Check out Chief 68 GMC

Well fellas tell me what you think. 68 GMC inline 6. 3 spd on the tree.


My plans are a 350-454 Power Plant. And backing it with a Muncy 4spd. Wheels I have not decided yet. I wanna take it down about 2inch in front and 1.5 in the rear.

Re: Check out Chief 68 GMC

Good find on the truck, whats that price above the phone# looks like you got a deal on it!
I bought a swb 72 w the 6 banger and 3 on the tree once and my son and I put it in the shop up on jackstands and removed everything under it from the 2flu radiator back to the 410 peg leg rearend.
We went back with a 4flu radiator,402BB,400Turbo,373 posi, power str. power brakes,headers,titlt column, 93 model seat and dropped it 2" in the front and 2" in the rear............
Dam we miss that truck!
Good luck,
keep us updated on the progress..........
