I'm not sure about the tread design Good Year may have changed it at some time these tires were bought in the late 90's.

**Dieselwrencher** · 05-13-2010, 10:55 PM

More than likely. They don't look like 37's anyway. I'd like to get some of those in 33's though.

Reed's72 · 05-14-2010, 12:12 AM

The rain has slowed done enough to get a couple new pics, The driver side rims have been cleaned up and the axle ends painted. The lower pass side trim has been removed and I am trying to save what I can. That's a water spot under the engine but I have found a major leak from the master cyld, new parts are going to hsvr to be ordered.

**GruntMoanCough** · 05-14-2010, 08:30 PM

Nice job cleaning her up. Looks great!

BLAZERMAN · 05-14-2010, 11:04 PM

Thats a very sharp truck you have!! I love it! I think it would look much better if you remove that window tint...aged tint turns that funny color and doesn't do much for looks.

MrGoodpliers · 05-15-2010, 08:02 AM

That's a sweet looking truck. I love the slots!

**jamie72** · 05-15-2010, 11:40 AM

sweet truck!! very nice, looks like your out enjoying it the way it should be!!

Chevymaniac · 05-16-2010, 04:32 PM

Truck is looking really sharp after a cleanup. I hope my truck looks that good someday. What's the engine bay look like, any pics of that?

Reed's72 · 05-16-2010, 09:36 PM

here are a couple pics of the engine bay, these were taken today with the master cyl backets painted, I also added the pics of the work I did on the passenger side front fender trim

Sweet truck, wish it were mine.

Reed's72 · 05-29-2010, 06:47 PM

updated pics of the engine cleaned up a little, I should have the new carb next week and then if nothing else fails I am going to try and make a local show on the 12th

Reed's72 · 06-21-2010, 09:49 PM

just a quick update, new carb and brake booster are in and working good. All but one piece of trim has been restored (repainted). It's time to start getting a game plan together for the interior along with a transfer case gasket kit to stop the last major leak. With the weather lately AC is moving up the list of projects quickly.

RPBurris · 06-21-2010, 09:55 PM

where did you get your master cylinder and brake booster? Are you running stock drums on all 4? That is a great looking truck. Youve done more since posting this than i have in 3 years!

Tomahawk30 · 06-21-2010, 10:00 PM

Wow, that thing really cleaned up well! Looking good!!!

Reed's72 · 06-21-2010, 10:00 PM

i ordered the master cyl, booster from Oreilys, still have the original disks in front and drums in the rear. thanks for the comments

dougo · 06-21-2010, 10:21 PM

That looks sharp... great job cleaning it up, really looks good. Love the GMCs!

**Dieselwrencher** · 06-21-2010, 10:32 PM

Keep the great work! It just keeps getting better! Very nice truck, and great job with the trim and engine bay!

Reed's72 · 06-21-2010, 11:02 PM

Thanks, I appreciate it! I wanted a truck, but needed to get something to haul the family... (easier to justify the toy - "hey honey - it's for the family!). But, I used father's day yesterday to lay the ground work for a truck... lol, but I think I have to now get in line behind my wife. Her turn next. But, love the GMC truck - looks good with the mags too... brings back memories of when I was a kid - my parent's '66 vette with those mags.

Reed's72 · 06-21-2010, 11:37 PM

That's the one problem with a reg cab, someone has to stay home. Not sure what part of so cal you in but my truck spent 30 + years in the Yuba City area.

A cali truck... that's a score out your way. Yuba is about 6-7 hours North of me, I'm in Ventura (60 minutes North of Los Angeles). Yup, wife, 8 year old, 9month old... - it does not take long to get the burb loaded with stuff for road trips.
