Re: '69 GMC Build Thread.

Well! as promised!

We celebrated the one year of ownership with a bit of smoking.

The Surgeon General ain't got nuttin' on me.


first one. this was with a 4x8 sheet of 1/4 inch diamond plate in the bed. sucker musta weighed a good 500 lbs. hense the doggin' boggin' mild chirp.



not much of a burn, but a good idea of the sound.



and time for some smoke.



yepp. it was a good time.
but in hind sight, I've realized that the 3.07s are nice on the highway, but a real drag outta the hole. some 3.73's may be in order. shouldn't raise the R's too much on the highway, but will sure assist off the line. We'll see what happens.

Thats where she stands right now.

-Sam.
