79 GMC K3500 Crew Cab

Are you actually in Loup County, or are those the previous owner's plates? I don't think I am going to buy it currently, but I have made it known to several of my friends, to see if they want it.

Those are the PO's plates. Let me know. I'll bring it east if they want it.

Tell me what you want to see and I'll get more pic's. I'll shoot a couple shots of the T-Case. The fuel pump seems bad and I'm going to replace it and it should run good. Sounds really good when it runs but only stays running for 30sec. Basically as long as there's fuel in the line between carb and pump. I've been filling it,then hooking to carb and it will run that way.

A/C system appears complete.


I really wish I had the cash.....

A tip for ya :D...... if the fuel line has say a whole in it and the gas evaporates over say a few days when you try to start a vehicle all the gas is out of the line from the tank to the carb.... take a air hose with a rag and stick it down in the filler neck of the gas tank... hit the air and let it sit for say 45 seconds... (that will pressurize the tank and line forcing the fuel up to the fuel pump and carb)... she will start... pressurizeing the system will also show a good wet spot around where the leak is so a pin hole or bad fuel line can be easily found.... It is hard for a mechnical pump to pump enough gas from the tank... fill the lines... and run the vechile...

This really was useful a few weeks ago I was working on a buds CJ5 :doah: (why I was working on that terd who knows) but it really saved tons of time moving that thing around until I could replace the bad fuel lines....

Good luck and wish I could buy your crew cab.....
 
Thanks for the tip. I've done that with an 86 K30 6.2 diesel we have but never thought about doing it here :o.

I've got to get my other Burb from Wichita sometime in the next two months. How close to York do you think you could get it? I'd pay the cost to replace the T-case if it gets it sold. Needs to be able to drive to Minot North Dakota towing a Burb.
 
Let me see about getting it tuned up a bit and see where we're at. I can probably get a rear case half for free or cheap. That's all it needs unless one wants to put a 205 in it. Give me a few days and see if I can get it running good and I'll get back to you.
