My Best Original Pics of the Coolest, Best, Weirdest Cars & Trucks on My Travels
1956 GMC truck in NW Austin, Texas, modified with Napco’s 4×4 Power-Pak system, installed to new trucks by the dealer in about three hours. It wasn’t until 1960 that Chevrolet/GMC offered their own 4×4 system.
Found this rare GMC pickup in central South Austin. I thought, as many have, that this grille was a makeshift or a homemade grille, but there may be less than 100 of these production models
Found this gem on E. Cesar Chavez.
Powered by a 305 cu. in. V6 known for durability, low speed torque but poor mileage. 1965 was the first year that four wheel drive was supplied from the factory.
Painted on the hood, “U.S.A LS-5.3-4l60-E” likely indicates a Chevy LS 5.3 liter V8, and a GM 4169E auto transmission.
