A pic stuffed intro thread
Right, so I'm not sure How I should introduce myself, but here it goes.My name is Blake, I'm a high schooler, I know next to nothing about cars, althogh since I received my truck for my birthday I have been trying to learn as much as I can about these trucks and automotive in general. The truck is a 1967 GMC K25. I don't know alot about it, though I do have the build sheet... er, well most of it that is. I know that it was originally equipped with a V6 but it was replaced with an I6, it's a four on the floor manual truck (obviously) and it has a winch that was also added sometime before purchasing the truck.
Onto the pics On it's way home, still covered in moss (horrible cell pic) http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3475/...f539d8.jpg?v=0 http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/i...d9d98b628c.jpg http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/i...26100acdcd.jpg Aw yeah, Gun rack http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3600/...666750.jpg?v=0 Those damned arm rests http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3441/...4ec5a5.jpg?v=0 I don't know why this is here or if it has power, but I don't mind it http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3661/...f33c18.jpg?v=0 under the hood http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3452/...5dbb70.jpg?v=0 The only bit of cancer on here (that I know of that is) http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3580/...8ed54d.jpg?v=0 http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3599/...efed02.jpg?v=0 does anybody know what that K&H thing is next to the steering wheel? http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3448/...a40b05.jpg?v=0 |

Re: A pic stuffed intro thread
Congrats and welcome!! I hope you find lots of userful info from all of us. Love the electrical box!!:lol:

Re: A pic stuffed intro thread
Thanks guys, I appreciate it, I'll probably be coming here alot for help, and big blazer boy, I'm not sure yet. I have a new fuel sending unit that I'm waiting to put in, and then the brakes need to be worked, then I'll probably end up waiting till summer before I do any serious work the body or interior. I've been throwing around some ideas but I want to wait until I have more of an idea of what i want and some more knowledge.

:welcome2: 2fat2furious...you come to the right place to learn about your classic truck. Read the above and you will see why these trucks have such a loyal following. :ennyd::wave::ennyd: |
Re: A pic stuffed intro thread
:cong:Welcome...

Re: A pic stuffed intro thread
Steve, you know you shouldn't be trying to buy stuff as an unsubscribed member.
2fat... welcome to the board, you've found the single best place for info and sources for parts on these trucks. Your GMC has some interesting bits... the custom badges on the fenders are a one year only, and a fairly rare package on the early GMC trucks. As for the "M&H thing" under the dash, that is an old trailer brake control box. |
Re: A pic stuffed intro thread
Welcome to the board from Kent, WA. Nice truck...1967 4x4 with a winch no less!!!! I would have killed for that truck when I was in HS! Nothing would have stopped my hunting and fishing escapades! I grew up on the East side of Portland and spent alot of time in the woods with a 2x4...what a pain!
|
Re: A pic stuffed intro thread
Welcome from NC, and from a fellow high school student! Lots of members in your area, couple high school guys as well!
|
Re: A pic stuffed intro thread
BTW...guard that horn button with your life...it is probably worth more than your engine...LOL!

Re: A pic stuffed intro thread
Welcome, I like your Truck best.LOL

:hi: from southwest Mo.

Re: A pic stuffed intro thread
Welcome...again.Like I said before,you actually have a pretty rare truck.There wouldn`t have been many `67 K2500 Customs and your`s is still a solid original.Someone knew what they were doing in`67 when they ordered that truck.There are hundreds of thousands of these trucks,but the special order trucks stand out.Take care of her.
|
Re: A pic stuffed intro thread
Welcome Blake! Hope you learn from the gang here.One way to start your education (at least on these trucks)is to read thru the FAQ's poages and look thru the Builds forum.Both will be informative and can give you lots of ideas on your truck.
|
Re: A pic stuffed intro thread
:hi::welcome2: and :cong: man you got a wseet ride there rare find's are the best and i'm still looking for mine :m5: lol enjoy that ole girl and she will show you the love of a life time :gmc:

Re: A pic stuffed intro thread
Congrats on the score and Happy B-day (late). Looks like you have plenty of projects ahead of you!
|
Re: A pic stuffed intro thread
Hi from Kentucky, 2fat2furious....I love that truck! Hang on to it man, and try not to let anyone talk you out of the rare parts on it!
Your stepdad did REALLY good in getting that....like other folks on here have already said, you hardly EVER see that type of truck. Congrats again, and welcome :) |
Re: A pic stuffed intro thread
these guys are right. youre not going to find a better source for info on your truck.
Love that engine compartment gas tank and coolant resevoir:phat: seriously though. hold on to that truck! |
Re: A pic stuffed intro thread
Welcome from not too far away. I grew up in Hillsboro. Nice K2500. I wish my GMC only had rust in the rockers. You've definately made a wish choice by coming to this site. We have peeps of all skill levels and depth of knowledge. Just about any question you may have will most likely be answered here.
|
Re: A pic stuffed intro thread
Nice start!!! I think your gonna really enjoy learning about and working on that truck...
I'd like to hear about the electrical junction box in the engine compartment. Probably something to do with the camper power, but it would have to have an inverter wired in somewhere I think unless something they used ran off of DC. Let us know what you find it hooks to!!! |
Re: A pic stuffed intro thread
Welcome from another HS Junior!!! You'll find everything you need to know here. I started out here w/ almost no mechanical knowledge, and I've grown a lot since then.
Oh, and guys? He said K1500, not 2500 ;) |
Re: A pic stuffed intro thread

he may have said 1500... but it is a 2500. look at the split rim 16 inch rims, mounted on a full floating hub, which, even though you can't quite count them, we all know there are 8 lugs in there.
