Rusty Bolt Oil Treatment - 2 Months Later YouTube video and a little bad news

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

Although I / WE enjoy restoring everything I decided in order to manage my limited time to attend to less tedious efforts to purchase these a few months ago thanks for validating my decision 🤭 so if anyone wants bags and more bags of rusty nuts they can find their way to another address🤣

a little video update on the electric iBooster brake setup

EV Conversion iBooster Brake Fail

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

how I dropped off yet another drive shaft for shortening and monkeyfication

[ after taking it down to bare metal, primering it, then painting it BLACK like the truck gods intended ]

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

how I picked it up [ this time it's personal, lol ]

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

so I decided to re plumb the iBooster with much nicer and gentler sweeping bends, and then go to EVCreate to see if I got the front and rear lines correct

any guesses if I got it right?

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

Who needs friends when you got the Bleed-O-Matic 9000

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

Goodness gracious, how many parts are there on these simple trucks

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

am I loosin' my mind or do these sorta look like baby F14s? lol

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

decided to divorce the '71 grille from it's upper bracket

unbeknownst to most, the GMC grilles are all the same, what's different is just the upper brackets

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

fun with hammers

above one mangled '67 grille

below one less mangled '71 grille

yes they are identical

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

I hope to derust this beauty

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

will The Greg beat The General to see who will build an electric GMC first?

and is it me or are they contradicting themselves in terms of the arrivability date?

GMC has given the first look at its upcoming all-electric Sierra Denali pickup truck (arriving early 2024), previewing the truck’s electrifying grille and exterior lighting sequence.


The electric Sierra, which will launch in the popular Denali trim, will be the third all-electric vehicle in GMC’s portfolio after the GMC Hummer EV Pickup and GMC Hummer SUV (initial availability early 2023).

There goes the rest of the grid …….our lights were flickering last week several times the power went out thank the lord for my Generac I called my neighbor and asked her to unplug her Mustannnng����

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

totally agree, steam is the future

fun fact: oil barons convinced the public to buy gasoline powered cars because steam was considered dangerous, LOL

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

I owned and operated a AMOCO service station for many years still own with a long term lease with British Oil barons BP direct $$$ kind of Hippocratic ah maybe I would have me one of them new fandangled contraptions especially that Denali ……

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

well we've been farting around with the 2018 Honda CR-V iBooster and we may have a bad cylinder

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

I enjoy watching, the electric brake booster concept in general is very interesting.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

thanks I hope to post more in nauseating detail on it here: I bought a Honda CR-V iBooster Gen 1 - Now what?

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

but I'm done boring you with bolting up ancillary foreign parts to this American truck, you did not come here to see Honda brakes, or Prius steering, you are following along because we are doing an Electric Conversion damn it, so...

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
