Geauga Lake Park Truck Refresh
I know it's been a while since there was an update. Life got in the way a little bit. The SBC 400 is back from the machine shop and now "identifies" as a 406! Parts are rolling in again and I'm slowly getting things together. I have another lead on a TH400 to build but progress has been slow...- Geauga Lake John

Geauga Lake Park Truck Refresh
GL truck update: This’ll be a short one. I’m a little disappointed in what I discovered today. I started to tackle the the transmission and ran into a less-than-ideal situation. To begin with, contrary to my last update, I decided not to torch the drum brake mounted to the tail shaft housing...- Geauga Lake John

Carb swapped tbi.
Yes, I think 1998 was the final year for the GMT400. You have me convinced though that I'm just going to have to dive head-first into things and see what I find. I suppose the worst-case scenario would be aftermarket gauges and that really wouldn't be the end of the word. I'm betting the 1993...- Geauga Lake John

PlayingWithTBI, do you happen to know when they switched to having the computer control the gauges? I'm deleting the ecm down the line on a 1997 C2500 and would like to keep OEM gauges. I have two donor trucks: a very clean 1993 C1500 and a crusty 1989 K3500 where I can Frankenstein a dash...- Geauga Lake John

305 TBI injectors
Hey, John, I'm swapping motors in my 1996 C2500 shortly. The 305 has a spun bearing but the fuel delivery all works fine. I've never shipped anything to Canada but if you're willing to pay for shipping, you can have whatever you need. Unfortunately I know shipping across boarders can be...- Geauga Lake John

Geauga Lake Park Truck Refresh
I had the same thought! There's a company right up the road from me called Cleveland Wrap. They specialize in vinyl wraps, like something you might see on a police car. I've already brainstormed with the owner of the business-- everything from totally decking it out with photos of the 100+ years...- Geauga Lake John

Geauga Lake Park Truck Refresh
Thanks all for the support and positive posts. I think it's cool that people remember the park and enjoy the little bit of a "living memorial" that my truck is. It's kind of fun to think that a little bit of the park still runs and drives. Not much to update today; I did pick up a transmission...- Geauga Lake John

Geauga Lake Park Truck Refresh
Isn't that the truth! Not only was there a SeaWorld in Ohio, it was the second one opened, just after San Diego. The truck still has SeaWorld logos on the windows and glove box. I'd love a record check from the BMV to show all the amusement parks that had the truck but Ohio is a pain to work...- Geauga Lake John

Geauga Lake Park Truck Refresh
This truck was originally purchased by SeaWorld Ohio then transferred in 2001 to Six Flags Worlds of Adventure, which operated on the opposite side of a lake from SeaWorld. It was equipped with tool boxes, a ladder rack, and air compressor which serviced machines and rides at what was then the...- Geauga Lake John
