Default Re: 1962 GMC 4x4 Fenderside - What do you see?

Hi and welcome aboard!!! Well, first off, I would be scouting out the correct year fenderside bed for it. You have a 67-72 bed on it, so I'd be looking for a 60-66 chevy or GMC bed. If you get a chevy bed then you'll just have to find a GMC tailgate. Then I would be swapping the 292 out for a big V6. Or if I kept the 292 I'd be doing modifications to it because that's something I love doing to them. lol Truck looks to be in Darn good shape and looks like it originally came with a 305 V6. Lotta people swapped out the v6 for a straight 6 because the straight 6 pulled faster, but nothing can beat the longevity of those big v6 engines. Adding more fuel and splitting the exhaust is one of the best things you can do to a V6. Anyhow! Whatever you decide to do will be a good plan.
