Re: Joe's 1969 GMC Shortbed
Been a long while since I been on here. Haven't had the time to get anything done on the truck other than swapping on the new carb. The Army has kept me quite busy, and relocated me to New York City causing me to store it in my buddy's garage. On a good note, he drove it in the local parade and took it to the car show afterwards. My truck claimed 3rd place in Custom Classics with the hood closed. First trophy, so hopefully there will be more as I go.

Re: Joe's 1969 GMC Shortbed
It’s been since 2013 since I’ve posted on here. Had to leave the truck stored with a friend for longer than expected. But she’s home now tucked in her spot in the garage.
Time wasn’t wasted while being stored. It got a new heart beat in the size of a 350 crate motor from a 91 Chevy backed by a built 700R4. Bought and restored a tach dash, yet to be installed yet. Tilt column out of a van. McCaughy’s 2” drop spindle disc brake kit New wheels and tires. Fuel tank for under the bed, yet to be installed. Needs some cleaning up under the hood.

Re: Joe's 1969 GMC Shortbed
Nice work. What went wrong with the 454? Did it die?

As for the wheels, yes they are six lug and the drop spindle disc brake kit has been installed. There are several companies out there providing 6 lug disc brake kits, I went with McCaughys. I chose to stick with 6 lug due to it originally being a 6 lug truck and I prefer to keep it that way.

Progress Update
Been a long while again since I've posted on here. Got a few things done since thing besides spending money on it. Probably be further if I wouldn't have purchased a Cobalt SS and rebuilt the engine in it.
Installed Boyds under bed tank. Installed van tilt column after restoration on it. Attempted to rebuild steering gearbox due to it leaking, but it decided to let loose and just spun in circles. Guess a ball got lodged and broke it right as I pulled in the driveway. Bought a remanufactured from NAPA, problem solved. Put a 2 inch cowl induction hood on. Replaced the worn out rear coil springs. Either they'd been heated by prior owner to lower it, or the old exhaust that ran right up against the springs did the job. Decided the raked look I was after is too much, will be ordering another set to drop it down a few inches. Decided I'm going to ditch the carb and go with an EFI system. Found a hell of a deal on one of the FB pages, bought a Holley Sniper EFI kit brand new in box with everything to plumb the fuel also. Decided I'd purchase the CD box, coil, and distributor to match. Should be happy running engine with the other goodies I purchased. Decided it was also time to purchase an updated blade fuse wiring kit to replace the hacked up one that's seen better days. Caught it on sale on Brothers Trucks. Then I decided it was time that a purchase a set of heads to get rid of the swirl port GM ones. Bought a set of BluePrint Engines 195cc aluminum heads. Should wake it up a bit with the combination of the Holley EFI kit. Also purchase Holley finned valve covers and air cleaner assembly to dress it up a bit. After all that, I guess it'll be time to start saving towards body, paint, and interior work. *tried posting pictures, missing security token error keeps populating. Maybe due to the fact I currently deployed to Korea*
