Re: My 52 GMC Build
joedoh Did it shut down the city?
![]() So last summer I had the truck insured at my regular insurance company with no appraisal and basic liability, fire, theft. Last fall before we drove south I got an appraisal done and it came back more than the total cash I had invested. So I was happy. This year I was shopping for insurance and my company came back with a great price. Last year I payed 629/yr no appraisal. This year 772/yr with the appraisal and I added collision. So full appraised coverage: liability, collision, fire,theft with no restrictions for $143 more, sure sign me up. Now I have to say I don't even pay that much due to the fact I only have fire and theft on it from November to April, and that price is for a full year. Getting truck out tomorrow, tomorrows weather sunny and 11*C/52*F not too bad.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Saturday went to get the truck, hooked up the batteries and she fired right up. Put 100mi on it on the weekend just loving life. So nice to have the truck back home again.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
So today I wanted to get the headlights switched over from HID to LED. Good thing because the one HID that still worked was all cloudy (ready to blow). Bought some H4 plugs to plug in the LED's it's the same plug that the sealed beam have. The pictures show the steps, then just install like normal. I had to cut out all the HID stuff glad that is all gone. They are very nice and white, I'll get a pic tomorrow.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
sweet man, good feeling getting back out in spring. I'm gonna miss spring and most of summer since I'm tearing my truck back down. bags, new heads, all disc brakes, new rear, new exhaust. Have no time and money as it is !!! but it will make driving more fun. keep logging them miles and hopefully fuel prices don't continue to rise.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
If your happy with the light output send me the link to where you got these if you don't mind. My lights in the 48 are not bright enough for my liking.
Thanks Marc

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Here are the lights. Also I have the same LED lights in my Jeep here is what it looks like. Low then High. The picture doesn't even show all the brightness. I'll get a pic from the truck soon.
This is the bulbs I bought. Just shop for a 7" lens that takes a H4 bulb, like from a newer Jeep jk. http://www.ebay.com/itm/S1-PHILIPS-H...RYcx51&vxp=mtr

Re: My 52 GMC Build
I really like those LED bulbs. I got the same brand for my wife's excursion. I also put them in a 98 Dodge. No issues with the LED's compared to the horrid HID set ups.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
So today I used my truck as a truck and picked up the wood I'm using for the new bed. Then started working on prepping the cool new bed. Also my friend Joe sent me this pic from a week ago when I was skating down the expressway, about 1" off the ground at 60mph.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
I love looking at your build, it makes me really happy to know that I am not the only one that likes off-roading and still built a lowered truck!

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Very nice pics! I'm in the middle of bagging my 40 Ford. I don't think it'll be as low as your truck when driving down the road though.
