Awesome on passing final inspection

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Thanks Guys.
So a week ago we went away for the weekend with the truck and trailer. On the way home Sunday the weather was hot, 96* and 110* with humidity. The truck temperature stayed right at 190*, so all my cooling modifications work great. Yay.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

I’m going to let let you keep the heat and humidity. Congrats on keeping your cool.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Oh I'm always cool :cool:
Found this last weekend GMC 450. Anyone know about the 450?

Had a failure on one of my air ride switches. The one that controls the 2 rear bags, seems like the pivot pin broke on the toggle. Makes it just flop around and do nothing. I had to use both rear switches to lift the rear for 2 days till I could fix it. This is the inside of the switch box. 11,400 mi and counting.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Boy O Boy, doing two burn outs side by side and getting them to match, that's some skill.

Bob, couldn't help myself, good burn out:burnout::cf:...Jim

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

I bet the neighbors are saying unto themselves “He’s up to it again Martha.” Lol. Looks like fun.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

LOL I practice ;) Thanks
Yup but the good part is that's our friends house lol
Yes Yes they do!!

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

So my next 50's truck build is still a few years off but I sort of started getting pieces together.
This is my new daily driver '85 s10 that I will use the frame of. Also I bought a VW 1.9L TDI with a 5 speed that I will put into the s10 next summer, so the drive train will be all ready for the old truck in a few years. It will be 2wd.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Is it as clean as it looks in the pics? Wow! It needs a 5.3l LS swap and a set of 5 spoke 3rd gen Camaro wheels!

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Nice looking S-10. I’m interested in seeing the swap.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Awesome burnout

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Nice new project and good burn out!

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Frame is not to bad, just have to scrape and paint. Body has some patches in the floor. I have a set of the GM rims I had on my GMC last summer that will probably go on it. As for the 5.3 I'm on the diesel train right now, I want something really different.
The swap will happen next summer.
Thankyou
Ya the red button makes me to do it.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

So our beloved '87 Jimmy is gone :buh:. Bought it in Phenix AZ 4 years ago drove it home, it was my daily for 4 years and we sold it for $4700 more than we bought it for. The guy that bought it said he was going to fix it up like new and bring it back to show us.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Always hard to let a good one go.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Good sale on the Jimmy

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Sorry to see it go but I'm sure it is helping fund something cool down the road!

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

I’ve always had a soft spot for Blazers and Jimmys.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Ya I just want to keep them all
I hope it was the right time
Yes it is
They are just one of the cool styles.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Last Sunday went to a "Cars n'coffee" meet in Toronto about 1.5hrs away. Wow the amount of money there was mind blowing.
Not sure if the Bugatti Chiron made my truck worth more or his car worth less LOL. Never thought I would see a $2.6 million dollar car driving around.
Cruised there with my friend and his Dodge.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Lower, pic number 5 ^^^ was the best, just saying...Jim

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

I was thinking exactly the same as I scrolled through the pics.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

X3 - By a long shot.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

X4, such an awesome pic!

Cool exotic cars too. Definitely a lot of money there. That free health care must be paying off? :lol:

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

X5 take your truck any day.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

It's funny you all say that but not surprising. A multi million dollar car sitting there and I didn't even look inside, but I checked out all the old stuff there. More ppl where looking at my truck than the Lamborghini's. :metal:

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

It’s all about personality.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

So Monday I took my truck in to Tom's Upholstery to get carpet made for my truck. As for now it is the last piece of the puzzle, the truck is done! I have a lot of trouble getting other people to do stuff on my vehicles especially custom work. Tom's was recommended to me from some high end hot rod shops in the area and they didn't disappoint. It looks like it came from the factory. I'm so happy, they did more than I asked for and the truck is so quiet inside now.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Been off for a while, just read back a few pages.
Glad you still making those black lines :lol:

That S10 looks really nice, looking forward to see what you make of it.

As for the last set of pictures, I agree with everybody else, pic 5 is awesome!!
Everybody can buy 2.6 miljon car, but it takes Skill to build a truck like yours!

Btw, I come across more and more pics of your truck on Instagram :metal:
You make the world happy:lol::metal:

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Looks great! That’s a nice job and a great looking interior. This is good inspiration for me, I’ve been sidetracked by other projects and need to get back on the truck and finish it off.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Interior looks fantastic!
