I just got home tonight from picking up typhoon's 72 GMC Sierra Grande!

Pretty pumped about the 'big' brother.

I plan on using the sheet metal from the 69 to make the 72 a DD.

Nice addition Paul, your trailer is a little narrow for that 4x4, I see you added a board under it for height, I've had guys take off the hubs to get them loaded.

Anyway just messing with you, have fun with the new truck!!!

Yeah, we had to change a front wheel in the pasture to make it fit!

I would like to get my hands on a couple of factory dana hubs, tho.

Paul, Does it run. I cant find another truck for the life of me! Good Score. Guess this means You dont need to go parts huntin anymore huh.

How did the Tahoe handle the tow and how far did you take it?

Looking good.

Pro - It doesn't run - no motor. What kind of truck are you looking for? I know of a couple, but they are 2wd.

I'm always up for parts hunting! This guy in Eagan has a lot of parts sitting out in the pasture; a 3.07 12-bolt posi, 71/2 front clip, a 70 cube truck, lots of motors, trannys, radiators, etc. Let me know your schedule, I'll run to the bone yards with ya.

Cheyenne - The Tahoe handled it really well - kept it in 3rd gear and went 60-65 all the way home. It was about 80 miles home, mostly interstate, so it wasn't too bad. I hit the start on rush hour in the twin cities, so it took me almost 3 hours to get home
