My 73 GMC Project
« on: October 12, 2008, 05:42:53 pm »
I have the truck for about 2 years. In that time I did, what I think, alot of work here is a before and current pic.





It currently has:

New nose
New inner and outer rockers and cab corners
New used windshield
New tinted rear sliding window
Rebuilt 350 w/10,000 miles (so Im told ::)
New exhaust
New radiator, electric cooling fans and water pump.
Harwood fiberglass cowl hood

I need to get updated pics of the engine and stuff. I got rear brakes coming soon. I want to thank everyone here that gave me inspiration to continue with this. Also thanks to this site's store for the bumper ;D and patch panels that were awesome at a great price!

Ill be uploading pics here

Pretty much going along the lines of a hot rod truck. Flat black, some chrome (the usual factory stuff) no trim or drip rails. Have not finalized the interior color, but Im leaning towards a black & gray one. Motor is stock for now, but later on the usual add ons. Cam, heads, etc.

Just a quick update. New valve covers, spark plug wire boots and thermal sleeves



here is my cooling fan set up(been on for a while)


water pump and power steering(been on for a while too)


I got to get some breathers or pcv for the valve coverrs. For now I have the old oil stoppers in place. I remove them when I run the truck :-\

Well, I think I should update this :P Here is what I did today before the thunder.


Painted some parts. Found out the cup on the paint gun i have had a crack after filling it. It served its purpose. Painted 2 other vehicles and worked on this one. Not bad for ebay and $40 :o :P



Fitted the trim back to see how it will look. Originally was wood grain


Yep it was a Grande :P Now going to be a stripped down hot rod


After seeing how great the trim looked. I decided to go with a all black interior. Maybe a bit of chrome or billet accents. But mostly black, its going to be hot in the summer :P

When I get more pics they will be going here http://share.ovi.com/album/DarkReaper79.73GMC
