Any how it’s a heck of a learning experience .

That is interesting. What are the things other than V6, power steering, and drive shaft that were not typical 67-72? I have heard the leaf springs are stiff and the GMCs don't have the same rides-like-a-car suspension because they were considered the harder working cousins to the Chevys. I wonder if people often swap out the whole rear suspension from a Chevy parts truck.
