ca180 · 09-06-2008, 01:52 AM

mine is somehwere, probably the bottom of a salvage. Cracked head did it in.

Mr79C10 · 09-06-2008, 07:03 AM

Im here

bigblock73 · 09-06-2008, 08:44 AM

I am here, with my new 77. 6 cylinder auto

jdurant · 09-06-2008, 02:12 PM

I really want one for a daily driver.
Are parts hard to find? What kind of gas milieage are they capable of and with what trannies?

Mr79C10 · 09-06-2008, 03:44 PM

Im getting around 13ish mpg with a 3 speed. Last fill up with a tune up was 13.6 mpg.
Daily driver too.

S10Fan · 09-06-2008, 04:50 PM

Couldn’t tell you what the gas mileage is, my speedometer is disconnected. Floor shift mechanism is in the way, it’s on my list.

My 6 is the integrated head 250, but I do have an older 250 head and most all the other parts I need to convert it.

My grill emblem is a 454, I tell folks it is a 454, minus 204.

f.monroe · 09-06-2008, 06:44 PM

S10 ,that old heap has a great look and stance to it .

BB73 , Nice truck ! I didnt know you had that one .

gimmefuel · 09-06-2008, 09:58 PM

Mine is sitting on the side of the house, just removed the 250 due to a blown head gasket. Pulled the integrated head off, the exhaust manifold was cracked 2/3's of the way around just in front of the heat riser. Took a good look at the block deck and found a crack in the block about two inches long.

Pulled the block and layed it to the side, pulling a 350 from another truck to replace it. First part of the transformation.

In fact my truck is the exact same color as Mr79C10, don't have any pic's as of yet. I guess this is a great time to start.

jdurant · 09-07-2008, 12:47 AM

s10fan--
I know I've said it before, but I really love that truck. That is exactly what I want--an early 70s stepside with a straight six--perfect daily and I need a stepper to complete my collection.
My wife would leave me...

I'll miss her.

**tkeduk8r** · 09-07-2008, 09:57 AM

nice truck jeff.. i miss my old 250 at times... i'll do another one someday....
--Mike

79GMC_OLDS · 09-08-2008, 07:21 AM

not an original 6 banger but i hope a 5.9 cummins still counts

87Bob · 09-08-2008, 07:51 AM

Maybe one day someone will put one of those 5 cylinder (in line) with an overdrive. It would be interesting to see how the power and fuel mileage would work out in an old square body. A buddy has a new Colorado with one in there and he loves the power and mileage plus the way it cuts back on the cylinders when not under a load.

manimal · 09-08-2008, 09:00 AM

S10FAN....what drop is on your truck. That is SWEET!

seanconnery · 09-08-2008, 09:43 AM

I'm here. 1981 GMC Sierra Grande. 250 with an automatic and 122,XXX original miles. What is an integrated head?

EN*PN78 · 09-08-2008, 06:39 PM

Inliner for Life. I own a blue flame 235 in my 53 chev car. 250 in my truck. Just got a free 250 with 42,000 OG miles going in this winter. My engine now must have 273,000 shes tried. But daily driven.

That's a bada$$ looking truck there, S10. I have a 350 in my '73 that I've never heard run(not sure how good it is). If it happens to be bad, I have a fresh 250 on a stand in the corner of the shop that I'll put in...if need be. I like them old sixes...

Thanks! Ya know, I'm a V8 guy to the core but there's something really cool about in-line 6's.

Thanks, I've been admiring your "fleet" since I joined the site!

**N2TRUX** · 09-08-2008, 08:16 PM

I like em all, but Old Heap you nailed it....

brendonak · 09-09-2008, 02:07 PM

man, i can't wait to get my hands on a square body with a six!

i would guess with an overdrive muncie and a set of headers and a clifford performance intake it would scoot! probably get decent mileage too

manimal · 09-10-2008, 09:27 AM

Keep 'em comin! I know there are more inliners here.
