Had to amend the above post to take out the 68 GMC stuff. It is a completely different project. Did you do any posts on your 81GMC? If so please send them to me I would like to see it. How difficult was the swap in your estimation?

It has been quite a long time since I posted anything on my dually. However I do have some good news to report! I will be doing a Cummins swap in the early spring on the dually. A friend had a guy back out on a 5.9 12V he was selling. I went and took a look at it before Thanksgiving and we...

So I took the truck out today for a shake down run before we head Friday to Dallas for the C10's in the park. Before I left I topped off the tank to get an accurate miles per gallon reading Here were the stats: Drove 35.26 miles, and then filled the tank with 3.466 gallons, which equated to...

Got the second coat of bed liner on this evening. Getting the truck ready for C10's in the park next weekend. I have a decent list to get done before we go, but none of them is really big. Better get back to work! Stay tuned! :lol:

Last night I rebuilt my TBI. This would have been an easy job that should have taken 20-25 minutes if it had not been for the fuel supply and return hard lines. The actual rebuild only took like 20 minutes, but getting those hard lines back on was a super big pain. However I did get them back...

Depending on exactly where you are in Houston it is 8 to 10 hours. Yes the city is that big... You can do it in a day no problem. I like them lifted too! But slammed is my first choice:thumbup: I have done that trip several times and it is not that bad... Actually it goes through some very...

So I finally got the hood redone, well not 100%... It took a long time to get the replacement vinyl piece. The first go around USPS decided that I did not need it in a perfect delivery tube, so they played baseball with it and delivered the remnants. So order number 2, and that got here in a lot...

A vinyl wrap update. Houston we were having a small problem! The hood was having some lifting issues. Actually what happened was the ridge that goes down both sides of the hood I was seeing a lot of lifting in the valley (pic below). I talked with Vvivid Vinyl and it turned out I post heated...

Sorry guys I've been really lax on posting anything for quite a while, work has just been super busy, and that helps keep the roof over our heads and the parts flowing to the shop! I do have some upcoming mods and I need to finish several small projects. Stay tuned!

I did a short video at the end of the work day to look forward to the weekend! Check it out!

Sorry for not posting in a long time, but it has been too hot in the shop lately. However tonight I finally got all the AC hoses and the new accumulator installed. Next stop is to get it evacuated and filled with new freon. I guess this means I need to get the rest of the ducting done in the...

Unknown... I've been looking at it and I think it may be more of a challenge because it has a lot of complex curves. Not that they can't be done, they just take more time than the normal flat surfaces. So we shall see...

:thumbup: Word! Thank you sir! Yeah they have been one of my favorites for quite some time too, but I'm hopeless!!:bounce:

75Dually has a new shop dog... Er Fox! Opened up the shop tonight and this Fox was standing on my trailer. He made no move to run so I grabbed my phone and snapped a bunch of shots. He told me he had to split, but said he would watch over the truck anytime I needed... Yeah one cool shop Fox!
