Re: Dad's 1979 GMC Heavy Half Transformation
Wau!!! So awesome truck! I like very much when you installed to rear spacers. Now it is a perfect. Do you have pictures of that spacers? Do you use longer bolts or is it own bolts for spacers?

Re: Dad's 1979 GMC Heavy Half Transformation
The 1" spacers bolt on to the axle studs, then the wheel is bolted to the spacer. I believe I got them from a place called Custom Made Only. They are billet aluminum spacers. Thanks Mike

Re: Dad's 1979 GMC Heavy Half Transformation
Thaks a lot Mike! I understand what you mean. I would like to 0.5" spacers to our truck rear axle but that is impossible, because rear bolts is too long that 0,5" spacers and too short if I but only spacers+original bolts without extra bolts. But, maybe I can live without rear spacers.

Re: Dad's 1979 GMC Heavy Half Transformation
My youngest, 16 year old daughter, had a photography assignment and wanted me to take her to the park so she could take pictures. Thing is, she didn't want me to take the 17, she wanted to go in the 79; she loves this thing. So, what should have been a straight-line 10 minute drive, took me 40 minutes to go out of my way to get an iced tea before getting there!! I think I've put 500 miles on this thing in two weeks!!!!
Mike

Spent the day, again, cleaning the garage. I really dragged my feet getting this done today! Now I have a little more room. Mike

I've read through a lot of build threads over the years, enjoyed them all, but yours is without a doubt my favorite.
Awesome work y'all did. The finished product shows.

Re: Dad's 1979 GMC Heavy Half Transformation
I'm a huge fan of everything about your truck. Great work for sure. Understandably it's too cold now, but when it warms up you should do a video of the truck!

Re: Dad's 1979 GMC Heavy Half Transformation
Thanks Ilkka!! Had the truck out yesterday for a good drive, even the 16 yr old daughter drove it from home to the storage facility, its temporary home.
