GMC Guy · 05-02-2011, 04:41 PM

'87shorty · 05-02-2011, 04:53 PM

very nice GMC Guy you did some immaculate work there a major difference. lol.. did you do the work yourself or did you have it done...

'87shorty · 05-02-2011, 04:55 PM

post some pics of the whole truck... lol

77BBGMC · 05-02-2011, 05:06 PM

Search "yezzi", he has some great before and after pictures of his engine compartment.

GMC Guy · 05-02-2011, 05:21 PM

thank you, and ya i did everything myself.

here's the truck when i bought it as my first vehicle in high school.

and how it looks now, just waiting for a paint job...

it may not look that different, but a lot of time and money have gone into the truck between the two pictures. cab swap, new suspension, tires, interior redone, engine compartment straightened out, etc....

'87shorty · 05-02-2011, 05:55 PM

thats a gorgeous truck... i always loved that front end body style... mines is under construction at the moment but since its been bad weather outside i have to wait for the rain to finally stop... dang the spring season... lol

80chevyshortbox · 05-02-2011, 06:18 PM

not much for no wires showing but i still love it lol.

and a quick before pic.

77BBGMC · 05-02-2011, 06:25 PM

Sorry 87shorty, I read your thread on my phone and didn't see the last sentence about no wires etc., Yezzi's pics of his engine bay are pretty much original..my bad.

WHat did you use for header paint? I bought some high-heat black header paint, and it flaked off and headers have surface rust.

How long have yours been painted? They seem to be holding up well.

*78 Chevyrado* · 09-07-2011, 12:06 PM

my 305 to 400 swap in my old 87

thirdstreettito · 09-07-2011, 12:55 PM

I have to clean my engine bay, it's dirty as crap, I'll clean it when I do the head gaskets.
