Re: 1972 GMC C-?? 4x4 pickup with 71 series power

Ok some updates... installed new 7/8 rear u bolts to repair originals where they waere almost rusted thru and to install lower shock mounts,,, Rancho RS5034 - Rancho RS5000 Shocks 19" compressed 34" extended will fill the bill with a 28" unladen ride height...

also found an air cleaner for the Detroit...my back of the envelope engineering says that the 568 inch two stroke will need 1100 to 1200 CFM airflow at 2300 RPM so ooo K&N RU-3100 Air Filter Element, Filtercharger, Conical, Cotton Gauze, Red, 6 in. Diameter Inlet,

was able to move the alternator brackets and alternator from a c/50 SBC right over to the front of the big Detroit using holes that lined up... I have to make a couple of spacers and get some longer bolts but all in all easy peasy Just plug it in to the wiring harness and go.. have to calculate the belt length... gonna be some pi in my future,...

started tacking in some in some filler panels and got the mirrors moved over...
