finally drove my 76 after 2 years of work
 

Well I finally got my GMC driving down the road after 2 long years (engine and acc., trans, dshaft, interior, gas tank all new) :metal:

Still gotta install dryer and charge A/C but here's some fresh pics

That is one fine looking truck you have. I like the work many people do on their trucks, but I tend to like restorations best.

Love the white & blue combination. Looks classy!

Very Nice!

Thanks guys

All started from blown head gasket or cracked head. Engine was overall filthy and worn so pulled it, and built a new one. We all know the rest of the story...clean and paint this, replace this....fix previous owners crap lol

Right on. How does it run out?

The Gilleys bumper sticker is the icing on the cake.

Thanks :thumbs:

Thanks, my 76 grill was nice condition but I found a good 73/74 grille and painted/restored it. I just liked it better plus the black bezels and amber turn lense.
thanks
Thanks, I have them on valve covers too. Engine is kinda plain jane looking so wanted to add something and being a gmc I didn't want the chevy turbo fire decals.

:lol:

I found myself a air dam like the one you got very cheap. There was 1 still available from Gm back east had my parts guys order it in for me at the dealership I was working at thanks for that part number
