the wheels. how do you like that 350 compared to your v-6?

JAKES 68GMC · 05-21-2008, 11:04 PM

Its a night and day difference, Bill. I love the 350, it runs great, has more power and fun factor than the V6, and it even gets better gas mileage. So far I think it gets around 11mpg, which isnt bad for 4.56 gears with no OD in a 40 year-old truck.

Very nice! I do like those wheels! And if you think your motor's dirty I would hate to show you mine....

congrats !

chevguy7 · 05-22-2008, 12:40 AM

looking good. what dirty motor?

67_C-30 · 05-22-2008, 01:28 AM

This is definitely not a knock, because I love your truck, but that bad boy would would still have the V6 and black wheels if it were mine!

**special-K** · 05-22-2008, 02:19 AM

That motor`s not dirty.It`s a different truck now.

Sammy · 05-22-2008, 02:25 AM

Hmm I love them 4 eyes. Great truck.

72BlckButy · 05-22-2008, 02:34 AM

Looks good, glad to see that thing back on the road!

JAKES 68GMC · 05-22-2008, 04:49 AM

I kinda miss the black steelies alittle bit....but the slots look so much better IMO.

**FleetsidePaul** · 05-22-2008, 05:46 AM

Slot's Rule!!!! your truck is really looking great these days Jake.

JAKES 68GMC · 05-22-2008, 10:25 PM

Yeah, I just can't wait to get it painted, then its going to look really good. One of my friends dads is a good painter, and he said if I buy the paint and get the truck ready to paint, then he would do what little bodywork there is to be done and paint the truck for FREE. I can't really turn a deal like that down.

Thanks for the compliments guys.

**Hart_Rod** · 05-22-2008, 11:42 PM

Truck looks great! Is that a factory green color? I was thinking somthing similar on my crewcab, only with a white top.

JAKES 68GMC · 05-23-2008, 02:55 AM

No its not the factory green. Its some sort of crappy faded green re-paint. Originally it was a gross-looking baby blue color.
