Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Yeah, that old part doesn't need to go into that new electric vehicle, so just send it to me.
Gonna be cool.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
I really want to convert my C10 to an EV, as it fits my entire ethos, but this looks so incredibly daunting that there's just no way I could take it on. Very impressive MacGuyvering skills you have!

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Really? That's awesome. Careful, I might take you up on that. Yes, Portland has amazing breweries and distilleries. There are roughly a dozen cool bars too just within a mile of my house. I love Portland.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
a quick shave, cause you can't weld rust or paint
and a bit of gentle persuasion |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
speaking of "rolling" you got a access to our web cam or something?
daughters Mazda 3 is in the garage getting a new TCM (pronounced: $728 tiny box) so I had to roll out Creepin' Death for all of the HOA to see and I've been wrenchin' on her in the driveway Fun Level: 2 |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
maybe some of youz can learn me something, my '74 had welded nuts under the floor for the trans tunnel to bolt down to, this '71 doesn't
does this mean they felled off or did they not do that on the 67-72s ? please and thank you |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
I think the 4 WD or big block trucks had the bolt in "high hump" transmission cover whereas your run of the mill low hump trans tunnel (ie: floor) came on the 2 WD trucks. I had to install a high hump tunnel and just used a rivnut tool so I can bolt it down. I love those things.
