Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
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? |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
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 |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
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). |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
I enjoy watching, the electric brake booster concept in general is very interesting.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
but I'm done boring you with bolting up ancillary foreign parts to this American truck, you did not come here to see Honda brakes, or Prius steering, you are following along because we are doing an Electric Conversion damn it, so...
I went out and bought a new tailgate |
