Nice, that's some super work right there.

Excellent! Always great to see more GMC's on here.

Beautiful, this is going to be a beauty, great work.

very nice.

Man I can almost smell that paint. That’s the same color I painted mine the first time.

**Riverstory** · 03-01-2022, 11:35 PM

Beautiful truck. Great idea using the engine hoist. Thanks for that!

**The Rocknrod** · 03-02-2022, 08:10 AM

Did you do anything to get the rams horn manifolds to fit (passenger side) with the engine in the rear two holes?

Vortech · 03-02-2022, 08:26 PM

it was a tight fit

Vortech · 03-06-2022, 03:03 PM

got the doors mounted. Also installed the vent windows. Vent windows were purchased from Roger Koop, a member of this forum selling on http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=830918.

I need to align the doors a bit better.
