Looks like a great trip. Beautiful scenery and old trucks is a winning combination.

Thanks AD It was great.
So this week I have been working at putting the front clip back on. WOW is it stressful working with painted parts (clear). I used all stainless bolts and got it all lined up and centered on the frame. I really like how the gloss black looks next to the old. Then I adjusted the hood, I had to add 2 little washers in the center rear to bring the center down a bit. Hood lines up with cab really well and front clip is centered on the frame but the hood is off to the passenger side a 1/4". Humm it wasn't like that before. Think, think, measure, measure. I found the cab is not quite straight on the frame. No big deal I wondered about that when I tightened up the cab mounts. I should get it fixed up tomorrow.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Damn it..started on page one and just had to read through all of them.
what a superb build! great manufacturing skills. and in the first video I love the whole truck lunging to the right, like it wants to tip over :) Turbo diesel V8..it just doesn't get any better !! I'd leave the visor and hood as is, just clear coat them. practical question, when you tunnel the tranny like that..what if you have to work on it, is there enough space to get around it? subscribed! |
Re: My 52 GMC Build
Looks awesome

Re: My 52 GMC Build
looks amazing, the wheels look good in the fenders
and your truck sold a bumper for me yesterday! a guy wanted to know if the stock bumper would look good on a 1.5 ton front end so I showed him your truck haha. |

Well my cab shifting plan worked great, the hood and front end line up quite well now. Saturday was beautiful so I pulled the truck out for some pics and cleaned out the garage. Oh did a proper burnout for my boys (quickly hooked up line lock)
I took a vid I'll post tomorrow I hope. I was SOOOOOOOO tempted to take it out on the road but I didn't want to risk the ticket. So it's still a driveway queen. Attachment 1510206 Attachment 1510207 Attachment 1510208 Attachment 1510209 |
Re: My 52 GMC Build
cool, just in time for the nice weather. The first test drives are surreal but will be burned in your mind forever.

So now that the fenders are on I have been working on mounting and wiring my cooling fan relay, my HID head lights and turn signals. I'm mounting this stuff behind the grill and will have a piece of rubber hanging to protect it all.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Build is looking awesome! - your neighbors must love you doing SMOKEY burnouts in more ways than 1!!!!! :lol:
Jeeze this brings back some old memories! http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...7&d=1457411363 Growing up a friend of mines dad had a carpet business and he had a fleet of these 61-62 panel vans. When he updated his fleet in like 77-78 he gave all us kids (16 yr olds with a DL) these old vans. we had like 4 of them and just used them as party mobiles and trashed them..... used to do what we called 'jack rabbit chasing' in fields at night strolling thru a dirt field until a rabbit sprang outa a hole and we chase it as fast as we could get them to go with our headlights trying to keep up.... until we either ran it over or it got away..... But those old truck were fun! ----- |

Cool story with great memories. It would make a great truck to drive around for advertising. Or in my driveway. |
