Re: Grandpas 71 GMC

I tore the truck completely down and decided to try find a 4X4 chassis from the same era. I got lucky and found a 72 K-10 chassis that was in pretty good condition and got it for $400. I stripped it down and had it sandblasted and powder coated along with hood hinges, bumper brackets, hood latch and few other odds and ends. After getting it back i installed a 4 inch rough country suspension lift, rebuilt the front and rear end, put all stainless break lines, aluminum gas tanks between the frame rails, rebuilt the NP205 transfer case and ordered a LS engine crossmember from pacific fab. I know thats a lot in one paragraph but i am tryinging to get to where the build is to date. Im trying to download some pictures i have taken throughout the build but they keep flipping upside down when i preview my post. Please help on this issue.
