97 sas'sy Sierra/ 80 Cheep 10: tales of a phat block

Lol yeah she's a tough go it seems


You making fun of my Bluetooth driveshafts @max 02 ? :rotfl:
 
Hacked up the factory crossmember, prob should have built a new one from scratch. Would have been easier.

Had to move it out of the garage, so I took it for a burn. Quite happy that the vss works and trans still works correctly :saweet:

I was just gonna say Buck's auto wrecking here has a few thousand aluminum T-cases laying around their Chevy area...

Our bucks auto is terrible, poor selection of trucks. Seems most big name wrecking yards have crushed the old stuff :doah:
 
Ours here still has the classic and vintage car section. Probably 50 cars and trucks from 1941 to 1975, and they don't crush them until there is nothing left. Most of that stuff has been there slowly getting picked over for years now. The regular area rotates through pretty quick though.

Our's had a bunch of vintage stuff, mostly cars. When it changed operators, they crushed it all. Funny thing was most of the stuff was complete, seems like a waste. But scrap is scrap I guess.
 
Cleaned up some extra wiring, half ass cantered the steering wheel, trimmed the front bumper a bit(needs more), changed the badly leaking transfer case output seal and drove it 50 miles round trip to my buddy's to measure it for shocks.

Rides not bad, pretty sure tires are way out of balance, cruises just peachy at 70mph and open hedderzzz are kewl. Especially when you do burnouts in a shop :haha:

This is prob the first time I've ever flexed the truck out since I owned it. Not near the frame twist of any squarebody I've ever had.

Well we got a snow day at work today, put a couple hours on the truck aside from having a good nap with the dog this afternoon :yawn::rotfl:

Bolted the shocks on, didn't feel like messing with those stupid butterfly looking upper mounts for the rear. So I made a couple tabs at work last night.
