[dbrown1992]

Hi guys I have a 1967 gmc 3/4 ton long bed with the 305e and a th400, truck has power steering, power brakes and factory ac. I was just courious to see if the truck is rare at all?

Welcome Dbrown1992;

Sounds like a nicely optioned truck; does it have the small back window?
Also curious if it has the support rods from the oil pan to the transmission?
How about some photos to share?

I don't have any exact figures, but to give you a rough idea the 305E was probably the most common engine in '67 2500's. The Turbo 400 would be less common than a manual transmission, but many were built. Power steering and brakes make the truck a little more rare, but factory A/C in a '67 isn't too common. Is the truck a Custom? Does it have body side moldings and a large rear window? Chrome bumpers and grille?

Though the 305E may have been the most common in 67, there are not that many around today. As usual many haved been Chivied with that ubiquitous small block V8. In 67 for the first time there was a large mix of Chevrolet engines in GMC Trucks such as the 230,250 & 292 inline sixes and 283,327 & 396 V8's along with GMC's 305E and 351E V6 engines. I would consider 1967-69 V6 powered pickup as rare today, it was the last of the breed of real GMC pickups.

A note on those support rods, if those trucks were not equipped with them there was a recall issued to have them installed.

Funky61, it does have the small window, chrome front bumper and chrome side molding, we just recently picked up a good running 1965 305 motor and 4 speed with a Holley carb and Petronix ignition

Welcome to the forum! You'll find that Bob Bray and Pete Chronis (bigblockV6) are very knowledgeable about the V6 engine in general, and 1967 to 1969 V6 powered trucks in particular. The 1967 pickup is my favorite due to 3 things: the only year of the '67 to '72 series with the small back window, the only year of this series with no side marker lights, and the low profile hood it shares with the '68 models. I do, however, prefer the '60 to '66 style Suburbans.

That being said, I do agree that your truck with that combination of options is pretty rare and well worth hanging onto.

I see you're only about 180 miles north of me. If you ever get down this way, let me know when you're coming.

Whatever you do...please leave it stock!

So I had a few questions about this truck, I put a Holley 500 on it and it uses a different air filter housing and there is a breather tube that was attached to the cover can I move it? And also does this truck have a crankcase breather filter in it?

[BobBray]

Usually, if there is a breather pipe to the air cleaner, the engine does not have a breather filter. The breather filter would be in a small can behind the left cylinder head.
