New headlight/taillight wires?
My truck is finally in running form, but I’ve noticed now that for whatever reason, when I flip the headlights on, and go from high to low beam or vise versa, they shut off completely and won’t come back on. With that being said, the wiring looks to be sketchy at best, and my intentions are to...- Jesse Smith

GM 250? Looking for info
Hey guys. I’ve been making some progress on my ‘77, and it’s got me doing all kinds of research when I should be sleeping instead. I recently looked up the VIN, and according to the site I used, my truck originally had a 250 motor in it. Now in what limited knowledge I have on these trucks, and...- Jesse Smith

Looking to buy horses
the time has finally come! I found a running engine! Picked up a 350 yesterday. Now I’m wondering what the most efficient purchases would be to give me the most boost in HP and/or MPG. I already planned on swapping my 2 barrel carb to 4 barrel and bolting on some headers (also got some Edelbrock...- Jesse Smith

Paint Question
Anyone know what color options were offered in 1977 from GMC? I’m in the process of wire wheeling my floorboard, and I’ve found an almost cherry red and a light blue paint underneath a more recent white paint. No clue which is the original- Jesse Smith

305 to 350 swap
Well I planned on going 305 to 305, but that fell through, so now we’re going to a 350. Old and new engines are both carbed. Will the old transmission work? Should everything line up correctly? Is there anything else i should be aware of going into this stage of the project? Thanks guys- Jesse Smith

Comfort Me
I’m in the very early stages of my first ever restore. I’m sprucing up my interior, and when the weather warms up I’ll be doing an engine swap. I’m replacing the locked up 305 with another 305 (I know I know I should’ve gotten a 350 but I’m on a budget and in a hurry). Now I’m sure this won’t be...- Jesse Smith

This is probably a stupid rookie mistake, but I yanked the seat and floor to start soundproofing, and I can’t find anywhere there has ever been speakers. Any suggestions on how to place some under/behind the seat, and what kind of speakers to use? I want some bass but not a ridiculous amount...- Jesse Smith
