Hello everybody, my name is Mark and I currently reside in Sacramento, CA. A friend recommended this as I'm in the market for a 67-72 Chevy/GMC P/K and I'm currently negotiating for a truck with a member of this site. I look forward to being able to glean valuable information from this site and hopefully contribute as well.

JAY from Duncanville, TX. Recently purchased a Pro-Street 67 SWB. I'm converting rear from coil-overs to air-ride(too much bounch for my Honey to ride in!). Ladder bar with 9". I'll shoot some picts of the operation. Got to be done soon though, "Bluebonnet Cruise" coming up Aprl 8th! The "real" project is a ground up 46 Burb Street Rod. Appears to be lots of experience and wisdom on this site.

Hi everyone...
Haven't posted yet, I guess I've been a member for a bit. I have a 77 GMC swb 4x4.
4 inch lift, 35"s, 350/w350 trans. 208 case, 12 bolt and 44 axels. Warn 8274, billet grill, and lots of billet interior. Clear tails, keyless entry alarm, best mod!!
I've done everything on this truck, stock on 31's when I got it. But I have alot of other things taking up my time, so she doesn't do much right now. Anyway.....check my cardomain, page 4 I think. I will post more pics soon also.

Hi all-

My name's Mark, and I'm in northern California rebuilding a 1970 3/4 ton 4X4 p/u. Truck has always been in my family (my father drove it home from the dealer) and over the time it's been mine it's shown me why my grandfather (the original owner) refused to sell it. Pretty basic truck, but has the 350. Right now I'm replacing the bed (old one was badly battered hauling flagstone off a rockslide in Wyoming which a civil engineer swore could never be accessed by road). Looking to keep it as original as possible/feasible, though I went ahead and replaced the original split rims with solid wheels (got tired of breaking them down myself and all the odd looks I got at tire shops when I asked for radial tubes and flaps). The more I learn about this truck the happier I am- I really would like to make it into a good-looking daily driver... :cool:

I'm so glad that someone actually took the time to put this site together, I've liked this style forever. Right now we have three, they are nice but not quite show quality. Just something to enjoy. I'm currently in Kuwait,so for the meantime I have to slow down with the trucks.

Name is Eric and I own a few of the 67-72 Chevy and GMC era now several in the past. Current project being a 68 C20 I have a extra 1/2 ton SB frame and plan to combine the two. The only reason for this being that i haven't seen one. I have seen 1/2 tons with 3/4 ton axles on 4x4 trucks but this will be different. The powerplant is interesting and really seems to work well. 72 350 4 bolt main .030 over forged flat tops Vortec heads machined for .550 lift clearance. If you get the oppurtunity check out the Edlebrock "Air Gap" intake. They really do work well across the band. Hopefully i will get my act together and get some pics online to share with everybody such as you have. These trucks are about all I do if anybody has any question for me I would certainly be glad to be of service. Hey does anybody have a 14 bolt diff carrier they want to sell! :fb:

Hi My name is mike and i just became a member.It was because of James Blankton that i became aware of this forum. A member turned me on to this because Lone Oak Blankton ripped me off on ebay In a weird way it seems like it was worth it now that I know this site exists except it cost me alot of money. I have a 65 chev project truck.

Hi All,

I'm an industrial mechanic from Baltimore, MD and own a 1971 3/4 ton Chev, a 1946 GMC 1/2 and early 1947 GMC which is going to be a parts donor for the 46. The 71 is my daily driver and is replacing my 86 Chev 1/2 ton.

Any body have an idea as to where I might find info on the rear in my 71? I suspect it is an Eaton full floater, but can't confirm it or find a parts breakdown for it.
