Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Bought a set of Ralleys with tires off a 79 truck. Got them for a great deal, will probably sell 15x8 ralleys with beauty ring and caps.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Tried to unbolt rear springs with no luck. Now they sit soaking in pb blaster. Will find a pipe to go over my breaker bar tomorrow, hopefully they don't break.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

I got allot done today. I put in new shocks and springs on all 4 corners, and I installed new ece trailing arms, and put a dual exhaust that I bought from lmc. The stance of the truck is just how it should be now, and it sounds good as well.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Bought a slightly used rebuilt engine with double hump heads and a Muncie 4 speed to replace the old tired 42 year old engine in my GMC.

Played with the choke and pulled up on it and got it to idle without stalling. Found a vacuum hose with a 1 inch tear at the end.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Son and I swapped out the valve-body & governor in the 2004R










Also cut out the stock trans cross-member to replace it with an new one to help with clearance.












It was messy but fun non the less....

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

I wire wheeled the underside of my bed, primed it with 2 coats of Rust Bullet, and added 2 more coats of role on bedliner for undercoating and sound.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Finished engine and transmission install after rebuilding this winter. Worked out about 90% of the kinks that come with installing new and different parts... Vortec heads, new carb, new radiator, hoses, and all the Misc stuff. Oh yeah and then there was the heater core that couldn't handle the new install and started puking coolant everywhere. That will be next....

I love the Voodoo cam and the sound that comes with it. Almost wish I went with a little more rough idle cam but this has a ton of power to go along with the new heads. It still had the original motor in it when it came out and I absolutely love having the torque and hp that this truck was meant to have!

Drove it for about 2hrs home after getting every broke in. Took the long way home just to enjoy and get it all set.
