Well still lots to do to my truck, but it has slowed now because I have to get my Jeep ready for offroading. Leaving in 9 days for an extended weekend.
So today I cut a rubber back carpet to use as floor mat for now. Attachment 1526820 |

So here it is. My friend owns a cnc machine shop (mills and lathes) http://www.truenorthmachine.ca/ I sent him a drawing and sked if he could make some lug nut spikes for me. Then they where chromed. They are 3" long.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
On the road - you lucky bastard! I'm so looking forward to stop spending all of my time and money on mine, and start driving it. Getting very close to final assembly but I'm afraid my painter is going to let me down. He's already went from "absolutely going to make your deadline" to "I think we can still make your deadline" to a simple "we'll try".
I really like the pinstriping. I'm always in awe of people with any artistic abilities. They just see that stuff in their head and then free hand it like there's nothing to it. |
Re: My 52 GMC Build
Don't worry II_slow your time will come and then you will be driving around with a permasmile like I am ;). That really sucks about your painter, can you use someone else? The striping looks even better in person, I just told him what I didn't want. Amazing talent!!

I have been driving the truck all over town. It is the most cost effective vehicle I own due to fuel price. Diesel is 20 cents cheaper per liter and like .75 cents cheaper a gallon. I have been touching up a few things like adjusting the door latches now that the seals have broken in. My glove box arrived only took 4 weeks. When I swap the gears I want to go somewhere. I used the truck as a truck Saturday, had to go get 3 sheets of plywood and and some steel it's the only vehicle it would fit in. LOL

Yes Kees lots of smiles.
Drove the truck to work this morning, trying to sneak out of the neighborhood with a old diesel is not easy :) 250 almost trouble free miles and counting. Attachment 1529023 |
Re: My 52 GMC Build
That's awesome. ..doing the job right

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Nice lug nuts!
They look cool, but I'm surprised that truckers run these on the front wheels of a semi-truck where they're sticking wayyy out there. I'd hate to walk into them. :waah: |
Re: My 52 GMC Build
I like the Redneck Spoiler in the Bed!!! Really helps with the Down draft I bet! :lol:
What a Nice ride you have there and Great to see it on the Road so have fun and Enjoy !!! I wish Diesel was cheaper here in the lower 48 as it is usually about .30 more a gallon ! |

Re: My 52 GMC Build
right on man, putting the test miles on it is always a great feeling. But not better than actually hauling stuff with it. That is the best feeling, using it as a truck.

So I need some help. I went to install my glove box tonight and the defrost nozzle is stopping me from getting the top screws lined up, am I doing something wrong?

Re: My 52 GMC Build
it should slide in there tight. Try moving your defrost a bit, it should move out of your way. Def a tight squeeze under there.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
there were two gloveboxes if I remember, 47-49 and 50-53, you may need the other!

Re: My 52 GMC Build
I never knew the glove boxes were different. Always learning something new here.
That is a cool shot down on your truck. |
Re: My 52 GMC Build
Nice to see you are still enjoying it! Is the off road park you're close to anywhere near the big fire up there? I had to laugh about your comment on trying to sneak out of the neighborhood with a diesel. Everything I have is a loud diesel. :lol: It does make it a bear to leave early without waking everyone up.
