Re: Trusty Rusty - 72 GMC LWB

WOW! It's been a while since we've updated! Here's what we've been up to:

Firstly, we rebuilt the front suspension with quality MOOG replacement parts, and got rebuilt brake calipers for the front, replaced the disks, put in some new pads, ran new brake lines, installed drop spindles and springs, a very thick front swaybar from a squarebody c30, and then looked at how pretty it all looked!

Then, we started on the finishing products on the engine, including sanding down and repainting the fan, installing the waterpump, the alternator, intake manifold, and a performance HEI (not pictured).

We then rebuilt the rear end, replacing all the bearings inside of it, shimmed all the gears, replaced the axles, installed a limited slip diff, and then put it all back under the frame along with an axle flip kit. Later on, we replaced ALL the brake components on the rear end.

Lastly, we received our new "rear-mount" tank, trimmed it to fit, and then installed it!
