Re: '69 GMC Build Thread.

alright. as promised, pics!

we set the bed on today, and got it all bolted on.





...i tried to avoid showing the waves in the bed sides in the pics, but, pretty sure i failed. haha. oh well. it can be redone.

and...a video, more of a sound clip, of the engine running with pipes on.



you're going to want to just fast forward til the clock says 1:16. thats when i finally got it started. the carb is acting funny, so i'm thinking theres some dirt in the needle, or..well. it just needs to be cleaned up.

and thats what i got done today, aside from watching the Packers stomp the Vikings. oooo...so sweet!

tomorrow, i hope to get the cab insulated and the seat bolted in and all that fun stuff.

then just comes checking the brake shoes, bolting the front end on, doing the ritual fluid changes, and putting the tires on.

and thats where she stands now.

let's hear it!
