I just freed my stuck 270 motor and was excited about pickling it for storage while i complete some more immediate needs on my 42gmc pickup. I...

thanks for posting this.........i had cobbled together some of these possibilities, but yours is way better.
I'd love to see a tech thread on this swap as well. It sounds like pretty simple common knowledge to a lot of guys but i need some step by step!...
It's safe to say that MANY of us learned a lot from and enjoyed the conversation with OldSub. Sure will miss him.
too bad it's not a TRUCK COMPANY! i guess you could lose the pump and make it one.... i always have to fight the urge to buy an old firetuck. the...

I've got two '42s. thru stovebolt and oldgmctrucks.com i learned that there were only 520 made. i'd say that they're rare in the war years, but i...

it looks so good already.....drive it and chop another project to keep your mind and hands busy.
S.M. River Rats Unite!

way to recycle.......now it's an eco-friendly green car!
I pulled the torque tube from my truck and would like to replace it with an open driveline with a better gear ratio. I'll be running a GMC 270...
