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

LMC truck had all my sheet metal parts on back order... they should start showing up this week of one can believe the emails...

even More Progress...

radiator from the C-65 dump truck is off to shop to get a new 2.5 inch inlet and a quick dip and reconn.... the outlet was fine and the original hoses from the 427 truck will work fine (new of course) on the Detroit. GM did a nice job with engineering in the early days..

I test fitted the inter fenders and they should go on without a hitch as they are outboard of the frame... that Detroit took all of the engine bay and half the cab but it is Sooo Cool

Hooked up the Detroit fuel cutoff to the Choke...



nice to have 4 trucks worth of parts to choose from...
