Re: Decided to take my 81" GMC off the road
I wish I could work on my truck in shorts in February lol, mine has been untouched for about three months, hibernating away.
Keep up the good work!

Re: Decided to take my 81" GMC off the road
I finally got all the suspension parts in.. I ordered all MOOG parts.
Ball joints, upper control arms, tie rod ends, center link, purchased a steering coupler Assembly etc... Already had a front suspension bushing suspension kit, cab and bed bushing kit, chassis bolt kit, new shocks, drop kit with springs, flip kit and spindles AND Leaf pack re-done.. The c-notch is in.. Now its a waiting game to get the chassis blasted and have marine grade primer/paint applied..

Re: Decided to take my 81" GMC off the road
New gears installed 4.10 unit, final .measurements made and everything is closed up. Rear brake setup is completed using the ebay cadillac rear brake swap. I wished I used a camaro rear caliper.. might not be too late to swap. After the front rotors get here its time to take the chassis off the the table and put a set of wheels on to roll it around..
Next set of pictures will be with the custom bend brake lines and fuel lines. ��
