Re: 1969 GMC Short Fleet Build

Right..... Bumber's finished the steering box and exhaust today. The truck is now home at my residence for the first time! I took the truck directly off of the transporter to Bumbera's back in February. So at the end of April, its finally done!! At least most of the major mechanical is done, still have aways to go to declare the truck finished. However, it is driveable, and is inspected and tagged. The new Suspension and Disc Brakes work fine, the truck tracks straight and corners flat with the new 1 1/4" front sway bar. She rides very nice for a 41 year vehicle. The ZZR 350 engine and the twin flowmaster exhaust sounds great. All things considered I am very pleased with the results of the build. The guys at Bumbera's did a great job!!

Next, its my turn to work on the truck, This is my To do list:

1. Re-build the doors, all wheather stripping, window felts and scrapers, All new vent window ass'bly, window regulators, etc. .

2. Get a new Line-X bedliner sprayed in and new Tonnue cover installed.

3. This is the biggie, Install a Vintage Air AC unit.

Here is a few pics I took today when they had the truck on the alignment rack.......
