Hope you guys can help. I went through my box of cab parts and found these. The one says (pass front clip) the other big one is drivers and nothing written on small pieces. I can't figure where they go. Guess that's the problem taking something apart 10 years ago.

Those are the wings that go on the splash apron behind the grille. The two small parts go between the wings and the center pan.

Well Friday I met up with the slow movers club that put on the Unfinished Nationals car show. I was awarded my trophy for "Vehicle of the year" I keep the trophy for a year and bring it back next year. In place of the trophy I get a plack and a picture of my truck will go on next years: dash placks, award placks. Or T-shirts. Sweet :metal:

I mounted my 2 original horns right below the grill behind the filler pan so they're right at the front of the truck. They were 6-volt and now they're on 12-volt, so when I honk it nearly stops traffic. It does stop pedestrian traffic :D |

Today I finished up putting in my mock up drive shaft. I used the front and rear section of the cube vans two drive shafts to make one. Now I can get one made. I used some 6" tube for the frame notch. Also got the E brake peddle in place, once I figured where I wanted it.

Well after getting my e brakes hooked up with my universal cables that work great. Also hooking up my shifter cable. I decided to see if my electronically controlled trans had any gears with no computer. So I put it in gear and pulled it out of the shop slowly :bann: (no real brakes). Then put some blocks on front of the wheels and did a burn out :metal: I'll get a vid this weekend.
Today I picked up all my steering components and shocks. Attachment 1424136 Attachment 1424137 |

Made up some stainless brackets to hold my fuel filters, water separator and electric pump. Also got tank mounted, all looks good back there. Then got my new front tires mounted. They are sexy.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Looking good! quick question about the pedals. They come out of the donor S10?
|
Re: My 52 GMC Build
Thanks. Gas peddle came out of the donor ford cube van. The 2 brake peddles and steering column came out of a mid '80's gm motor home (van front end).

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Nice work! Nice rubba marks too! :lol:
