Yes it is. Lots of parts I know are GTG.
Thanks AD. Nice to hear it run again.
Thanks Diesel. It sounds a little different now that the exhaust is wrapped and intake pipe is on now. In a good way.
Thanks I'm really looking forward to driving it this spring when the snow is gone.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Nice. That video is cool.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Your truck is sounding sweet. i'll bet you're hoping for an early spring.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Sounds good! Is that bracket under the exhaust part of your scraper, or is it the running board bracket?

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

its alive!

:metal:

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Thanks Sid there will be some longer vids when it gets on the rd.
Ya like 2 months would be good
Bit of both. The running board checker plate bolts onto it and exhaust is resting on that. Scraper part is directly under frame same structure. Pic might help.

Pure awesomeness right there lowers!!

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Thanks Chance
Last night got some more done. Got the 7 pin trailer plug wired and installed. Also got my reverse lights wired and installed. Then the amount of beer that I was drinking told me I should stop before I F something up. But I did hot wire the reverse lights to see them on. They are very white but have a yellow halo. The last pick shows my water proof electrical box for the wiring at the back.

That is a nice clean install with the box and the cord grips.....

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Thanks Coach

I ran some wire and installed my box tube end lights. They are LED dual element (run, brake) really bright D.O.T. approved. I will have them wired in the same as my tail lights.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

My son and I have been following your build for a while. We both think you are doing an amazing job!

Do you have a part number and or manufacturer on the lights you put in the end of the bed rail? I've seen them before, but was worried that they would be too dim. And possibly the ones for the the reverse lights also.

Thanks, and keep up the great work!!

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

That is awesome. What is your source for the LED's?

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Thanks Chevy_man5 and Son. Bought them on ebay listings are below. I just welded a washer on the end with the right size hole for lights. You will not be disappointed with how bright they both are.
Thanks Coach This weekend I get a pick of the red lights on.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Thanks Bob. Nice touch with the LED's

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Nice LEDs!

Thanks!

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

No Problem guys.
On the weekend I took the fam out for a walk in the local wrecking yard. My GF likes going and my 2 boys had a blast. I think they went in every car there. Got a wiper motor from the tailgate of a '97 blazer and a vent from a mazda 3. I am using the vent for my heater.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

I want to see this blazer wiper motor work, I have heard of it before. those mazda vents are good looking and shut all the way, I had a speed 3

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

I used a similar motor, only out of a ford. 48panel made me an adjustable linkage for it. Its a bit of fiddling with but if you got the time can be better than dropping 250 for a kit.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Thanks!!

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Tonight I made some stainless steel brackets to mount my LED tail lights. I used a 3/8" stainless street elbow to direct the wire down. I got the wires ran and hot wired them on.
