It is a Canadian GMC 960, which as far as I can determine it is equivilant to the US version of the 4 or 5000 series truck

I thought I'd link to it in case you big bolt specialists don't wander over there.

Yea, that's me, I should have looked where I was posting. Here is a link to a couple pictures of my truck.

My \'66 GMC 960 COE

How's the 292 run?
That is some interesting plumbing up on top.
Is that a surge tank for the radiator?

heya drunknpukin,
I wasn't being anal or anything, just trying to make sure the right folks saw your post. When ya join a new forum it takes a little while to keep the feel or things... or figure out where things are.

Yip that would be the surge tank. Ya, interesting layout that's for sure! Motor runs great, I didn't know it was a 292, I guess I am still trying to figure this thing out. Seeing that this truck was probably used a lot on the highway, I am surprised that it doesn't have a two speed axle, it is just a 4 spd. What's with that?

I just posted more info to your post in the engine and driveline section.

The 292's are easy because of the tall side covers. Also the fuel pump and right side motor mount positions are reversed from the smaller Chevy sixes.
Compare to a 230 or 250 which look alike from the outside.
The 2 speed rear was probably optional.
Maybe it wasn't bought for heavy loads in hilly areas. Not an expert on 2 speeders but I believe they were low and lower, not really intended for highway use.
