Yep, that does the trick!
Very nice video.
My French is really bad, but I liked it anyway.

The part with the damage, now I saw it on video, it was worse to see then "just" the pictures.
Respect to you to hold on and fix it again!!
As I said before, a Showwinner, one of the nicest around!!

Thanks for sharing!!

Well after an other great cruising season, the white stuff is on the ground to stay, its time to put the truck away for the winter.

smbrouss70 · 09-16-2017, 02:39 PM

Works for me now! Very cool, even thought the only words I understood was GMC and El Camino.

Jean-Marc:
She's a gorgeous truck! Also, nice to see another Canadian Veteran so close to home. I finally got my project into the shop recently... lots to get done before mine even approaches your's.

Out of curiosity, what size tires are you running? I went 245/45R17 front and 275/40R18 back but only because those were stock sizes for the Vette wheels I have. I considered getting a second set of rears and going 18's all around to better fill the wheel gap up front, or I could lower the front but I'd have to change my 400lb coil over springs to something lighter. I don't want a bunch of rake in the front anyway. Yours looks good the way it sits. Hope you like the vette suspension. Been lovin mine for 15 thousand miles now.

225/45R17 in the front and 255/45R17 in tbe back. I think the vette suspension would be great if the roads aroud here would be in better shape.

I can sympathize. Roads here seem to consist more of pothole than actual asphalt. Thanks for the info.

Well a new season of cruising is finely started. Good way to start the year, my truck is featured in V8 Passion. (Car magazine publish in French in Quebec Canada)

Thanks, im still enjoying it a lot, more cruising this summer in the forecast. Just under 35000 miles in 5 years and still going strong.

**JML55** · 08-16-2019, 02:41 PM

I think I have the start of a new build, 55 GMC fleetside short bed.

**JML55** · 03-06-2020, 09:35 PM

The green machine is getting some work done before the new cruising season begins.
New front wheel bearings, front crankshaft seal, oil change and a good under carriage cleaning.

**JML55** · 05-07-2020, 12:04 AM

Kim57 · 05-31-2019, 08:41 AM

Génial, très beau camion et bien mérité!

JSavoie · 06-05-2019, 06:32 AM

Bien d'accord avec toi northerngmc!

Jason 56 · 06-10-2019, 11:43 PM

Awesome truck... congratulations on the magazine. Plan on doing a similar LS swap. Hope mine runs out as well. Getting a lot of good ideas from your thread.

**JML55** · 06-24-2019, 09:05 AM

Was at Back to the fifties this past weekend.

Black_Sheep · 07-01-2019, 06:59 PM

I saw you and the truck on Friday morning driving in to Back to the 50’s, when I wandered over later in the day you were not around. Your truck looked great considering driving through torrential rain to get there.

Thanks, wasn't the nicest drive for sure but it wasn't the first time and won't be the last drive in the rain.

RockinKees · 09-08-2019, 07:47 AM

Ha!
That’s a nice start!!
