Morning guys.
That 62 gmc is a pile.....
Looking at a 95 chevy 1500 now. Thoughts?
4.3 engine, 2wd, no rust I can see, claims to run good.
Single cab long box, shouldnt be too bad on gas.
I had a weak moment and almost called about a 76 ford highboy......
Any thoughts on that generation of trucks?

And the dummy of the day award goes to !?!???!!????
I sold the original shop furnace yestday as planned.
got for it what i had into it and they removed it.
was happy to get it gone.
So,put the new one in it's place,easy.
Dan my man, ( stihl waiting for gloves rob ) helped drain and move oil tank from old shop ,refill,run fuel line,etc.
%100 setup and ready to fire.
hose on bleeder valve and a container to bleed the fuel pump into.
hit the switch and within seconds,,,,,,,oil all over the place !! lots of it !!!!!!!!!!
shut it down and WTF ????
OOoppppssssssssssssssss,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, when i picked it up the guy told me it was setup for a RETURN line off the oil pump !!!
pulled out the fitting and plugged the hole and tried again....
fired right up.
then smoke,,,,,,,,,then oil leaking everyplace,,,then flame !!!!!
thing was roaring like a frieght train !!!!
shut it down dissapointed agin and went in the house to stew...
any body GUESS what was wrong ??
Ron I'd set it up with a two line system. A check with Stubby would confirm but I seem to remember dad always talking about the two line system being far superior to the single as more resistant to fuel gel and trash clogging the line. I'd run the extra line to the top of the tank. It keeps oil circulated and you'll have better results in the long run IMHO.

After searching the internet i found when running a two pipe system as they call it when there is a return line,,a bypass plug has to be screwed up inside the hole the return line goes on to direct the excess fuel to the outlet.
on a single line like my setup that plug up inside has to be removed and it opens anothe passage for the fuel to recirculate in the pump.
what i did was put a potatoe in the tailpipe deal.
i blocked off the exit and the pump built up pressure and it had to go someplace !!
Cleanup in aisle nine !!!!!
will remove bypass plug and try again today ..

I had a similar event happen yrs ago....my sawmill partner and I lost our main diesel too a broken crankshaft.....so we were looking for a used crankshaft in good condition....new was $1,500.00 not counting bearings/seals/gaskets....in our travels through farm country looking for parts we found a broken Oliver tractor...Model 1950.....very large farm tractor....all apart...but it had a newly rebuilt (200 hrs) 453 Detroit....120 hoss...two strokah....the only thing wrong with the motor was, the droids that removed it from the tractor let it swing into an iron housing and crushed the governor. We decided to repower the mill and bought the whole mess for $1,500.00......at the time I had had little to do with diesels and though I made the installation and shaft hookups etc. I was intimidated by the governor repair issue though I had already found an empty brand new governor housing to put our inards in and the rest of the fuel line hookup as we were not sure where hoses went because we hadn't taken it apart. We had no use for the 55 gal onboard fuel tank. We had a 275 gal tank that got filled by truck as needed. So we enlisted a friend of my partners brother who was a bonafide diesel whiz......said so himself...learned it in the service.......well when it came to hooking up the fuel lines to our tank he plugged the return line from the high pressure gear pump that pumped the fuel.......she started up a and seemed to run OK...all the retrofitting seemed to work good so off we went sawing lumber. Foster was the sawyer in those days as he knew much more about it than me.....after all we purchased the mill from his father's estate. Foster was not mechanical in the least and didn't concern himself with such things. Being an oil checker....grease gun operator....general fix it guy, I started each day by checking the oil...and again at noon......well we had a wonderful little motor.....the more she ran, the more oil showed on the stick....like our own little oil well.....NOT!!!!....having plugged the return line the pressure blew out the seals in the fuel pump and we pumping diesel into out 20 qts of lube oil. Fortunately GM diesels are "The poor mans diesel" and there are many around...new fuel pump didn't cost as much as the new oil and filter change......but she was flushed out good!!! Very nice running diesel to this day.......your furnace will probably do the same...

I have an 08 C1500 2wd with a 4.3. It gets considerably worse gas mileage than my/Ron's/Dan's 2500 with a 6.0L and 4wd. Pass on the V6... great motor in an S-10 but not in a 5500 lb truck.
As for the body of that generation of truck.. should have never gotten rid of my '92 K1500. Loved that truck and it was still going strong when I sold it at 265,000 miles.
Well Robin, it is a sort of a unique piece of Canadian chainsaw history, not one of the better saws just one of the very early attempts at making something that would run and cut wood. The chain actually travels all around that bar n bow just like all the other chain saws out there. It has the brand new never sharpened scratcher chain on it that it came with. The saw was so painfully slow that it never got used much at all, it was a big disappointment to the original owner. Wide open megaphone exhaust that leaves your ears ringing after use and it does run. The saw was coated with engine oil inside and out and kept in the woodworking shop at the mill from the day it was bought til now. The original owner is getting up in years and would like to see it cleaned up and running again, the stories he can tell keeps one riveted to their seat for hours on end.

If you are set on a v6 in a full size, make sure it has a 3.73 or 4.10 rear gear. I have 3.22s and mine won't get out of it's own way but it will do 80+ in second gear.... dunno what third and fourth are for???
To determine what gear the truck came with, check the glove box for a build tag. You are looking for the "G" codes... plenty of sites that will decode the build code for you. G80 is a locking rear end.. another plus in a long bed truck.

I agree that it is under powered
My buddy got 17/18mpg in his
Least it ain't as under powered as my dakota!
3.7L v6 210hp 4x4 crew cab weighs in at nearly 6000lbs but gets 18mpg city
Yes it is Ron, that is about all it is , just a curiosity piece of chainsaw history. Good thing chainsaw advancement was rolling right along back then and this saw just got securely stored away.Their next saw was a IEL and they virtually wore it out they say it cut so much better with its 1/2" chipper chain even though the chainspeed wasn`t that great.

1/2" chain is fun to run.
