It's been awhile.

Last time I had a 1970 Stepside, then life took over and had to sell.
But 2016 a 1972 GMC caught my eye and followed me home.
It's been a great daily driver, 402 engine & 400 transmission and very dependable.
Glad to be back on this forum again guys.

When I found "Brutus" there was no carpet or insulation inside.
So that was the first thing to take care of, no rust (thank god) glued in
insulation and fresh new carpet.

After new carpet and glove box was installed I wanted some tunes & cup-holders.
But finding a split seat was kind of impossible for decent amount of $$, so
built a floor console instead with speakers & old school NOS Sony cassette player combined using a Rockville amp hiding under the seat. Gotta have tunes while driving.
The carpet & insulation made a big difference in both heat from the 2 exhaust pipes and engine noise & cup-holders is a must.
Truck came with A/C but not connected and mostly roll the window down enjoying the warm Texas weather anyway.

Engine has been pretty good, previous owner rebuilt the upper part, not sure exactly what was done, heads & valves maybe ?
Edelbrock carb installed.
Only issues since purchase has been, drained the gas-tank, had 1 gallon of water floating around (behind the seat model) and rebuilt the carb & replaced fuel-pump + filter.
Made a big difference, look at all the crud inside the carb:
