I owe this to you guys
 
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. :lol:

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

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. :D

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!

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

Re: I owe this to you guys
 
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.

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

Re: I owe this to you guys
 
No its not the factory green. Its some sort of crappy faded green re-paint. Originally it was a gross-looking baby blue color.
