Re: 72 GMC Longbed Duramax Swap

UPDAAAATTTEEE!

still slow goin! Stupid work, stupid LYFE!

Last weekend was spent mostly helping my dad and arlie. They are putting a 4BT in an 83 CJ7, i forgot to take pictures! However, it should be done in about one more weekend.

I put my new (to me) Power steering box, and pump in, mounted the lift pump, and dropped my radiator off at the shop to get a heater hose nipple put into it!

also, i bought another car! 1957 Buick Roadmaster, My wife says that i'm no longer allowed to buy anything else until i get rid of something.... so it sounds like i'm at capacity!

My short term plans: Re do the interior (it smells like mice REAL bad) and put a Small Block Chevy that i have on the shelf, into it. Then take a couple years restoring it slowly.

LONG term plans (5 year plan?): Cummins swap it and make it my daily driver! I IMAGINE that a Cummins swap, with highway rearend gears it could SURELY get high 20's to low 30's mpg. which is as good as my current daily driver. Then i could ride in style year round!
