Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Not sure if Ken Stabilizer and the rest of the Raiders ( hint ) will like the blue ….I think they would prefer the traditional black on their uniform🤭

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
thanks I definitely had help with the reassembly, and four months later I'm basically back to ground zero with the electric conversion, except on a nice clean canvas, which I love the way it turned out by the way

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
So I ran out of the one pound of gloss black Eastwood powder coat to finish the anti swear bar brackets, as well as the brake bracket and it look's like the next bag won't arrive for yet another week: "Delay in delivery due to weather or unexpected circumstances." I just love FedEx
so I decided to work on something else and buy a pan friend bar man my new buddy and your forum buddy pjmoreland helped me remove the old one with his feet as it was cranked down to infinity and beyond and we installed this one and within minutes adjusted it a few turns and that brought the butt of the truck back on center, so much better already Last edited by Gregski; 06-28-2022 at 10:43 AM. |

I like to clean and completely disassembly the parts I will no longer need before tossing them...

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
its amazing what derusting every inch of a piece will reveal and expose, you don't need a perfect eyecrometer to see this discrepancy

Good stuff, love the jokes and the core support fix. Very ingenious.
