Re: Problems Just Problems with that 73 Super Custom

Well just got back from the mechanics and he said to just scrap the thing. The whole front clip is in great shape but the cab is junk. I also found out that the trucks motor was blown sometime ago. Maybe after the 5 years it sat. He said that 1, 2, 3, 4, & 6 tested as no compression. Not to mention driving it back home I lost all power at the end of my driveway. heard a noise like something just broke. guess I threw a rod. good size crack in the block though. Anyways, The Frame is in great shape, just the cab is in bad shape along with the doors. I may just need a new cab and the proper parts. But we will see were it goes. Right now Kinda working on truck #2 which is the 79 GMC High Sierra Jimmy. Do have a question though, Can a 76 4x4 column work with the electrical of a 79 updated harness or should I just try to find the same one that was in it. Because someone put a 87 steering column in and it drove pretty sweet. Picking Up tabs & new Plates on the 13th,

-Jeff
