Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
I like the way the battery trays could stack in the compartment. It'd have been hilarious if the c10 rear shaft and the Lexus front had mated right up. Great work, keep it up. When this runs, it'd be fun to hook it up and get some comparative performance numbers.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
looks like both my Transmission and the short drive shaft sit at the same angle of 7.5°
please let me know if you all think that's too much on the slant? I honestly don't know if it is or not, we can raise the tail of the trans sum if need be |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
so see them alignment shims, I swear every time I work on the control arms I loose these, or mix them up, or loose track of them somehow

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
yes sir, and up until today I didn't know there was two different kind, no wonder my ball joint puller was slippin' off the tie rod ends, so I went to Oh' Reallys and rented the proper one
