Re: Francis the Tow Pig - 1949 GMC 250 Dually

Looks like I need to update this thread a little.

Cleaned up some of the wiring in the engine bay, installed the headliner, a peep mirror, and took the '49 to a car show in Holton, KS. Had a lot of interest in the truck, brought some business in for the shop hopefully.

After multiple projects at once in the shop, it had become quite cluttered. I took an opportunity to use some downtime to clean and rearrange. Also had a chance to hang my new "Old Glory"...60 ft/sq of awesome!

I'm very pleased with how the pickup runs down the highway. It cruises at 68mph turning around 2400rpm. I was going to swap the 3.73's for a set of 3.23's, but I think I'll keep the lower gears, makes it more fun around town.

Now I need to do window/door/cab seals and put in some AC.
