That will be an awesome trip! Looks too far East for a swing through Illinois though you would be very welcome.

Re: My 52 GMC Build

someone needs to nominate this for the unusual powertrain TOTM, so much more than the usual cummins swap!

Re: My 52 GMC Build

Saw this beast near my cottage this weekend. I talked to the owner it's built as a mud truck for competition. 2.5 ton rockwell axles powered by a 460ci. At some point I am going to get a pic of my truck parked next to it LOL.

Re: My 52 GMC Build

So last night I went to a small car show, fund riser 15 min from my house. There where some really nice vehicles there for a small event, maybe 50. My Dad came with his green 1951 MG TD you can see beside me in the first pic.

Re: My 52 GMC Build

Today we did our drive to Woodstock for a car show fundraiser. It was a 1/2hr at 60 mph in 30C/86F, truck ran great. It was very comfortable cruising at that speed at 2300rpm. It's not going to brake any land speed records but it gets up to speed real quick. Met up with a few friends that live over there and ended up winning "Most personalized vehicle".
