Vehicle Original VIN : 152PS6312B
At some point in the last 20 years, four-wheel-drive became common on new light trucks while manual gearboxes and dash-mounted ashtrays became a rarity. [ omitted ]. The front drive axle in the package was fitted with tubes modified for constant velocity joints, thus allowing the wheels to steer, and the transfer case was a divorced unit, driven via a shaft off the transmission, so it could be mounted without altering or adapting to the stock powertrain.
NAPCO conversions date at least as far back as the 1947-'55 (first series) GM light trucks. However, prior to 1955, only one-ton and three-quarter-ton trucks could be converted, because half-ton trucks used a torque-tube style driveshaft that wasn't easily adapted to a transfer case. [ omitted ]. The pictures say it all, you'll be hard-pressed to find a nicer GMC of this era! Purchased by the current owner in 2001, they spent over 16 years on the restoration, going over every detail..
