Nice. Seeing the bracing your builder put in the cab made me feel like he knows what he's doing.

SCHRUMGMC · 02-20-2020, 09:15 PM

Well, got news today that it’s be wiser to purchase a new stepside bed from Mar-K because my trucks bed rear and inner bed fender is rusted and damaged and would cost extensively

Quoted everything from there, it’s like $500 bucks for shipping and handling but it’s going
to be worth it

SCHRUMGMC · 02-28-2020, 09:45 AM

Ordering the bed sides and rear fenders later on today from a good friend

I’ve decided to do a LS swap/ with a 80 tranny in the truck

Got a lot of work ahead but it’ll be what I want it to to be soon

SCHRUMGMC · 07-08-2020, 08:25 AM

July Update:

The truck now has Power brakes, disc brakes and getting
ready for the v8 swap soon

**Denee007** · 07-08-2020, 11:04 AM

You didn't see me unless you drove through my living room. I didn't get out of my recliner.

SCHRUMGMC · 10-05-2020, 08:20 PM

Some friends installed the gas tank for me

Got me a SBC 350 the other day

Decided to go with a SBC, to stay old school and less modifications

59chev · 10-06-2020, 12:13 AM

Looks great! Your project is really coming together now!

**Ol Blue K20** · 10-06-2020, 06:19 AM

Tank looks good, I like the small block idea. Nice looking motor.

**Denee007** · 10-06-2020, 12:58 PM

The small block chevy is the way I went~ more power than you'll ever need and looks great!!
dne'
You're doing fantastic!!

SCHRUMGMC · 10-06-2020, 01:16 PM

Thanks everyone. Saving up for a rebuilt 700r4. Then engine mounts for the 350 and I’m just taking it one step at a time

The trucks bed sides are being repaired as well. Purchased some OEM bed fenders from a friend out west. Then, all I’ll have to do is put everything together(hopefully)

SCHRUMGMC · 11-05-2020, 04:53 PM

Finally picked up a 700r4. I’ve got everything to put the engine and transmission in the truck. ��

Hoping it can be put in the truck this Saturday

Also, I installed the cab mount bushings and put the steering column back in the truck for now just to get it to be able to steer.

SCHRUMGMC · 11-06-2020, 07:33 PM

A friends doing all of the work but I’m observing and learning

So we made some progress today with the V8 swap

It’s going to look so nice and sound amazing soon

Sorry for the sideways photo, not sure why it does that

But, my friend is going to finish up installing the engine and transmission mock up tomorrow sometime

**Rickysnickers** · 11-07-2020, 10:46 AM

Here you go

SCHRUMGMC · 11-07-2020, 10:29 PM

This weekend was a major success on the old GMC truck

The 350/700r4 is officially in the truck

My grandfather would be very proud

Major props to a great friend for everything

**Ol Blue K20** · 11-08-2020, 11:03 PM

Nice friend and it looks good

Putting truck rally’s on the truck here soon

The trucks came a long way since owning 7 years ago

Very eager to get the driveshaft modified and the rest of the stuff in to get it driving and most importantly running

Congratulations! It's got to be a good feeling.

dsraven · 11-20-2020, 12:22 PM

post 421, is that a future dune buggy off to the left? haha

don't mean any disrespect if you are a vw guy, I have just been thinking of building a baja buggy again when done this truck. you notice those things when they are in the back of your mind.

truck is looking great. it all takes time and that seems to be at a premium lately. always good to hear it running no matter the condition. it seems to spark ambition again on the project. maybe I should go and start mine up too.
