Re: 1968 GMC - Ol' Blue

You guys....it runs! I mean, it really RUNS. Saturday we got a lot done:
-Sealed up fuel pump leak (thank you Rectorseal 5)
-Finished the trans fluid lines
-Finished the coolant lines
-Bled the brakes
-Installed shift linkage
-Filled all fluids

We had it running just before lunch - I couldn't believe that it fired right up. We finished up a few items after lunch and by 4:30, it was ready for its maiden voyage. So we threw the seats in it and put about a mile on it. It was starting to get dark, it was a little chilly, I don't have any glass in it and we had to hold the doors closed, but it was awesome. This thing flat out RUNS. I was so glad to hear it start up and that most everything works. No check engine light, no leaks, fans function just as they should, and it's got a nice chop at idle. The steering is easy and the brakes are strong. We were doing about 25 and I gave it about half throttle and the tires broke loose since there's hardly any weight on the back.
