Brian Press originally purchased the '77 GMC K-15
in 1995 which was in dire need of some TLC. Brian first started
with the motor. The engine was rebuilt by Brian and his brother in
Brian's garage. The motor is a 402 Chevrolet Big Block with a .040
bore over, fitted with an Edelbrock intake, 600cfm Carburetor, Cam
and Lifters. It has plenty of power to turn the big meats. The
Headers and glass packs send the exhaust out the back.
The suspension was lifted 6 inches, and the body
got a 3 inch lift to clear the tires. A crossover steering setup
helps it turn when the truck is flexed.
A B&M
shifter gets the TH400 moving through the gears and the NP205 sends
the horsepower to the Dana 44 front and 14 bolt rear to keep
40/17/16.5's Gumbo Monster Mudders on 16.5x14 Bart Wheels spinning
hard.
The electrical system has an Isolator and 2 batteries
running 4 lights on the front bumper, 5 on the light bar, 2 spot
lights and two back up lights on the shell, all this keeps the dark
away. The body has all the molding holes and emblems filled and
shaved, and most of the dents fixed (although most have returned
and even got some new ones) The whole thing was then squirted with
PPG Dark Black
The interior of this truck has been
left alone except for the addition of some gauges to keep an eye on
the motor and a CB radio. Brian also carries a 30,000 pound tow
strap, ten foot tow chain, and a Warn receiver shackle bracket
along with two fire extinguishers and a shovel (never know when
your gonna need both). On the front push bar, Brian carries a
Hi-Lift jack.
This big GMC is Brian's daily driver
and he's put many miles on it. Brian wheels this truck pretty hard
(Brian has had to replace the front fenders a few times). The truck
has taken Brian's family and friends on some great fourwheeling
adventures. Brian would like to thank his brother Barry for all his
hard work in getting the truck this way and would also like to
thank his friend John in helping with the pictures in the mud. A
very BIG thanks to his wife for putting up with this "truck
thing."
