Searched the archives and did find mention of orginal tool kits under Brads 41-46 Chevy. Would like to find the proper tools for my 48 1-ton. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 1,571 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 1,571 | This recently came up on the GMC forums, you might want to look there. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 267 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 267 | i think i saw a tool kit in the parts for sale or ebay section a while back that had a picture of a complete kit.maybe some one who is good at that search thing could help.(

Tool canvas pouch to hold above tools. Also standard a jack with handle. I have the correct end wrenches, screw driver, sparkplug wrench and pouch I would be willing to part with for $60.00 plus shipping.

All the tools are the original "Vlchek" tools.

This was discussed in-depth in the GMC forums a while back, the answers should be there. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | | | | | | Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 1,571 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 1,571 | Thanks - I was too lazy to go look it up. :p | | |
