Bath Day
Today is my day off... so I finally got 'ol "Creeping Death" out of the crappy shop I have and gave it a bath. It's been sitting all winter, and I just finished up a CCP brake booster and M/C install. I also installed all new SS brake lines from Inline Tube.
I have a thread in the "shop" forum about how damp and crappy it is in the shop on the property I have. My truck litterally was rusting as it sat inside the shop. Which it doesn't need anymore help in the rust area...  So here are a couple of shots after the bath... You can also see some of the rust on the valve covers. They are just chrome cheapies that I will soon replace. The exterior is clean, but under the hood, and the interior are a little dusty...  Gary

Re: Bath Day
Bath came out alright ,,nice truck ..as for the shop condensating,,I had that problem in Western Oregon too. seems all steel ,,especially cast steel sweats with beads of water ,so I understand where you are coming from on this.. it seems the certain humidy in that part of the country makes it happen.. I used a air forced fan in my shop to squell the most of it ,,my shop wasnt insulated so keeping a fire going day and night was not an option.. neither was electricity either as the kiliwatts add up in a hurry ..

I know some of these trucks were available with black tops from either the dealer or the factory. But not sure if GMC's had that option. Either way... it's different enough where people always notice it. Thank you all for the comments... Gary

Re: Bath Day
do you have rear discs?
Im thinking about doing the CPP M/C and booster as well but they have a few options. Do you have an adjustable prop valve? |

Re: Bath Day
Truck brakes are stock... front disc and drum rear with all new parts. I don't have the adjustable prop valve that I know of.
