Your lights look good! And thank you for the details.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

I think the head lights look great!

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

So when I woke up today at 2:30 pm. I called my insurance guy and said I would like insurance on my new truck. He laughed when I told him the year. So a few minor questions as of today I have insurance on my truck:metal::metal:
I have had these licence plates for 9 years, just waiting for this moment. My friend Joe is writing my safety then off to the MTO (DMV)
So then I went out and mounted my licence plate and light. Also finally installed the compressor circuit beaker. Yes I know it is upside down but I needed the batt post on the top.

Headlights look awesome. ..love the plates. ..what is the insurance going to cost you

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Headlights look great, would be interesting to see a night photo on the road with low & high beams.

I like your license plate also, here in N.C. we can't purchase a vehicle plate without showing proof of insurance.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

That's great Bob! Looking forward to seeing it on the road. :ennyd:

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

I dont like the headlights, but I didnt buy them! :D I dont think they detract from the truck though, just not my taste, and the rest of the truck is staggeringly great!

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Love it!
You will have to come down to cambridge and do a show and tell with Johnny and I

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Not sure right now I told them $2000 just to get it. I am getting an appraisal soon.
Thanks i'll get one soon after it's on the road. Custom plates you own, don't even need a vehicle.
Soon John
I'll be put the trim rings on soon. Thanks for your feed back and Thanks.
For sure Craig. Maybe we can have some brown pops and watch you work on your 66 LOL :)

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

So yesterday and today I got a lot done. Installed a regulator and valve for my air horn and hooked up the button, installed my limiting straps for my rear end, adjusted the rear brakes, got the wipers working with the sw, ordered some wiper arms, put the grill back on. Also adjusted my doors, now they close real nice with the new seals. So my list is getting shorter. I have about 2 weeks, the plan is to drive my truck around the block on April 16 :) (my bday)
Also Joe has my safety I'll get it tomorrow and MTO Friday.:metal:
Air horn vid, regulator is only at 60 psi

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

The air horn will get attention!

I've never seen limiting straps for a rear end before.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Contact Zehr insurance, believe they are in new hamburg, they specialize in bikes and antique insurance. You will definitely need an appraisal, need it to be covered for what it is worth in case the worst should happen.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Loving that visor makes it look like a chop top "Its a lot cheaper too :lol:"

Glad at least someones list is getting shorter :metal:

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

I have a much louder one on my Jeep. I had to put the straps on. When we where painting the truck we lifted the rear with a forklift and stretched the air bags and they started leaking around the ends. I guess they don't like to hold up a 300lb axle. So new rear air bags and limiting straps.
My dad has a car insured with them. I will be driving the truck too much and to work I don't qualify due to that. I may switch at some point when I see how often I drive it.
I agree looks chopped:). Oh come on if your working on your truck the list is getting shorter.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Well it was pissing rain all day today what a suiting time to install my new wiper arms. They work good and stop like this.
Also Great news I GOT MY SAFETY TODAY!!!! Hoping if all goes well to get licenced tomorrow.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Cool that you got the safety. ...surprise that they will not make you get the black plates for trucks ....or in Ontario when you do get personal plates only come in blue

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Custom plates only come in blue.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

My Truck is now legally licenced for the road!!:metal::metal::bann::bann::hot::two:

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Still some work to be done. But that's ok because by sunday night we had 8" of new snooooow :( So less than 2 weeks till my first drive the motor should not be like this.
All is good tho, I pulled the injection pump and injectors to get them checked on Saturday morning at a local injection place and I can help him. Also I had a fairly bad oil leak on the crank case vent so I'll get it fixed too.
Went from this:
To this: This morning

Congratz :metal::metal:
Now you can legally tear the streets down :lol::lol:
That is if the snow is gone and your engine is in one piece ;);)

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Congrat's on the safety and license! Too bad about the pump repair...always something.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Thanks AD. It's more of a check it now before I drive it thing. Plus had to fix the oil leak.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Thanks Kees
