I've been thinking of a GMC to play with, but would rather have 1-ton or smaller really.
Second truck is 53ish 2-ton, runs good, and has a two cyl lift on flatbed. $850. Seems like a better buy overall, but I want that GMC engine.
I have a 69 tilt-cab I could trade, which is worth more than either of these trucks. I don't have the money, but have this truck. It needs some work to drive also, but does drive if careful with it.
So, what you think? GMC or Chevy? Wife says NONE! I'm trying to hold back, but sold all my trucks cept one now, bought a Fird pick=up for my driver for now, Help me!

As for the wife you had one truck and would come up with two so you hoard of precious metal is increaseing.

Check the engine size next to the Dist....engines tend to get replaced.
Nother idea....you can easily shorten the w/b and make these trucks really short and fun to drive | | | | | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 332 Big Bolt Shop Curmudgeon | | Big Bolt Shop Curmudgeon Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 332 | Buy both, then sell the "F" truck (if one would go so far as to call it a truck!)
