Re: 61 GMC Project-Slow and steady

The guy I bought i from thought it was a 3/4 ton, but a 1 ton is just as good to me! I thought that bed looked a little long, but wasnt sure if they had a 9ft back then. Thats cool I guess. Can any of you tell by the pics if it has power stering? Cant see a pump myslef but that sterring wheel looks small. At least smaller than my non-power 71. I also didnt know untill some reading on here that these had hydralic clutches. Worked on a 63 chev I used to have in HS and is was mechanical. A truck this old will be a learnig project for me for sure. Im only 23 so too young to know too much... I mean carbs are one thing, but 6volt, generators, and points, that will be something new. Never even seen points Dont get me wrong I have been through Diesel tech have more money in tools than alot of people do houses, decent mechanic, but just foregin to the oldies Pre-71 anyway. I want to learn them and will be counting on this forum!
