Re: Updating the 72 GMC

I assume Point Harbor is on the coast ? I would take the sway bar but I had never heard of that place.

Beautiful build by the way

Re: Updating the 72 GMC

I've got a '69 GMC C2500, it's getting a Camaro TPI and T5 (with an S10 tailpiece), disc fronts and power steering from my old '80 C20 parts truck.

Right now we have 265/75/15 on all 4 corners. But I'm thinking once we are done with this round of upgrades going with some 275's in the back and 255's in the front depending on clearance.

Re: Updating the 72 GMC

We have been picking away at the GMC but with the oppressive heat and getting our regular work out the door it is taking way longer than we would have liked. We did get the new hides mounted and installed.

Re: Updating the 72 GMC

Alan, Your truck looks just right. If you don't mind me asking what brand of tires are they. Thanks, Randy

The fronts are Cooper Cobra GT 255/70/15.
The rears are BFG Long Trail T/A Touring 265/75/15.

I hated to mix the brands but this was the look I was going for.
