1962 GMC 1000 Description
62 factory shortbed fleetside 1/2 ton pickup truck. This truck has had many upgrades to the suspension and drivetrain to make it run and drive very nice. It has a Chevy 350 c.i. Engine that has been fully rebuilt with less then 500 miles on it since the rebuild, which also contains many new accessories such as new starter, chrome one wire alternator, spark plug wires, water pump, aluminum radiator and fuel pump. It has a quadrajet carb, "crows foot" gm intake. Ram horn manifolds, and flowmaster 50 series mufflers.
Rebuilt th350 automatic transmission with shift kit, new torque converter, lokar floor shifter and new joints and drive shaft.
The frame is a 63-66 style frame that has a 73-87 Chevy 1/2 ton front cross member and steering. The front had 2.5" drop spindles as well as "cupped" lower a arms for the air ride. 1.25" heavy duty rotors, new brake caliper, brake hoses, power brake booster, and dual reservoir master cylinder.
Mini fuse panel and all new wiring. New aluminum gauge panel and white face dolphin gauges .New carpet, door sill plates,sun visors, headliner and upholstered bench seat. No dome light assembly, no radio although there is a rivited patch in the dash (not done by me) and speaker holes in the doors so if you wanted to add a stereo back in it would be fairly simple.
Rear frame is step notched for the axle using a 8 piece kit from switch suspensio, uses 63-72 Chevy truck style trailing arms with air bags. Bed floor and wheel tubs have been raised. There is a metal structure under the floor as well as strips but the "wood" isn't really to be used for hauling heavy loads, more for show or hauling small or lighter stuff. There is also a concealed area under the bed or a "trunk" area that contains the air tank and 2 viair compressors which is accessible through the tailgate. Rear bags are 2500 bags, front bags are 2600 and are from switch suspension as well as the manual toggle valve setup.
Supreme wheels with billet center caps and skinny whitewall tires.
Truck has had body work and patch panels done in the past and I reccomend that the work be redone as it was not done by me. The patches are done in fiberglass, and there is bondo on the truck, the truck is not ready for paint. But it is ready to be driven! Front glass has cracks and needs to be replaced. Passenger window also has a crack.
Door seals and window seals seem functional. Windows roll up and down, vent windows open and close. Headlights turnsignals,and taillights are in working condition. New window cranks and door handles inside. truck lays trailing arm x member, and front x member and a arms on the ground and the front tire touches the inner fender wells at the same time so I didn't cut the inner fenders at all. The truck still has the stock hood hinges and hood springs. If you want to run bigger wheels or tires you would need to cut or remove the front inner wheel wells.
Please look at the pictures before purchasing, if you have any questions about the truck and or condition please email me. The truck is for sale locally and I will end early if it sells outside of eBay. If a reasonable offer is made, I will remove the listing. buyer pays $500 non refundable deposit within 3 days full amountwithin 7 unless other arrangements have been made. I will help load the vehicle on transport but buyer is responsible shipping. Thank you.
