So thanx for the help with the pictures. Turns out the bracket to mount the upper clutch rod is where its supposed to be after all. I just ordered the linkage connectors and the rod will be in any day. These trucks sure do get expensive. I just ordered a radiator, exhaust pipe, sun visors, sill plates, gmc parking light lenses, arm rests, and inner fender rubber.......oh and a battery. Those items cost $580. Guess I shouldn't complain ive read here where people pay that much for a radiator alone.
I tried to save some $ by painting the truck myself with metalic base coat clear coat. I used paint from a company called paintforcars.com. Unfortunately his color matching was not the greatest. I painted the truck two tone black and green. Half the job went great till I ran out of paint, I ordered more and sprayed the other half before I picked up that there was a shading difference. If you have ever painted metalic its very easy to be a shade off and not pick up on it in a home garage type setting. Paint for cars made up for the mistake somewhat by sending me 4 gallons of green and a couple gal of the clear. Only problem was the sweat equity in resanding the whole truck piece by piece and applying 6 consecutive coats of base-clear. Between primer and topcoats I have 7 gal of paint on this truck. Luckily I have refinishing skills or I would have thrown in the towel a couple months ago. Enough rambling. I just can't wait to complete the reconstuction of a truck ive never seen in one piece as a truck.
