Pics Of My 86 Gmc ??????? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

DCRANER · 02-16-2004, 09:11 PM

Trying to post pics of my GMC, but no success.

I have them saved in a Kodak file as a jpeg but have no idea how to get them to this site.

Sorry, this is new to me and I am just stuck.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hey, DCRANER -- When you hit Post Reply, there will be a box at the bottom with a button that says Browse beside it, click browse and choose a picture, then hit post reply, and it should post your picture here

If you still can't get it, email the picture(s) to me at !Russell@ZieglerDigital.ca! (remove the ! they are just there to throw off email address harvesters) and I will post them here for you

DCRANER · 02-16-2004, 09:56 PM

Testing to see if pic shows up.

**swervin ervin** · 02-16-2004, 10:00 PM

Save the photos to your hard drive. I suggest in a folder you can remember. First though, make sure they're not too big. If they are the board software won't allow you to post them. Resize them in a photo editing software to around 5x7 inches at a resolution of 72.

This should work.

DCRANER · 02-16-2004, 10:01 PM

I did post reply, then browse, then I saw file foe pic. But, do I open it because that is the only option? I just do not get it, I must be missing something very simple.

Russell · 02-16-2004, 10:13 PM

Yes, choose Open

DCRANER · 02-16-2004, 10:37 PM

E-Mailed pics to Russell. Please note that the truck is not done, but the basics are there.

I hope all of this trouble was worth the wait.

Still cannot figure out why I cannot send jpegs. But I will look inti this.

Thanks to Russell again.

Blue Beard · 02-16-2004, 10:55 PM

Russell · 02-16-2004, 11:47 PM

Pictures are in!

This is a beautiful 1986 GMC! You outta be proud DCRANER!

**swervin ervin** · 02-16-2004, 11:52 PM

Nice!!!! I love the color. Something to be proud of for sure.

Now, let's see about getting some drop parts and lower that thing.

DCRANER · 02-16-2004, 11:55 PM

Thank you very much for posting the pics and your kind comments.

Still have to do B&M shifter, exhaust finishing, Billet Steering Wheel, Billet Gauge surround, March Pulleys / Power Steering Pump / Alternator, MSD Ignition, and detail / paint engine compartment, etc.

Truck at paint shop to redo Cowl Hood and some touch ups.

Thanks again.

Doug

Free88 · 02-16-2004, 11:56 PM

Nice ride. You should be proud. Color is nice as Swervin commented. Very clean and well detailed.

Slonaker · 02-16-2004, 11:57 PM

Wow! That's nice...

Thanks all, I still have a lot of work to finish. But, to Swervin, it is slightly lowered, about an inch or two in the front and about 3 inches in the rear.

Are you kidding me!! That truck looks AWSOME!! that is exactly how i want my truck to look!! Great job man!

ohh and if you dont like it i could always take her off your hands!

MylilBowTie · 02-17-2004, 12:33 AM

Very Nice

Looks like I got some new wallpaper

Before everyone else asks and wants to know what we all wanna know. What all have you done to the engine?

DCRANER · 02-17-2004, 12:36 AM

Well thanks again. I was lucky to find this "rust free" 86 a few years ago, came from Texas.

Once you get started you just seem to keep going, and since I did not have to deal with body work I put the time / money towards trying to do a really nice job.

But, I have boxes of stuff to go on and will take pics as I go.

Thanks.

Doug.

Well the engine is a GM Raceshop "ZZ430" clone. If you are aware GM produced 430 examples of a killer 350 small block about 6 years ago, very expensive and all came with stamped serial numbers.

So it is a 350 with 430 HP and 430 Lbs. Torque, and once I add the MSD and the Radiator Fans it should be about 450 HP / Tq., I hope.

Opper77 · 02-17-2004, 01:01 AM

I'm turning green this very moment..very nice

CRRoy71 · 02-17-2004, 01:09 AM

WOW! That is a super sharp truck. Sure makes me wish I had a 2 wheel drive.

apstguy · 02-17-2004, 01:25 AM

DUDE! Beautiful! I love your truck!

**N2TRUX** · 02-17-2004, 01:26 AM

DCRANER that is a sharp truck. I agree with Swervin about lowering it though. Regardless of what you do that thing looks good. Do us all a favor and get some good quality pics of it outside without all the garage clutter....

DCRANER · 02-17-2004, 10:22 AM

Actually, it is slightly lowered, as I was trying to get a little cleaner look without going too far from the stock look.

When back from paint shop next week I will take some full shots outdoors in a good location.

I am looking forward to getting all of the other goodies in the boxes on the truck soon.

By the way,I have a black billet grill to go on but I think I will get a polished one instead. Any thoughts?

Thanks again.

Doug

Ric83 · 02-17-2004, 10:39 PM

All I have to say is WOW!!

You have a really nice truck!!
I think those valve covers are pretty sweet.

Hey Tyler, thanks for the comments but mine looks like a clone of yours. Your truck looks terrific! I really like the grill. I have a black one in the box but don't think I will use it, I like the look of yours better.

My truck, although a GMC, was also a 305 with 700r4 and a 3.08 rear.

Very cool.

Doug
