Re: How Many Of You Drive Your 60-66 Trucks Daily?

Some days I don't go any place. and Ive got several to drive. However my rough & ready 66 GMC gets used the most. hauling Wood pulling trailers. Its a stock 250 factory granny 4 speed Lb fleetside. Im gonna take it apart this summer put a stepside bed and 5 hole disk brake front end ,dual master cyl & 5 hole rear end from a 84 truck. I want a bit taller rear gear. It will still pull with the SM 420 Muncie granny low. the GMC,s rear leaf springs make the five hole rear swap easy. also I add a 60 thru 62 heater. I just don't like the 63 thru 66 heaters. and the way its attached under the hood its in the way. It appears to have been a afterthought poor design. and they don't keep you very warm. Maybe ill install the bigger 3 flange exhaust manifold from a 292 & HEI ignition. The truck already has the big radiator. If it didn't I would change that . No such thing as too big a radiator.
