Re: Dad's 1979 GMC Heavy Half Transformation

OK, just returned from the Northland; "Ya sure dontcha know!!" Couldn't help myself!! I was born in MN so I can say that. Ben a long day for both Jayson and me. Jayson worked all night and didn't get much sleep and he went and picked up a windshield. I loaded up my truck and trailer with everything I could find related to the 79, and I mean everything. Left about 1100 and arrived a bit late at around 1430; a little slow with he load. We got to work immediately.

Pictures:
1. Pulled the total drivetrain from the rear to the LS, then loaded that on the trailer after unpacking all the stuff I brought up north.
2. Once we pulled and packed away the LS/4L60e, and the rest of the drivetrain, we focused on putting the 350/350 and rear w/drums in place (flipped).
3. Lowering truck on rolling chassis.
4. Cab on frame with it's new shoes and 7" rally's.
5. Then Jayson showed me how to install the windshield. Installing was the final task for the day and the "End-State" for which Jayson wanted to achieve.

What a day!! Jayson was a great host and task-master, kidding on the task master part! We got it done! Just got home an hour or so and thought I share more of the great work Jayson is doing!!!

Enjoy, and have a great day!

Mike
