GMC build thread:
old truck, cracked head pan, full of antifreeze, old race engine never ran, older rusty engine in dirt, lots of work and a few cool bits, truck almost done.

Thats a good summery!

I like to read about that straight 6. Different and and cool! Love the carbs and headers. I read a bit on it but need to go back.

I now own like 3 more GMCs, 2-302s and another 270. Still need a 5 carb intake. They still race them at bonnieville

Most people have a misconception of what a sectioned car is.
Notice the "speed streak" coming off of the headlight and fades away at the door?
See how much area is in between that and the fender opening?
Here is a stock one.

Stopped by the shop. Even after adding another chunk of 1/2" Mallory my machinist had to weld on the leading edge of the counter weights. This is a used crank so I don't know what they did before to balance it. Drill the the flywheel or ?

I keep thinking about these in 15x5 or 15x6 with 225 70 and 15x8 with 275 60s
