Re: Drug out the ol GMC today
Thanks 70cst, It looks good, but I still have a long way to go. Today made it more evident than ever. Took 2+ hours to get it started. Had to move it on a gas can, PS still has never worked. Whines like it has air but still doesn't work. I got those wheels/tires on a truck I bought recently. They'll work till I get it on the road but not going to be what it ends up with in the end. Anyway, I'm getting excited cause I went back to school for 2 yrs. Just graduated in march (6 mo early) and now have a few bucks saved up to finished it up hopefully in time to take the wife to her first car show this year.

Re: Drug out the ol GMC today
Thanks guys! Got any ideas on what I should buy to mount a sport bumper on the rear? I think I might have to fab them anyway since this isn't really a longbed or a shorbed. Nor did they ever come with sport bumpers so I think I'm SOL when it comes to finding brackets that will bolt up. I have the new bumper already just no brackets. So , any ideas?

Re: Drug out the ol GMC today
Glad to see this truck again. Seems like last time I saw or read anything about it it was stuck in paint jail.

So, now I have some cash again to get 'er finished up! After getting it out of the shop it sparked something in me once again just riding in it for 50 ft in and out of the shop it was just cool! Today I'm heading down to a local fab shop to talk to someone about making me a tank for it. I don't like how low the blazer tank sits and filling it has been impossible w/o cutting the new bed floor. Before I do that I want to look into some more options. I was also thinking of checking the fit of a mid 70's saddle tank and filling from the wheel wells in front of the tire. If they fit than get them powder coated to match as well...... not sure yet. Polished Alum custom tank or powder coated 70's tank looks like one of those will have to be the answer

Re: Drug out the ol GMC today
Either get a new pump or take that one apart and put new seals and make sure the vanes are sliding easy. I suppose it could be the box, but in my experience it is the pump first.
