Re: Dad's 1979 GMC Heavy Half Transformation
Jayson is doing some smoke'n hot work on my Dad's 79 GMC. CHANGE TO THE PLAN: The other night while I was traveling to Fargo, ND from Des Moines, IA late at night Jayson and I were talking about this project and my 78' build (Addiction). During the conversation, it was decided to take all the original parts (350/350, rear end with drum brakes) and put Dad's 79 GMC back to stock, except of course for the drop and that it's about 14/6" inches shorter. Will maintain the rally wheels, 8's in the back and 7's up front with white walls all the way around (Jayson didn't know that part, he's asleep right now). Matter of fact, I just ordered the tires last night. So, I've temporarily put a halt on the 78 while I work on gathering all the parts that are needed to put this 79 back to "ALMOST" all stock.
This also means that all the LS/4L603, fuel system, cooling system, disc brakes in the rear etc will go into the 78 after we make the swap in a few weeks.
I can't say enough about what great work Jayson has done and what a joy he is to work with!!!
I love my blast cabinet, it sure comes in handy!!!!!
Thanks Mike
Here you go, what I've been doing the last couple days in support of the main effort, Dads79GMC:
