New K25 Owner in Ohio!

[DreamWeaver]

Hey, all! Just picked up my first square body last week. It's a 1978 GMC K25 I stole for $900 to daily drive to work for the spring. I've grown up with these trucks, but am a novice at best and looking to expand my knowledge and really enjoy this generation.
Here's what I know about this vehicle:
Has the SM465 trans
350
NP208 transfer case (bracket was added to left side of frame to accommodate the newer driveline)

most likely has 4.10 gears, as it revs nearly identically to my dad's former K20 - Turbo 350 I used to drive a lot.

Thanks!
Samuel
Barberton, OH

Oh! Well in that case, what's the other ride(s)?

 

[DreamWeaver]

thanks, all...really appreciate it! Other rides are 93 Lumina Z34 I keep stored out of snow and an 06 Charger 3.5.

As long as you don't have to work on them, those old Luminas are fun cars. I had a couple '93 Z34's myself, a red one and also a black one. My brother in law had a red '91 for a while too.

Lol, you just reminded me, I briefly had a white '92 that was a 5 speed. It was a totaled car just for parts though. I'd gladly own another Z34 if it were a 5 speed car.
