Re: My 52 GMC Build
Thanks. Ya airlift bags. Ya didn't like the crack, probably due to the fact I run at 110psi? but they have been in there for just over 2 years, so I figure I'll change them out to prevent problems.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Today I finished up my jack mount. The wheels are on a piece of angle iron and the front slides under some flat bar held up with 2x 3/8" nuts. Then I just use some tie wraps to keep it from bouncing. Now I can bring my jack with me

I feel more prepared now.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
So today I tackled the cab door wind lance or cab weather strip. I heard it's a real pain in the donkey's rear, but found a cool idea. I made a little tool that was similar to the rubber profile that I could slide down the channel. It will open up the channel and make sure it is clear. Then I started at the back top and worked sliding the rubber forward using WD40 as lube. Then I trimmed the back part to length and slid it straight down. All in it took 3 hrs (tool and both doors)

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Good work on the jack mount. I think I'll have to consider something similar for my truck.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Thanks it's good so far. I have to use this kind of jack because nothing else is low enough or strong enough to lift my truck when it is on the ground.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Maybe you could try the low profile harbor freight floor jack? I have a snapon one and it is awesome. It's the only jack I can fit under my 40 and Corvette without driving on blocks of wood. Back to the HF jack, they claim it is better than the snapon jack. I doubt it but it may be something to consider if you need a jack for the garage or at home.
https://www.harborfreight.com/3-Ton-...uty-63183.html Apparently snap-on is suing HF over this jack right now. They sure look similar...... I used a rostra cc kit on a diesel conversion once. It was a really nice unit.

As for the Rostra cc, thanks for the feed back I have heard lots of good things. It will make it nice being we have 2 trips planed in the US this year. Columbus OH in July (340mi) one way and going back to Charolett NC in October (760mi) one way. Plus all the other trips in Ontario.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
I was thinking about your little jack and it made me think of my mom. My mom carries a small floor jack in the back of her car. Smart cookie.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Well my cruse control unit came in I'm hoping to install that next week. This weekend I'm taking the truck to my pinstriper to get some lettering done on the doors, he is about 2.5 hrs away. And And we have a new family member..... Our french bulldog named CJ (after my 50 year old Jeep CJ5) he is 11 weeks old. Just got him Monday afternoon.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Had a great drive up and back from my friend Adams place "Petts pinstriping"
CJ our new puppy was a super star, he fell asleep about 5 min into the drives. The truck turned out amazing I'm so happy with how it turned out. He even was able to uncover the original lettering on the passenger side of the hood, 65 year old paint is amazing. 1st pic is my truck when it was in service

Re: My 52 GMC Build
In our travels we came across this little nugget of heaven. They are all for sale and don't seem to bad of price. We stopped in and talked to the guy over a beer for about 45 min on our way home.
