Ken O Posted February 25, 2016 Report Posted February 25, 2016 I haven't been on here much since I picked up this 67 GMC 1/2 ton 4x4 a couple months ago. It needs some tlc but I got it running pretty good and it doesn't have any rust so I'm pretty happy so far. Did some motor work, distributor, new carb, plugs wires, alternator, starter, brakes front & back. Needs some front axle work or a new front axle whichever is cheaper. Right after I bought this one the transmission went out on the 96 chevy truck so I had to scramble to get this one up and running so I could get back & forth to work. I sold these tires & wheels and got smaller ones that actually FIT! Next is to drop the 6 inch lift down to 2.5 inches. It will eventually get a paint job and get fixed up, nothing fancy, just a nice daily driver. Falcon, Phantom Scroller, Scrolling Steve and 1 other 4 Quote
Lucky2 Posted February 25, 2016 Report Posted February 25, 2016 Ken, I would love to own an old truck like that. Most people like to rebuild cars, not me, I'm a truck person. Have fun! Len Quote

jerry1939 Posted February 25, 2016 Report Posted February 25, 2016 Glad you found it Sir. The repairs/tune up you mentioned are not at all out of line for a '96. I like the old saying: When buying a used vehicle, the first thing you do is press all the buttons on the radio. If they are set to Rap Music, the transmission is shot. Find one where the radio is set to Classical Music. jerry Quote
jbrowning Posted February 25, 2016 Report Posted February 25, 2016 I think that would look great pulling my 1971 Terry Travel Trailer. Good find. Jim Quote
