Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Thankyou The black lines just seem to come out once and a while ;)
Well maybe not everybody can buy a 2.6 million dollar car lol
That's cool my truck is going all over I am hardly ever on instagram.
I'm glad it has inspired you. With my truck I also try to inspire the younger generation so the old vehicles will be cared for way down the road.
Thankyou I'm loving it
Ya wait till you see it!!

Carpet looks good. I went back a few pages but couldn't find a picture -- did you dynamat the floor before laying carpet?

Re: My 52 GMC Build

Stuck throttles are the root cause of black lines. The Government has spent 3.2 billion dollars and confirmed that the lack of abondt and liberal "Relative hi-temp, environmental approved bearing grease made in Siberia by Dunkin donuts is the cure. But get your order in early there usually all sold out about10 minutes after they open door!!!!
I preffer the chocolate flavor. to many helpings and they make my spare tire much worse. I'm just saying..

Keep on keepin on

Thankyou
It is better than I had hoped
Oh my... I almost died from laughing so hard.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

So the adventure continues. Friday I headed 2.5 hrs north to the beach with the trailer in tow, 1/2hr from home my alternator died with only 12,500mi on it. Local parts store had one so 20min later we continued on our way. Just as it was getting dark this little guy decided he wanted to meet my truck window at 60mph, you can see the clean spot on the window above him. He was still alive at the time, so I hung him on a tree.

“Batman meet truck”. Lol

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

The Bat's sonar was too slow that night! :lol: Nice to see you still out road trippin it. That stinks about the alt. Nothing seems to be built like it used to be. Keep those receipts in a safe place. In the truck. :lol:

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

hahahah the batmobile. always something to fix on these things. I feel like running compressors really adds to the strain on the alts. I had a "new" one go on my last build less than 1k miles on it.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

It was a quick meeting lol
Or maybe the turbo whistle messed him up? I drive it as often as I can, it has more miles pulling the trailer than without.
So I took the alt back to the guys that rebuilt it for me originally and the regulator failed and was coming apart, No charge.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Sometimes you're the flying rat, sometimes you're the windshield......

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Last night I looked over the truck and greased it all up. It's ready for our trip to the 3rd Advanced Design Nationals this Saturday in Franklin Indiana. It's 530mi one way and my son and I are leaving Thursday afternoon, hope to see some of you there.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Well, my son and I had a great trip!! Stopped in a truck stop Thursday night and made it to Franklin by noon Friday, 9.5 hrs of driving 554mi. Met lots of nice people Brian puts on a great show. I think there where 36 AD's registered and total 44 on sight, nice to see so many in one place. We got longest distance and total trip was 1178 mi. Only 2 GMC's there. Drove all the way home on Sunday 8.5hrs. Planning to go back next year.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Yes it was cool, He said it was a city truck back in the day.

My pleasure. It was a fun weekend. Maybe next year.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

seems like the weather and turn out was great. Wonder who won that lift! I thought for sure you'd be rolling away with BOS!!!! glad it all went smooth for you.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Ya everyone was pleased with the turn out. Can't remember if I met the guy that won, but wasn't me lol. Catch up with you soon.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

So last night right after work I drove 1.5hrs to see some not so local boys from Australia who where somewhat local lol. The Skid Factory boys, part of "Mighty car Mods" had raced in Hot Rod's drag week and came up to Canada for a few days. There was a open house at another Youtube channels shop. It was so great to meet the guys Woody, Al and Benny. I watch all there videos and was honored that they checked out my truck.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Awesome. Ive been following there series for a long time and also Deboss too. Its nice to see Ytube content of actual fabricators working and showing there skills versus the Discovery channel that spends 35 min of an episode building up some gag or stupid reveal, rather than showing the build process.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

I totally agree with you on that!! TV is all fabricated drama. I just found Deboss, so far very impressed.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

So a friend of mine was cleaning out the garage in his new house and came across this local news paper add 1949. Finally some GMC stuff! Thank you John.
