Its a '53 GMC Dual Wheel 4 sp w/single R/end
Serial number: 253 22 P 2550
GVW: 8800 Net HP: 90 @3200 RPM
So by the GWV alone my charts tell me it must be a 3800 series. Only the 3800 series has GVW of 8800.
THe truck is stunningly beautifull. Ill post some pics as soon as I figure out where they go.
It is fully restored (cosmetically) but the engine has a bad rap in the bottom and needs rebuilt.
In now reading the formus for swapping out this particular truck's engine and tranny for an automatic w/OD and modern V8 such as a 350cid
I have a feeling this is gonna get real expensive becasue of the 6v -> 12v conversion and the use of computers in the newer drivetrains.
