That is such an awesome looking truck. Makes me want to get after the 79.
man, that rig is looking cool....
Thanks guys!
It looks way better in the pictures than for real but that is what I wanted anyway. If it's too nice I wouldn't want to use it for a farm truck.

Need to play with the loader and make the mountain a nice play hill.
Used to be fun to drive over but now there is bales around it and big holes from us taking dirt out of it. So there is no good place you can keep going on it anymore. Pretty pathetic that is the only thing on the yard that isn`t flat.
Kris`s Mom and Dad had to buy the most boring land in Alberta. Gmc caps on a Chevy is some kind of sin me thinks
Mixing Gm and Chev is Ok if there is nothing else...but I don`t like it.
Way back I had a 78 Jimmy with a Chevy grill. Another guy in town had a 78 Blazer with a GMC grill!

Looks awesome!
Thank you!
Hey could you do me a favor!? Could you measure the distance between the trim on the back 1/4 panel on your truck if you get a chance.
I don't think I got it right on mine!? Looks funny to me.
These ones...I don't have the other side on yet and would like to get it right.
Even my kid said "Is it suppose to look like that! "
I was fairly cold out side yesterday and the truck was out overnight 10f the truck pops out the exhaust till its warm.
Any ideas?
Doesn't do it if it is parked in the garage. I run dyed farm fuel in it , I wonder if it has some ethanol in the gas and it`s freezing?

Sounds like my gmc grill with Chevy tailgate I got goin on with the 80 right meow
Sounds like yeah have some kinda miss? I know my k5 used to do it cold till warmed up.
your talking about a 50* difference right?
maybe the choke mixture is slightly lean in the colder conditions, and/or the timing is off a few degrees from optimal (I think we did go a little conservative in the beginning)

It was -12c out side Dave. The garage is never colder than +10c
I could fiddle with the choke some at least see if it is setting and coming off like it should. The timing is the same as when you set it...could advance that some more I guess.
More than likely I`ll just leave it in the garage.
It was -2 F here last night. No problem with the ethanol in my fuel.

Yeah It was just a thought...maybe I'm getting condensation from moving the truck from inside to out, plus the tank is usually mostly empty almost always!
Thinking about it with the old 305 it popped out the exhaust when it sat outside in the cold too. But that motor was never tuned proper.
It has been it the garage for a few days now, I`ll start her up today sometime an see how it is. If it`s still popping I`ll check the choke and pull some spark plugs for a look.
