my ?,s are about the gmc. it has the original 6 cylinder and four speed. the bed has the side mount spare and fender . the rims are 6 lug of course, but look to be 2 or 3 piece rims. is this stock for gmc,s? ALSO is the rearend the same as the chevys from that year range and what might the ratio be?
thanks and i hope to haul them home this week and will link pic,s of them.
p.s. both trucks are red and there is a bull in the field with them. may take a clown with a barrel along.

Unless it's been changed, it will have a 270 engine. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 1,897 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 1,897 | The gmc should have a spicer in it. If it was a 4 speed it should have 3.90 gears. If it was a 3 speed it should have 3.08 gears.
Assuming the 270 hasn't been changed for a chevy motor, the valve cover will be held on by 2 bolts, and there will be GMC stamped on the valve cover with the "flying M" design. | | |
