Re: 55 2nd serie GMC
Your truck looks great. Where did you get the 90 degree adapter for your lower radiator hose? I am running into the same problem with my hose configuration. I did see that Summit racing has something simular.
Thanks Marc |

Re: 55 2nd serie GMC
Cool truck, getting close to having a thunder coming from that shop of yours. I can feel it from here!

Re: 55 2nd serie GMC
Tonight was the night it started. Check this you tube,
. My buddy was over with his laptop, got the pcm programmed. Got a couple of minor leaks(tranny cooler)at first but after some twicking it was all good. it feels really good to know it runs. I had not heard that engine run at all since we got it from the wreck yard about one and half year ago. This is a big step forward in this project and my rewiring job works.

Re: 55 2nd serie GMC
That sounds great and it's idling ~550 RPM, the response is great.
Keep working at it. Tri5

Re: 55 2nd serie GMC
Here is the body put together. Still have to do some repair below the back window but she is very solid.

Re: 55 2nd serie GMC
Thanks, I'm shooting for the Super run in Brandon. That is if i can find a body man that can help me finish the body work without ripping me off. Do you know someone with reasonable rates, I just can not see myself paying 10grand for body and paint when all the metal work is done. Chrome was done at the chrome pit. The fan is 16". I live in Fannystelle just south of Elie, you can drop in any time.

Re: 55 2nd serie GMC
While the cab is at the body shop I'm working on the box. Got new box sides today, assemble everything together to see the fit, i can tell you it fits very well together when its all new parts.
