Re: '69 GMC Build Thread.

Well, no real progress for over a month. Aside from checking fluids and putting gas in the ol' girl, there's been no problems since the tranny. haha.

And, thats really about it. been driving the tires off of 'er. 100 mile road trips without a glitch. She just keeps tickin' along. Quite a few compliments, just because it's an old truck, and "I had one like that...". Pretty cool, if you ask me. Even better when they realize I'm a young guy. Haha.

And, still getting a consistent 16+ mpg's. that includes some intown driving, idling, and a few burnouts and other nonsense of throttle mashing. So, I can't complain at all. haha.

and..thats really about it. Maybe i'll throw some pics up of the ol' girl. But..aside from that. just drivin' my love and lovin' drivin'.

-Sam.
