I built and did the majority of the bodywork on mine with my brother. He was doing a 68 Charger at the same time. Then right before paint I brought mine home for the part you guys saw.
Anywho I was at a family gathering at mom's down the street from my brothers. He got mega bucks so he has his motor and supercharger. Basically he is sorting out the bugs in his right now. It is looking good. I haven't seen it in years now. He finished his interior. He has a trans and driveshaft issue right now. His driveshaft loop was hitting the driveshaft under throttle. So he was modifying the loop. |

Victory! Finished up the trunion upgrade on my factory rocker arms today. The long block is all buttoned up save for the harmonic balancer and rockers.
Should be able to start pulling the truck apart next Friday after work.

Set the rockers on last night and snugged them by hand. Need to go through the sequence and TQ them down properly. I'll get the harmonic balancer back on and take care of the rockers this weekend.

The GMC has been solid every day thankfully. I have not got anything done, had an old injury flare up last Thursday. Spent all weekend in pain, unable to work. Doctor says that this could take 2-3 weeks to heal.
