1971 GMC Purchase
I have had the truck for about a month now......it has taken that long to be approved to post new threads on this forum.

Bought the truck in Ogden, UT and drove it home to Yukon, OK....had to replace the fuel pump in the hotel parking lot in Goodland, KS, otherwise no issues.

Re: 1971 GMC Purchase
Sweet truck...that would have been a great road trip! Should have stopped by the VoTech school they talk about on TV and have the kids swap out the fuel pump

Re: 1971 GMC Purchase
Looks like a great truck! Not picking it apart at all but I have one question- are you sure its a '71? Was it previously restored or is it a survivor? The accelerator pedal linkage has me wondering- looks like '70 & older linkage for the floor mounted pedal pad.
