Missed the back order, doh!

**Gregski** · 10-27-2022, 06:33 PM

a little video update on the electric iBooster brake setup

EV Conversion iBooster Brake Fail

**Gregski** · 10-28-2022, 10:43 AM

how I dropped off yet another drive shaft for shortening and monkeyfication

[ after taking it down to bare metal, primering it, then painting it BLACK like the truck gods intended ]

**Gregski** · 10-28-2022, 10:49 AM

how I picked it up [ this time it's personal, lol ]

**Gregski** · 10-29-2022, 11:34 AM

so I decided to re plumb the iBooster with much nicer and gentler sweeping bends, and then go to EVCreate to see if I got the front and rear lines correct

any guesses if I got it right?

**Gregski** · 10-29-2022, 11:45 AM

Who needs friends when you got the Bleed-O-Matic 9000

**Gregski** · 10-29-2022, 03:28 PM

**Gregski** · 10-29-2022, 03:30 PM

Goodness gracious, how many parts are there on these simple trucks

**Gregski** · 10-29-2022, 04:53 PM

am I loosin' my mind or do these sorta look like baby F14s? lol

**Gregski** · 10-29-2022, 10:07 PM

decided to divorce the '71 grille from it's upper bracket

unbeknownst to most, the GMC grilles are all the same, what's different is just the upper brackets

**Gregski** · 10-29-2022, 10:08 PM

fun with hammers

above one mangled '67 grille

below one less mangled '71 grille

yes they are identical

**Gregski** · 10-29-2022, 10:10 PM

I hope to derust this beauty

**Gregski** · 10-31-2022, 10:43 AM

will The Greg beat The General to see who will build an electric GMC first?

and is it me or are they contradicting themselves in terms of the arrivability date?

GMC has given the first look at its upcoming all-electric Sierra Denali pickup truck (arriving early 2024), previewing the truck’s electrifying grille and exterior lighting sequence.

The electric Sierra, which will launch in the popular Denali trim, will be the third all-electric vehicle in GMC’s portfolio after the GMC Hummer EV Pickup and GMC Hummer SUV (initial availability early 2023).
