From Mark :

It's been about five years since I posted last.  Since then, we've moved to another state and made many modifications to our truck. 

The truck now has a Super T10 4 speed, 4.10 Dana 44, American TTO rims - 15x5 front and 15x7 rear, diamond tufted interior panels, custom instrument panel, aircraft clock, 14 1/2" Covico steering wheel, Cal Custom gas pedal, and chrome emergency brake. 

Pictures: engine / interior / gauges / side view

It's in need of a repaint and other detailing.  It's now retired and will get a bigger cam, etc. when the new engine goes in.  I'm reconfiguring the 350 to look like a 327.  The right hand valve cover has a hidden vent connection at the rear for the pcv valve.  The front oil fill tube comes next.

From Mark :

This is our 1960 GMC Pickup truck. We are the third owners.  

This first pic was how it looked when purchased in the early 90's. Next picture is a shot after it relocated to Idaho and suffered a couple of seasons without a garage. 

Here is how it looks today -- front view / side view / dash. It now has a 1978 front suspension, front discs, and mid-1980's 5 lug rear drums. A custom Rock Valley tank resides under the bed, which has a Gaylord cover. 

Thanks for the great site. I haven’t seen another with such a great layout and so easy to navigate. 

Mark and Ruthann Brazelton
