I inherited my fathers 69 GMC Stepside Model CS1570C, has an excellent running 250 inline 6 cylinder, 3 speed automatic, I plan on doing a complete original body restoration and keep it as original as I can as this truck holds a lot of memories. I'm open to all ideas and suggestions as I am new to restoring.

There is an allure for a 327 in a shortbed smallwindow stepside that's flat out cool. I will admit. So I'll ask about the L6 that came out... Was it a 230? 230 L6 heads were supposed to be tighter and have smaller stuff -- making for a free compression boost if bolted on a larger L6 like a 292. If they don't blow up. 250 is the most common. MY 1967 was the last year for 230s in trucks. The 292 [4.8L] started in MY 1963. And continued until the GMT 400. I've been a Desert Dog since '71.:chevy::ito: |

My recently acquired '72 Cheyenne.
It's been setting in a friends barn for the last 29 years. He had it painted and was having difficulty installing a wood bed kit, lost interest, and there it sat. I first saw it about 15 years ago. It was covered in cobwebs and dirt and not much to look at. The bed was loose. Two of the boards were missing and one was drilled wrong. When I brought it home I purchased 3 red oak boards at Home Depot and finished the bed. Last week I rebuilt the brakes and yesterday I rebuilt the Quadrajet. It's running well now. The tires have no miles on them but are dated 1994. They are out of round from sitting with low air pressure for decades. Tires, belts and hoses are next on the list of things to fix. https://www.567chevyclub.com/images/C10/C10-bed-4.jpg https://www.567chevyclub.com/images/C10/Interior.jpg https://www.567chevyclub.com/images/C10/C10-bed-3.jpg https://www.567chevyclub.com/images/C10/C10-3.jpg |

After cleaning and oiling the advance weights and installing lighter springs I now have 18° mechanical advance all in at 3200 RPM. I also installed a new "B1" vacuum advance can with a limiter set to 16°. It's still running points which is fine with me. I set the initial advance at 18° giving me a total advance of 36°. A new kit in the Quadrajet stopped the pig rich problem it was having. It fired right up and idled smooth. After some minor carburetor adjustments I took it for a test drive. The old 350 is running great and is much more fun to drive after the tune-up. Next on the list is fix the fuel and temperature gauge, new tires, and a wheel alignment. After that i will tackle the air conditioning. |

That engine bay looks to be very original. Cal smog pump and manifold stove pipe. And a pretty valuable proportioning valve. A really nice time capsule. Be sure to keep this one original. Good reference example. Very nice truck.
