1961 GMC TRUCK 4X4 4SPD MUNCIE TRANS 305 V6 DANA 44'S FRONT/REAR 35" TIRES RARE STYLE TRUCK PERIOD NOT TO MENTION IN THIS CONDITION. THE PLAN WAS TO SWAP IN A CHEVY V-8. I WAS ENJOYING THE LOOKS YOU GET IN ONE OF THESE STYLE TRUCKS UNTIL I DEVELOPED A KNOCK IN THE ENGINE BUT WASN'T IN LOVE WITH IT TO BEGIN WITH SO I BEGAN TO DO SOME RESEARCH ON SOME FORUMS ABOUT THE PROCESS OF THE SWAP WHEN I BEGAN TO REALIZE JUST HOW COOL IT IS TO HAVE A TRUCK LIKE THIS IN THIS CONDITION WITH THIS ENGINE IN IT. NOW I BEGAN TO HAVE SECOND THOUGHTS ABOUT THE SWAP AND STARTED TO LOOK OVER THE V6 TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING TO BE NEEDED TO JUST REBUILD IT. I PULLED THE VALVE COVERS AND FOUND NOTHING WORN OUT OR BROKEN JUST THE USUAL SLUDGE ON SOMETHING LIKE THIS. I DROPPED THE PAN AND FOUND THE MAIN/ROD BEARINGS WORN AND THE CRANK JOURNALS IN NEED OR TURNING BUT NO MORE THAN .010 WHICH IS PRETTY DAMN GOOD FOR A 52 YEAR OLD TRUCK. THIS TRUCK IS IN GREAT SHAPE WITH SOME OF THE USUAL RUST YOU CAN EXPECT BUT IN NO WAY IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN NOT BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED AND THE FRAME IS IN EXCELENT CONDITION. I WAS OFFERED 900 JUST FOR THE HOOD AND WAS TOLD I COULD PART THIS TRUCK OUT AND GET MORE THAN I AM ASKING BUT I REFUSE TO PART IT OUT. PLEASE DO NOT ASK BECAUSE THE ANSWER WILL BE NO. FINANCIAL REASONS CAUSE ME TO SELL BUT IT DOES NOT SEEM RIGHT TO PART OUT THIS TRUCK. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND I HOPE YOU CAN BID ON THIS OL' GIRL AND GET HER BACK ON HER FEET SO SHE DOEN'T FID HERSELF IN A FIELD OR A BARN FORGOTTEN AND ALONE!!! GOOD LUCK
