Default Re: Rarely seen 1966 "Sports Trim" equipped GMC 1000 found and saved

For the record I have the small back window. which I tend to like better...it also had the dual tank option with the toggle valve on the door sill area.

the truck originally came with a 351e and an automatic transmission both of which unfortunately are long gone.

It currently has a 500ci Eldorado Motor and a TH400 transmission. An interesting choice to say the least. I have narrowed the motor down to a 68-73 but have to get the numbers off the block to narrow it down further.

Waiting on a couple parts and hoses in the mail and will know by this weekend if it runs... if the motor needs to be swapped out I would strongly consider going back to the original set up but then again you can find a Chevy 350 engine on any street corner these days. (hope I don't get chastised for that remark)

Still kind of accessing what I have in total before I determine the ultimate direction. I love the idea of painting it but everyone that has seen it has raved about the patina so.. god only knows....

Any more questions or advice would be certainly apprecaited

Megan
