Truck gods indeed! No word yet about the classified ad as the fella hasn’t returned my calls. 😕 However... I dropped my seat off yesterday to get steam cleaned before installation. It was a 20 minute drive from home. I dropped it off and decided to take the back roads home. Unfamiliar roads are fun to spot old trucks hiding in the trees!
Anyway, I passed an acreage and I spotted a couple chassis with cabs sitting on them a ways off the road. I recognized the rad support from one as a 67-72 gmc. Skiiiiiiddddd. I stopped, turned around and drove into the yard. As I drove in I spotted more Chev/gmc 67-72 trucks and parts around the yard. One in particular caught my eye. A 3/4 ton with a shifter on the column... auto ? Manual? I couldn’t see from the distance.
I knocked at the front door. No answer. A newer truck was parked there but no answer. So I got out a notepad and wrote a detailed note about me, who I am, my project, my search, etc. I stuck my note in the door crack and left.
Well, I got a text message today from the fellow and he says that he very likely has that 4.10 gear set somewhere and he will let me know tomorrow! Fingers crossed!
