1970 GMC 2500 Truck Start Up

[69dodgechargerrt1]

i dont like when people cut holes in the bottom of the doors in the 67-72 era trucks because it looks ugly (in my opinion) and you can get kick panels with speakers thus producing sound from virtually the same location and it just looks alot cleaner.

[matthew20061]

@69dodgechargerrt1 I agree, thats why on my truck I did the kick panel location looks much better and sounds awesome.

[B04rD3r4LiFe]

Ah, it looks like you've got the not so rare rocker panel delete option on your truck haha? What are your plans for it, a resto or just drive it ilke it is?

[Rarrin9378]

how come that steering wheel is the same as my dads 93 silverado? lol

[matthew20061]

Haha someone took it off a 90's silverado and put it on there!

[elpichichis]

my speed dometer doesnt work....anyone know where the connection is located or how to fix it?

[matthew20061]

@elpichichis There is a cable that runs off the transmission up to the speed-odometer check the connections under the dash to the back of the speedo, and go under the truck and check that the cable is connected to the transmission and that it has no breaks or tears in it.

[elpichichis]

thanks i will give it a look

[derek94gt]

@elpichichis my 87 speedo cable is connected to the transfer case

nice truck. brings back memories of my grandparents' 71 gmc 1500 with the 350. from what ive been told it was bought brand new. it was very dependable. used for everything. even had a camper on it. finally ended its life when someone hit the truck with my uncle in it. he survived though. insurance didnt want to cover it.

[hop328]

hey nice truck. i am looking at buying a 1969 gmc that i think is nice it has a 350 auto with a holley four barrel. do think it would be worth buying

[tomfan180]

rust bucket! this is really nice condition for a old gm.

[digzie1]

@tomfan180 depends on where your from ive seen alot of fords dodges and

chevs rust the same in the midwest,lol

look out west Las Vegas,LA,Phoenix etc

there are still alot of perfect vehicles with

faded paint ofcourse..

[teamracing14]

haha mine turns over jsut as loud!!! i thought it was bad so i tried every shim i could get and it just made it worse i guess these old trucks just sounds like that ha ha

[Piratejake86]

Well ventilated.

[max1980s]

how did u git a long piston shift knob on the shifter like that?

[matthew20061]

It was just jammed on there it was screwy so I put the stock one back on.

[dodgerules78102]

im a dodge guy but i do like those old gmc's and chevy's. nice truck :)

[dickandchristina]

I love the rockers. Been there, done that one. Good luck.

[banther1972]

gmc's are awesome.  i won't anything but a gmc anymore.

[joeldude76]

[texaco23]

[sirjimis]

Nice runner.

[lonestardehy6]

thats a project truck . bring it back when it shines and has a name ok.

[Chevyrulez9]

pretty nice truck man im getting a 1987 chevy Custom deluxe

[derka1]

those are good trucks got an 82 custom myself with three speed on a colum and inline 6

[koolaidnixon]

nice truck man is that same model like mine execpt mine doesn't factory A/C i had to put my own custom A/C. do you have front drums brakes or disc?

[chevyboy814]

does that have no exhuast? and is it a 350 small block cause i have a 90 chevy 2500 no exhuast and 350 and sound just like that

[matthew20061]

Yeah its a 350, but it does have exhaust but it comes out right under the cab with a muffler on it.

[giberish9]

Thats odd.  A/C vents in the dash yet under the hood only shows a heater box

[matthew20061]

Ya someone removed the original A/C and changed it to just a heater but it still has the A/C dash vents.

[Jac2Mac]

I noticed that when you started this truck up, it made no sound at all. Did you cut the buzzer wires or did this truck not come with a buzzer?

[matthew20061]

As far as I know it never had one....

[powerhawk56]

1970 was before buzzers were put in cars/trucks. It was several years later that cars came with them to reminde people to put seat belts on.
