man i thought my eyes were playing tricks on me there 67_c-30. i am glad you had 1 good pic of the truck. if these are the pictures that they are useing on ebay to sell it, ten all i have to say is good luck! it is too bad that they are blurred as the truck looks interesting.....

[Pas Dually]

I have a 1987 GMC Dually, 454, 4 speed, 4-10's. It is great to find a site where there are other 1 Ton people. The 87 I have seem's rare as I haven't been able to find a lot of trucks like it. Would like to see other trucks like mine as I am getting to paint in the spring and would like some ideas. If there are any 1 Ton clubs could someone drop me an address.

[67_C-30]

Pas Dually. I guess this thread is the closest thing to a Dually club that I know of! I guess maybe we should all start one. Our slogan could be "If it ain't got 6 wheels, it ain't Sheyot!!"

No it is a GT-37. Here is a link to the page. http://bassettracing.cz28.com/photo6.html It has the history of the GT-37. The GT-37 was basically a T-37 with a GT package that included stripes, factory hood pins and badges. It is very rare to find a GT-37 with as many options as my car has. they were usually sripped models.

hey 67_c-30 that is very cool! i don't ever recall reading about that model before. it has to be rare! i wonder why they were made? i thought that the t-37 was the answer for higher insurance car of the day. it seems that this was a gto in sheeps clothing! very cool though.....i will look for some more info on it. i found this link after i wrote this originally. check it out 67

as for the 1 ton club we could be on to something here. we could maybe ask josh to make a new link for 1 tons. just like the picture link and the engine and drivetrain link. that way we could get everybody in 1 spot. just a thought.... i guess we will see what happens.

thats pretty much what i want to build next year. i've got a line on a 84 1 ton dually 4x4 crew cab chassis, and want to put a 50's chevy/gmc cab on it with a nice long flatbed.

[teamroper!]

Does the one ton have to be a 67-72 to join the club?

Count me in, I am in love with dual wheels.

Cool pic!!! When was that taken?? It looks like the trucks were like new!!!

[Dooley]

That pic was taken in Sept.1980. In those days I usually bought a new pickup every other year. A friend down the road had bought my 77 I had gotten in the fall of 76 from me in Sept.78 and I was waiting for the new owner of my 79 to show up for delivery in that pic. He never showed up! I kept the 79 truck longer than most. I have never had to trade a pickup in as I always find a buyer for the old one. That sure helped in those days. I currently have a 1988 V-30 that I have held on to! Please forgive the terrible pics as I'm still learning how to post them!

[7gmc2]

man dooley that is awesome! gota figure even for 1980 that picture is worth about 100,000! you should photo shop that picture and restore it. would look cool mounted and framed. as for the napco. it is more than welcome!

[Dooley]

Thanks guys. All 3 of them had the 400/400 setup. The Colonial Yellow 77 had 4.10 gears and the 79/80 trucks had 3.73's. The 77 remained as a full time 203/4wd. The 79 I installed an S.A.E. Part Time conversion with Husky Selectro hubs. The 1980 was equipped with a 205 and Spicer Lockouts. I ordered all 3 with 7.50-16 tube type tires,(they came standard with 16.5), inside bed spare carrier,(I used the Jackman Grill Guard on the 77,then 79 to carry the spare since I used to haul a camper and pull a horse trailer), and the 77/79 both had wood floor beds. The 88 I still own is a 454/400/205 with 3.73 gear.

[James670X]

Dooley which rear diff. do you have in your 88?

[tnblazerk5]

i am trying to build a 1 ton truck heres what i am wanting to do
its a 69 1 ton 2 wheel drive frame and running gears i want to take all that stuff off and get rid of it and go with a newer 4x4 running gears stuff and put a 67 cab and front end on it (or as close to 67 as i can get )
heres sum pics of what i got so far lol i got to start sumwhere right anybody need any of the old 2 wheel drive stuff of this thing ?

[67_C-30]

I'd be interested in the transmission. I'm in Alabama, so driving up there would be no problem. What do you wnat for it?

[trixter99]

Here's a couple shots of my dad's 86 it has a ZZ 502 and a four speed I redid the whole truck six years ago and it's still holding up fairly well even though he does'nt look after it very well.The wiring is a mess, so I'm fixing that right now and it also needs a mjor cleaning and a tune-up I'll post pics better pics when the snow melts and I have it all cleaned up.
