Thank you for looking at my 1967 GMC. This truck started life as a 3/4 ton truck . After a dozen plus years sitting on a farm in nebraska, I acquired this truck and began the hot rod project on it. The 3/4 ton suspension was shed in favor of half ton suspension. The donor vehicle for the suspension was a 1974 chevy truck (1500). The bumpers have been tucked and the rear bumper was notched for the exhaust tips. Power is produced by a 355 with a four bolt main, speedpro 10:1 pistons, COMP 268H camshaft, and a set of 487x heads. The engine is topped with a weiand action plus intake. Fuel is supplied by a 600 Edelbrock carb. The transmission is a five speed Getrag Manual from a 1996 chevy truck, The clutch is hydraulic. The truck has power steering. Stopping is achieved through a manual, hydraulic brake system. The front brakes use the rotors and the rear brakes use the drum system from the 1974 chevy truck. The radiator is an aftermarket aluminum unit from speedway. The rear differential is all original from the 1974 chevy and the gear ratio is unknown. The exhaust flows from the headers to the glass pack mufflers and exits out of the back of the truck through a nice set of chrome tips. The fuel tank is from a boat and holds about 22 gallons of fuel. The tank is mounted below the tool box and fills through the toolbox. The vent system could be improved as it is sometimes difficult to fill the tank. The truck has a new windshield and gasket. The windows are operated by the power units, POWER WINDOWS, and controlled by up down switches on the dash. The heater is mounted under the seat and is controlled by a primitive switch behind the the shifter. The heater unit is from the rear area of a retired ambulance. The seat is from a 1989 chevy truck. There is a burn hole in the seat from welding slag. The rockers and cab corners are new. The bodywork is a little rough. The truck is in the early stages of bodywork and shows alot through the satin black paint. The windshield wiper motor also is a little weak. The wipers move across the windshield slowly. This is a functional truck. I use it to haul all kinds of stuff from engines and car parts to an occasional load of brush to the dump. It has a digital speedo that i could not get to work. it has the correct speed sensor. Maybe you will have better luck with it. My number is 712-326-8213. Please try to call after 5 PM central time.

GM recall woes continue with 662,000 pickups trucks and Cruze sedans
Sat, 29 Mar 2014General Motors can't seem to get its name out of the "bad news" column. Two more recalls were announced late Friday evening that will see The General calling in 490,200 fullsize pickup trucks and SUVs, along with 172,000 Chevrolet Cruze models.
For those keeping track, General Motors has issued recalls for an alarming 4.8 million vehicles so far since last month.
The Chevy Silverado 1500, Tahoe and Suburban, GMC Sierra 1500 and Yukon models from the 2014 and 2015 model years are being recalled for a flaw in their transmissions wherein loose oil cooler lines may cause a fire. The automaker said in a statement (see below) that it knows of three incidents of loose transmission lines causing problems, but no injuries. We can't confirm whether it was this transmission issue that caused the widely publicized blaze that consumed a 2015 GMC Yukon that was being test driven in California.
Should heavy-duty pickup trucks have window stickers with fuel mileage estimates?
Sat, Sep 23 2017If you were to stroll into your nearest Chevrolet, Ford, GMC, Nissan, or Ram dealership, you'd find a bunch of pickup trucks. Most of those would have proper window stickers labeled with things like base prices, options prices, location of manufacture, and, crucially, fuel economy estimates. But you'd also run across a number of heavy-duty trucks with no such fuel mileage data from the Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA doesn't require automakers to publish the valuable miles-per-gallon measurement for vehicles with gross weight ratings that exceed 8,500 pounds. That makes it difficult for consumers to compare behemoths powered by turbocharged diesel engines – between one another, and between smaller, gasoline-fueled trucks. Consumer Reports doesn't think it should be this way, and it's spearheading an effort (PDF link) to get the government to require manufacturers to publish fuel economy estimates. In its own testing, CR found that heavy-duty pickups powered by Ford's Power Stroke, GM's Duramax, and FCA's Cummins diesel engines (which doesn't include the Ram's EcoDiesel) get worse fuel mileage than their lighter-duty gas-powered siblings. We're not so sure HD-truck buyers are unaware of this fact – big diesels don't really come into their own until big loads are placed in their beds or attached to their trailer hitches. Under heavy workloads, the diesel trucks will almost certainly return greater efficiency than a similar gas-powered truck. What's more, HD trucks with lumbering diesels in general make the driver feel more confident while towing due to greater torque at low engine RPM than gas trucks. They also offer greater max-weight limits. Still, we agree EPA fuel mileage estimates should be offered for heavy-duty pickups. And we think the comparisons provided by Consumer Reports might be interesting to potential buyers. Click here to see the results of CR's tests, and let us know what you think using the poll below.

2014 GMC Sierra
Wed, 12 Jun 2013Is the Best GMC Truck Ever Made Good Enough?
We've got a bright aluminum Airstream camper hitched to our rear bumper as we head up Southern California's coast because GMC says that 60 percent of all full-size pickup owners will use their trucks for towing.
Rather than forcing us to absorb its capabilities in a long-winded PowerPoint presentation, the automaker brought us to Los Angeles and handed us the keys to its all-new 2014 GMC Sierra 1500. After jumping behind the wheel of a 5.3-liter V8 model, we drove up the foggy Malibu coast (locals call the soggy early-summer weather "June Gloom") and made our way to the Camarillo Airport for a towing refresher. Once completed, a brand-new 23-foot Airstream was hitched to our aft end and we were pointed towards a campground just west of Santa Barbara.
