Re: '63 GMC Project

Thanks!

I drove it around for about 20 mins. today and when I parked it I noticed tranny fluid sizzling on the pan. I think it got really hot and seaped out of the dipstick grommet. I don't think the small framerail trans cooler is gonna cut it.

The suspension was unbelievably smooth. I was expecting a decent ride but not Caddy smooth. The only problems I encountered was an air leak in one of the cheap fittings I bought and a very small air leak in one of the Dominator bags where the rubber meets the steel bottom. Niether of which are the fault of the suspension design or the installation.

...and man is that motor strong. it really pins you to the seat.
