As far as I know. But I am usually only looking for 8 lug anyway so I could be wrong.

some progress this week

[KroAutomotiveInc]

for Jason





i believe thats what your looking for hope the truck being on jack stands dont matter

[KroAutomotiveInc]

front wheels are cleaned up and ready to paint front axle is next on the list needs cleaned and painted also need to wire will the front bumper and finish welding the top plate on then clean up grill and paint grill and front bumper

[KroAutomotiveInc]

possibly going to shoot the body with the rustoleum paint in the gallon they have a little darker blue then in the raddle can and black

[1985-GMC]

Just a couple of tips. Get some enamel hardener and add it to the rustoleum, that will make much better paint out of it. Also I strongly suggest using rustoleum red primer first then scuff it and spray the black, if not it will start to flake within a couple of years.

Anyway it looks great, I love those year trucks!

[chevy_man5]

The grill picture should work. Can you e-mail it to me? Then it wont be resized which will make it a little cleaner, and easier to work with.

Is it going to be roadworthy on the 7th?

[KroAutomotiveInc]

yeah it should be good enough for a spin

should i add that to the primer to and will the hardener make it thinner?

[1985-GMC]

I wouldn't worry about it in the primer, just the paint. If anything it would probably make it thicker, you'll need to reduce it with acetone in order to spray.

Made a few decisions today about what to buy for the truck this pay check. I decided that i want to get her on the road soon as possible so im going to work on the lights first relays on front lights local ground on rear tail lights. Adding a few lights as well will also be ran off a relay then a full brake job. and continue working inside painting finish painting grill and front bumper front wheels are almost done also want to do front axle. As for the body i will wet sand it down to the blue there will be primer and teal in spots then get her licensed and insured for winter i hope?

[KroAutomotiveInc]

got 3 relays a box of 30 amp fuses and a beefier switch for the lights

[KroAutomotiveInc]

few major things needed in my mind to do is e brake system is shot front to rear it still moves but barely very damaged in areas to i can get them build like on my 64 but costly also need the front one to. need to get the rear drive line back on and the front back where it goes and the transfer case has a problem will post a pic of it
