Rebuilt my truck... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ogilthorpe · 07-29-2007, 12:57 PM

Just wanted to post a few pics of my truck. Pretty excited - I finally got to drive it after about a 2 1/2 year rebuild! I took it down to the frame, installed power disk brakes, new suspension (lowered 4/6), new crossmembers, 350/700r4 (from a 250/3 speed), tilt/power steering, new wiring and gauges.

Hey looks great, i was thinking of getting the new style gauges myself. Keep up the great work, and drive safe.

Sharp looking truck man! Joe

So very nice. Maybe one day my truck will be as nice as yours.

64GMCHorsepower · 07-29-2007, 04:00 PM

Nice work, it looks great!

Ogilthorpe · 07-29-2007, 04:47 PM

Thanks all!! I appreciate all the comments! Those and the dirve today made it all worth it!
Just got back from it's first 100 mile shakedown trip (previous trips were around my neighborhood - neighbors gotta love me) - almost no issues (except flexplate rubbing starter gear in reverse). It's about 90 degrees here today and no overheating! I can't believe I waited this long for power steering and disc brakes.

RojoLoco · 07-29-2007, 05:22 PM

Very nice!!

DPowell · 07-29-2007, 06:18 PM

Hey Ogilthorpe,
Looks great! Where are you located? I'd like to check your truck out in person sometime.

Verrrrrrrrry nice in deed. You did your truck justice .... have to be proud. Now kick back and do a little bench racing and of course cruising.

Ogi -
VERY NICE!! Congrats!
Where are you in CO?? I grew up in the springs....

Your truck has the perfect stance (IMHO...) would like to know more about your 4/6 drop... all mechanical/static?? or is it bags & cutting frame?

Cheers to you!
Sam
