Re: 73 gmc short Sierra Grande C1500

I have made some progress, but it feels like this thing is taking forever! I finished up rebuilding the transmission yesterday, and bolted up the engine to trans. Mike (dads 79 gmc) showed up just in time to help me set it into place! Thanks again for the help Mike. After getting that in place, I cleaned up and painted the tank brackets, got the new tank mounted, than started plumbing. I bought coils of 3/8, 1/4, and 3/16 steel line, and bent up new brake, and fuel lines. I also got a roll of brake line protector, so the axle lines look like they are supposed to. Next step is cleaning up the rest of the engine brackets, and get the vintage air brackets painted up, install that stuff, and paint and install the drive shaft. Then it will be time to finish up the body work. This truck is a testament as to why they call it body work, and not body fun.....
