Thanks man! Yours is really looking good.

creep · 04-17-2011, 12:13 PM

Quick (and possibly stupid) question. Are the grille letters on a chrome grille made of aluminum or stainless? I cleaned my truck up a little 2 days ago and forgot to do the letters. Need to know what to take to the storage unit to shine them up.

ruffrida2005 · 04-11-2011, 11:45 AM

Looks good. Good to see you got it out of storage.

creep · 04-11-2011, 12:40 PM

I have every intention of being in columbus.
We've already got 12 rooms reserved. But we end up cancelling half those because some of our club always back out from going.

Great pics from this weekend. Awesome looking truck you've got. When I saw the PT in the background that was the first thing that came to mind, "the color on that PT?" Kinda funny that you had just mentioned the color too.

Thanks! It sure got a lot of attention at the cruise. I don't know how many times I heard " That's f***ing bada$$" but it never gets old.

BigCarter · 04-11-2011, 10:01 PM

Lookin good bro, glad to see ya get some of that good weather up there so you can knock some of that dust off.

creep · 04-12-2011, 10:39 AM

Thanks Carter. Looking forward to seeing yours finished.

ruffrida2005 · 04-18-2011, 02:58 PM

You man have a Alum grill. That was a option then.

creep · 04-18-2011, 03:05 PM

My grille is definitly chromed steel. It has a couple small rust spots that need to be cleaned up with an S.O.S. pad. I don't know if the GMCs had an aluminum grille option. The letters just don't look the same.

creep · 04-24-2011, 01:22 PM

Thought this was kinda cool. My buddy's 305 V8 next to my 305 V6. The bottoms of both motors are pretty close to being equal distance from the floor.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 04-27-2011, 07:46 PM

Nice to see it out of storage..

creep · 04-28-2011, 11:38 AM

Yeah, I try to get it out anytime we have a nice day. That's about once a week.

coulter · 04-28-2011, 04:25 PM

Not yet, motor is together, need to get it stabbed in there one of these weekends.
BTW do you have any pictures of your steering set up, I'm having some troubles setting mine up. Just seems like the steering shaft is sticking out a lot further than any others I've seen so it causes the center shaft to hit the frame.

ruffrida2005 · 05-06-2011, 11:35 PM

You got to do anything else to the truck man? Any plans for paint or gonna rock the patina?

creep · 05-06-2011, 11:42 PM

I'm keeping the patina, at least for a couple of years. I still need to get the exhaust finished, get the alignment done, a new windshield seal installed and the front turnsignals wired up. I also noticed a small spot of tranny fluid in my driveway last time I drove it so I need to get that sorted out too.

CdM · 05-23-2011, 02:51 PM

Did you go with the p51 for any reason in paticular? Trying to make up my mind. Thanks
