Just a little more background. I bought the GMC out of the Kenny's Klunckers section of Old Cars Weekly a couple years ago. It was advertised as "rusty but runs good" and the price was $750. It had the original 327 with 97xxx miles and the Quadrajet had recently been rebuilt. I bought it (primarily for the 327) intending to use it as a donor truck. I drove it from Illinois to Maryland and am getting some use out of it. It has just over 100,000 miles on it now. At some point in the future it may become a donor to the C10. If that happens, I'll have everything I need to do the job right.
