Re: Grumpa’s 72 GMC Denali
Good to see another Fairbanksan on here Cruiser! We’ll have to catch up and compare trucks one of these days. It’s going to be a good while before the truck is back on the road, but hopefully by break-up next year it’ll be ready to go. This year I am focused on the chassis and hopefully next year is the body. It’s fairly straight and very little rust so it should go pretty quick. Thanks for the offer of a hand, I may have to call on you one of these days! I did post the motor and trans on CL and it sold quick, then I think the buyer took what he wanted and relisted the rest of it.
Last weekend I got the L92 and 6L80 cleaned up but found some metal in the engine filter and rocker area so that’s going to need some further investigation, hopefully it is a simple fix. I also pulled the tcm out of the trans so it can get reprogrammed and started to prep the suspension for reassembly. Machine work on the t-case input bore is taking longer than anticipated but there’s plenty of other items to work on but I’m hoping to starting fabricating engine mounts in another couple of weeks.
