Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Not 47-59 related directly, but pulled the 1996 Chevy 2500 w/ a 350 Vortec motor out of the garage for the first time under its own power and drove it around the private road we live on. Truck is amazingly quiet, hard to even tell it is running. We replaced the motor with one from the junk yard and overall it went amazingly well.
Frees up a bay (and time) to get back to work on the 57. |

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
@lazypineapple. WOW, that's really light.. i had a Porsche before this and it weighed 3150lbs with a full tank of gas and me in it. I thought these trucks were closer to 5000lbs?

Mark '87 930 That 5000# is the GVW of these trucks. They have almost nothing in them. Change out the Cast iron engine & trans for a LS aluminum Engine and Trans and you'd be under 3000#.
Heck my stock '57 GMC Long Bed NAPCO 4x4 is 4250# and it even has a cast iron front axle, and its still lighter then a Chevy Colorado. |
Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
wow, ok. I think i'm going to drive onto one of those truck weigh stations on the weekend (they are closed but keep their scales on). I am curious now. MY hoist definetly seems to work a little harder with the truck than the Porsche.
That said, I repainted the cab under the fuel cap (gas overflowed again). |
Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Did some painting today.
http://i832.photobucket.com/albums/z...psa0bc67f6.jpg Got the hood latch & latch panel in today...and it WORKS! http://i832.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps78e790ae.jpg Yeah, I lost some bolts during the down time so those new ones will get painted tomorrow. |

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
By the way, G&R your Jimmy is kickass nice.
I'd love to see it with the stocker steelies in the same creamy color your grill is and the GMC hubcaps with the holes in the front for the locking hubs. SUCH a nice truck. Is it totally stock mechanically? |

Built a new seat frame, the old one was welded to the floor and didn't help with getting the rug to sit right. Plus i added an 1/2" of hight witch worked better for me.
