After 2 years and 3 months... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

incoma · 03-24-2006, 11:50 PM

I can finally post a pic of my truck. Naturally - its not quite done. I've still got to put the trim on the outside, swap the old front bumper with a new one, and align the doors and hood.

I'm not quite satisfied with the engine performance, and I need to hit the brakes one more time to get them grabbing a bit better -- BUT I drove it this afternoon around the neighborhood. What a rush!! All the teenagers were drooling. I loved it. The old guy has a kewl car.

I did want to thank all of you who helped me troubleshoot so many issues. I couldn't have gotten this far without your help. Seriously, thanks.

Gotta love a GMC!

mplex2000 · 03-25-2006, 12:05 AM

Sweeeet...us Okees appreciate a good truck. Even if we don't live there anymore

my truck sat in a barn somewhere in OK since 89 until I bought it last year!

Sweet!

Nice work, enjoy the ride.

kndall · 03-25-2006, 08:59 PM

Dangit and I was hoping to beat you onto the road. LOL.
The truck looks great, maybe I will see it in passing thru OKC on way to work in Edmond sometime.

sixty8c10 · 03-26-2006, 02:32 AM

we need more pics........nice truck

GMC71k20 · 03-26-2006, 03:12 AM

looks awesome. more pics too.

69_hafton · 03-26-2006, 11:08 AM

It's hard to put the finishing touches on it at that point, all you want to do is drive it! Sadly, I'm nowhere near taking pics after 4 years...

incoma · 03-26-2006, 02:43 PM

Thanks for all of the kind words! I'll work on some more pics.

Some folks mentioned the stance. I'm sitting with an ECE 2.5 / 4 drop, and 255/60/15 tires for now. I'm going to be installing 255/60/17 later this year, on Centerline Tracer rims. I'm just waiting for the rims to go on sale.

Has anyone with the 2.5/4 drop had to relocate shock mounts to attain the proper shock angle? Right now the rear end bounces around something awful.

5150 · 03-26-2006, 03:39 PM

hey, are you going to be able to bring it to the Nationals this year. I know you bought a lot of parts from Tim last year.

incoma · 03-26-2006, 03:57 PM

I don't think I'm going to be able to make it. I'm about 10 hours further away this year. I'm now living in Oklahoma City.

As a matter of fact, I still haven't installed all of the stuff that you guys helped me haul to my Dad's truck! I've still got all of the trim and front bumper to install. Until the truck's tuned out and "proven" I'm going to leave the old bumper on it so if I need to use the tow bar, I can just hook it up and bring it home.

Nice job. Luv that Grill
