I have been installing the same kit and it seems to be going good. Hopefully when the time comes to fire it up and test it everything works as it should. Good luck on the install.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Installed tailgate (original MIA for years) and received new set of wheels - new tires should be here any day now(Nobody has tires! Very frustrating & Shipping times are crazy too!).... allllmost ready to hit the road again after nearly three years of restoration.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Got the tailgate & wheel tubs on. BTW bed kit was marked dynacorn, except the tailgate,which is oer.gonna tidy up the wiring in the cab next

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Great work guys, love the progress pics,
I wonder if WE can order directly from Dynacorn ??, a lot of my things have the Dynacorn logo on the box.

Pretty sure I found what’s causing the miss in my 68 327 . Exhaust valve number 5 cylinder don’t look right rocker sits way to high at TDC . My guess is wiped cam lobe and or valve recessed into the head

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Bad lobe or sunken seat, or a combination of both.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

My thoughts too . I'm going to pull the intake and heads next week see what I find . The engine has 40k on a rebuild .

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

I like those rims, care to share what they are?

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Had this done in prep for new engne going in next Spring. With 92,000 miles and never been opened still ran strong as broke tires loose on last run this morning.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Great looking wheel and tire combo! Good to see more 8 lugs getting some love.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

You bet - they are the U.S. Mags Indy U101 Polished Wheels. I've always loved the classic, period correct look of the slotted mags and these are the only ones i could find for a 3/4 ton.
Same look as the K20's "older brother" too - my 66 Impala SS...

She's still rusty but the driver's side door has all new rubber and felt along with a wing glass rebuild. Now to get the passenger side done.

Also adjusted the door to get the gaps consistent and it open/closing like it should. That was probably the biggest pain.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

In post # 2560 had engine removed from truck. Saturday got the engine to my home garage and on stand where she will stay. Then had truck towed to other garage for Winter storage

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Put in a new light switch, now its not so touchy when I have the dash lights turned up all the way. Often when I turned on my cab light, the dash lights would go off and had to wiggle the knob a few times to get them back on.

I also replaced the upper chrome tailgate trim clap thingys, so the trim isn't loosey-goosey anymore!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Able to get the hood on with some help last night. Still need to put on the trim and letters.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Looking very good!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

What a great looking truck, love the color combo, I've always been a fan of GMC trucks.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

a beautiful truck,awesome job and color combination,very nice.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Thank You All, cant wait till I can drive it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Sending positive vibes your way! :metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Got a new air filter, while I wanted a K&N I was able to get this Spectre air filter from O'Riley's and insure it fit okay on my Qjet. Reviews are mixed and I could have gotten it a lot cheaper online but I don't mind being able to support my local O'Riley's store.

I also had an annoying mismatched back bumper bolt, it had a slightly different shape head and then it wasn't chrome and rusting. I ended up just getting a 4-pack of bumper chrome bolts. None of the ones I took off had lock washers. Now I don't have to look at that ugly rusty mismatched bolt! Nice and all shinny now :-)

I tell you what, the fun factor on driving my truck has increased immensely in the last few weeks. With the newly rebuilt carb, new Progression Ignition, moving the throttle cable's pivot point (on carburetor bracket), and my new filter I can just about take off sideways! It is very satisfying working on the truck and seeing, hearing, feeling positive results.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Well done Richard, glad you're happy with it, it looks great.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Sweet!!!!!!!!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Slowly getting my 67 fixed up. A long neglected work truck is starting to look much better.
