Re: My 52 GMC Build
I forgot to show this when I put my new steering components on. These are no notch drop tie rods. When aired down the stock ones where hitting the frame hard. These have 1/4" clearance all down. So I can still turn probably 3/4 the way to lock. riding really low.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Today I got the fuel feed line plumed in. I added a T and ball valve to aid in priming my huge fuel filters at the back. Fuel does not return to tank unless injection pump is spinning. ie: motor running or cranking.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Interesting, I've never seen tie rods stepped like that. Where did they come from?

Re: My 52 GMC Build
I found them at: silver star customs. They seem like really good quality. Might help give someone here an option.

So I was talking to my friend tonight about when we are spraying the truck and how we are going to get it done. I will get all the body pieces finished next week and he will take them to his work and start prepping. Then Oct 30 we are planning to take the truck and spray everything over that weekend. The interior will go '79 gmc charcoal and the rest is flat clear.

they look like a cast piece, which makes me think they are an off the shelf tie rod from another vehicle. maybe silverstar changes the taper on like a dodge caravan tie rod?

Nothing really pic worthy, I got the box sides finished. Tomorrow it's fender time.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
A bit off topic. After getting new tires for my '67 Jeep we went on an overnight trip 3.5hrs away and they work amazing.
Old vs new both 33"

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Yeah, I bet there was a noticable difference.
 They look nice!

Re: My 52 GMC Build
nice, hey if you want something pic worthy. I can send you photos of the inches of snow we got over the weekend (I could have thrown up). Glad to know there are drop tie rods, I'll look into those if I run into that issue.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Today I got the fenders finished up and all the panels loaded in my trailer, ready for prep and paint at my friends work.
A great way to finish cleaning the tar off the inside of the fenders is gas. I tried brake clean and de-greaser nothing seemed to touch it. Little bit of regular gas and a quick wipe done.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Beautiful weather so I got some painting done. Battery boxes, rear bumper went black inside clear out. The scraper wear bars got some paint, hope to put them on tomorrow. I also laid some long strand fiberglass to cover some bad spots in the cab. Here is a pic of how my rear driveshaft hoop turned out.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Looks good Lower50's. That looks like a big battery box. What size battery are you going to use.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Henry it makes me feel much better knowing there is a hoop front and back, having the drive shaft above the floor and everything so tight out back.
Did some more painting up front and got the scraper wear angles on. I bolted on 3/16" angle under the scraper bars front, middle and rear. So when they wear out I just make some new ones.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Well over the weekend a good friend of mine came over to help/do some body work. Even tho I'm not painting with color there are still some spots to fix. Door handles, cowl, A pillar. Then we are spraying epoxy primer like it has then scuffing everything. I am loading the truck on the trailer thurs and taking it over to my friends work where we are spraying it all Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Yesterday I picked up my alternator 130A. Had them put in a "W" wire for a tack signal to run the diesel tack I bought.
Also we are almost done with body work sprayed some epoxy primer on the patches. Tonight we scuff the new paint and its ready.
