Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Eight years ago, I swapped the slant 6 and K-member out of my son's car and put in a 318 with the V-8 K-member, in direct sun at 107º F (that temp was in the shade). I'd probably die, if I did that today.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Yeah fellas, here's how I see it, and you tell me if you agree, maybe this may come useful to the Young Padawans, but when the wife and I bought our first house it was totally empty, we had no money left for furniture, and I remember my mom came over and there was literally no place to sit, and she could tell how we felt, and she said you have the rest of your life to furnish this house

similarly after 7 years on my first truck "build" and 4 on my second, I think the sun will still come up weather it takes me 1 year or 2 to finish this one [but not three, that's ridiculous, it's not a FORD]

kapish?

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Brutal heat and humidity hear in north east for the all of August + age = no progress I can appreciate why the G man took a break cause I did …. Now back in the high 50s low 60s in the early morning I’m back at it ….hence I’m looking at a 1 year to complete the rebuild I’m undertaking
Oh and I definitely Kapish

Although I / WE enjoy restoring everything I decided in order to manage my limited time to attend to less tedious efforts to purchase these a few months ago thanks for validating my decision 🤭 so if anyone wants bags and more bags of rusty nuts they can find their way to another address🤣
