[QUOTE="PanhandleGlocker, post: 3616735, member: 25311"] Inherited my Grandads 1972 GMC 2500. Technically I guess he gave it to me before he passed but we could never find the time or the nice weather to work on it together. As a kid I rode with him in this truck to the local convenience store quite often where he would buy me a sprite and a Milky Way candy bar. I remember watching him siphon gas out of this pickup when he needed gas to put in one of his grain trucks. Lots of memories. It was a farm truck for years. Plan is to get her off propane and back to strictly gasoline. If the inside of the bed isn’t in bad shape I’ll try to save it, if it’s beyond repair I may weld up a flatbed for it. Kinda want to relocate the gas tank, not a huge fan of a tank full of gas behind the seat but then again I rode harleys and was never bothered by 5 gallons between my legs. Lot of body work to do. Interior work as well. Not sure if I’ll do a frame off restoration. Asked [USER=15054]@swampratt[/USER] about the motor this thing has in it and was told it is a Big Block 400. Probably gonna pull it and overhaul it. Maybe get some more power out of it. thanks for looking.
