I think that looks perfectly ridiculous

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Maybe recess it a little bit and put some sort of metal mesh-ish in there, oh and some cool amber lights behind the mesh. I remember when I was a teen one of the guys did that to the scoops on their Maverick =)
EDIT: Oh wait! How bout lights that cycle through like Night Rider! |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Dude, I want to ree at you over that hood. It's electric, why would you even need any hood scoops anyway? Is there a junkyard around you can source another hood from?

I'm still waiting for the E-reveal. This thread inspired me to start planning a Lexus trans-motor based EV of my own. (~'90-ish Toyota pickup or similar mini-truck with Volt battery pack(s) in the bed and a false raised floor to hide the battery) |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Man, you know me so well!!!!
You showed us the heat, but what was the humidity? |
Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Eight years ago, I swapped the slant 6 and K-member out of my son's car and put in a 318 with the V-8 K-member, in direct sun at 107º F (that temp was in the shade). I'd probably die, if I did that today.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Yeah fellas, here's how I see it, and you tell me if you agree, maybe this may come useful to the Young Padawans, but when the wife and I bought our first house it was totally empty, we had no money left for furniture, and I remember my mom came over and there was literally no place to sit, and she could tell how we felt, and she said you have the rest of your life to furnish this house
similarly after 7 years on my first truck "build" and 4 on my second, I think the sun will still come up weather it takes me 1 year or 2 to finish this one [but not three, that's ridiculous, it's not a FORD] kapish? |
Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Well, that would be just to get it to run, wouldn't it?
And yes, I Kapish! |

Had to read that twice. At first glance I thought it was 220 degrees! 112 seems downright chilly after reading that haha. |
Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Brutal heat and humidity hear in north east for the all of August + age = no progress I can appreciate why the G man took a break cause I did …. Now back in the high 50s low 60s in the early morning I’m back at it ….hence I’m looking at a 1 year to complete the rebuild I’m undertaking
