We went ahead and ordered a brand new Eldelbrock carburetor and installed the new Eldelbrock intake and I installed a brand new water pump
The better transmission is in and all we have to do is put the torque converter bolts in now |

So the Eldelbrock carburetor came in the mail faster then I expected
I put it on the intake just to see what everything will look like so far I still have to finish installing it and hook things up to it Hallelujah!!!! I feel like I am getting so close to getting it running by itself. Still need to get a driveshaft, wiring harness and some other things. she’s making some major progress |
Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100
Your truck is coming along very nicely! You have done a great job and it will be a blast to drive when finished. If you get a chance get a 1 inch spacer to put under your carb, should help to keep your gas from boiling when you drive it. Good choice on drivetrain also.

You have really become a young man with a Plan! I have been following your adventures and have watched you as changed directions.

Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100
So, I know I’m going to catch some heat
But, I have went with a 4.8 LS. I’ve stalled due to purchasing my grandfathers John Deere tractor back and am taking care of other things at the moment. But as always I am hoarding parts Hope everyone is doing well |
Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100
Hey, nuthin wrong with the 4.8 in a truck this size. Besides, it will be all set up for whatever LS you want to install later should you change your mind.
Personally, I'm not a tire smokin hp head so a 4.8 would be lots. Fuel injected so easier on gas and better starting/running at any altitude. How is that wrong? Keep hoarding till the wife stops buying shoes. |
Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100
I have a friend who has a 4.8 in a square body and it moves the truck great. Steve

Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100

Trying to make some progress |
