Re: 76 GMC CCLB Dually, The Blue Ox
I got it out of the shop and took it for a drive the other day,
I pulled a few hole shots by my house and the carrier bearing did fine, If it didnt blow out of there with my foot on the floor through 2 gears I figured an easy cruise would be ok so I went up to the store. Ill build a cm for it when I get back on this truck but its fine for now.
The trans wouldnt shift without running the rpms up pretty high for some reason, seemed like a large stall converter but I may not have everything hooked up right.
the rear tires rubbed but the rest worked out pretty good.
I packed a bike for the maiden voyage but ended up not needing it.
Seems more like a truck now than a dead horse.
All my focus at this time needs to go towards my 64 so Ill be on that build thread for a while.
Have a good week.
