Luckily I love Volkswagens. Lol, that beetle was also my grandfathers and am going to frame off restore it one day

Yep, it is an awesome feeling

SCHRUMGMC · 11-21-2020, 06:15 PM

Ordered a brand new eldelbrock performer aluminum intake and soon to get a brand new Eldelbrock 600 cfm carburetor. Oh and my new spark plug wires that are actually worth something came in today

More progress very soon

No clue why in the heck my photos keep turning sideways

Keep going! You're doing great work on your grandfather's truck.

dsraven · 11-22-2020, 01:28 AM

Maybe you gotta fool it by laying down when taking the pics, haha.
You're making forward progress. Keep it up. Curious, without going back through the thread to check, are you swapping the distributor as well? If not check the old one for wear, proper advance curve etc. It can rob you of power and make it run poorly.

**Rickysnickers** · 11-22-2020, 10:45 AM

Straight now

Yeah it’s got an HEI distributor currently, brand new.

My Eldelbrock intake should be here today and getting an eldelbrock carb as well very soon

SCHRUMGMC · 12-08-2020, 01:50 PM

Well, the GMC trucks bedsides are finished.
Very pleased with how much work was put into making them better than new

As many of you recall, they were warped from the previous guys shoddy welding work

Now they’re like new and high quality

And the hood latch panel is new again

SCHRUMGMC · 12-17-2020, 07:12 PM

Got me another cleaner and better 700r4 about a week ago

Got me a rebuildable Eldelbrock carburetor too that is being rebuilt currently

Got to have all of the new stuff installed and install the newer 700r4

Here is a throwback to when I first got my grandfathers truck back

SCHRUMGMC · 12-31-2020, 04:06 PM

Recently got some rally wheels with GMC logos on them. Good news is they clear my front disc brakes

Got a rebuilt Eldelbrock 1406 carburetor that is electric choke and of course an intake

Brand new long water pump and brackets

Just ordered today a brand new IDIDIT column that has shift and also tilt

Putting another 700r4 in and mocking up for the driveshaft

Keeping the ones that cares updated about this build

Happy New Years Everyone!!!!

**Ol Blue K20** · 12-31-2020, 09:28 PM

...Happy New Year!

Daze57 · 01-01-2021, 01:15 AM

keep up the good work ---we still be watchin ---happy new year ( i hope )

SCHRUMGMC · 01-12-2021, 11:50 AM

I’m ordering a brand new power steering setup, brand new transmission linkage to the steering column. Soon to be ordering the rest of the stuff including a brand new gas pedal

This truck is going to be sweet!!!

I’ll be able to enjoy it and drive it like I’d like to with these modifications and new things

**Ol Blue K20** · 01-12-2021, 12:48 PM

Cool stuff, it's gonna be brand new!

Just stuck on which gas pedal to get, and which transmission dipstick to get

My engine is a 350/700r4 set up

Just wondering if I should go with Lokar or a off brand, because i am afraid of things breaking and or leaking

SCHRUMGMC · 01-14-2021, 08:52 PM

Took the old water pump off the engine and preparing the new one for orange paint and having to get SBC 350 water pump bolts

Man, I have so many parts coming and upcoming for this truck

It’s going to be so beautiful when the truck is done

SCHRUMGMC · 01-25-2021, 11:21 AM

We went ahead and ordered a brand new Eldelbrock carburetor and installed the new Eldelbrock intake and I installed a brand new water pump

The better transmission is in and all we have to do is put the torque converter bolts in now

6DoF · 01-25-2021, 11:52 AM

that's exactly how a hot rod motor should look

Thank you. I didn’t paint it other just painting the water pump.

She’s coming along great

SCHRUMGMC · 01-25-2021, 08:57 PM

A little throwback to years ago

**Ol Blue K20** · 01-25-2021, 09:43 PM

mothers is looking great! Keep going!!!

SCHRUMGMC · 01-27-2021, 12:29 AM

So the Eldelbrock carburetor came in the mail faster then I expected

I put it on the intake just to see what everything will look like so far

I still have to finish installing it and hook things up to it

Hallelujah!!!!

I feel like I am getting so close to getting it running by itself.

Still need to get a driveshaft, wiring harness and some other things.
she’s making some major progress

Indian113 · 01-28-2021, 12:42 PM

Your truck is coming along very nicely! You have done a great job and it will be a blast to drive when finished. If you get a chance get a 1 inch spacer to put under your carb, should help to keep your gas from boiling when you drive it. Good choice on drivetrain also.

Indian113 · 01-28-2021, 12:44 PM

You have really become a young man with a Plan! I have been following your adventures and have watched you as changed directions.

Yeah I installed a spacer yesterday. I am making major progress so far. Still waiting on my IDIDIT steering and the power steering box from CPP

Will update soon when I get more stuff on it

**Ol Blue K20** · 01-28-2021, 10:23 PM

Looking forward to the updates. Keep going!
