Re: '69 GMC Build Thread.

Well.

Nothing really productive has happened as of late. quite the opposite.

The tranny ist kaputt.

I got it pulled today after school, we're thinking the synchros on 2-3 went out, so I'll tear into it soon to see if there are any nice bits of metal and such.

If not, and the synchros look decent, we suspect pilot bearing, etc.

If it is the tranny, I have a replacement out of a '67 C10, just it's about half the length. So that means I'll take the driveshaft as well, after I get it fitted with a new carrier bearing, etc.

So, thats where she stands right now...on jack stands. heh.

I'll keep you all posted.

-Sam.
