Re: Jason's 70 Big Block SWB Project
Looks like we are going to finish this job here in PA this week, the good news is our next job will be about a year and a half and close home for a change
![]() This is happening just in time to get the ole truck finished up. I ordered some more goodies this week to have when I get home, Fesler tail lights from Tommy, park brake cables, and a remote transmission cooler with fan. I'm going to try to get some things done Friday and take it to the exhaust shop on Saturday, then possibly a "first" drive this weekend ![]()

Re: Jason's 70 Big Block SWB Project
That's awesome news Jason, you will be able to enjoy your truck a lot more often working close to home. Hope everything goes as planned for you this week and you get to go on that first drive.

Re: Jason's 70 Big Block SWB Project
I had a pretty productive evening after I got home from work. I got the Fesler tail lights installed and the rear bumper brackets painted and put on

Re: Jason's 70 Big Block SWB Project
I want to thank Mike (mcbassin) for the heads up on the rear aftermarket bumper brackets because mine came the same way, and knowing myself I would have slapped them on and done the same thing to my bumper he did.

Re: Jason's 70 Big Block SWB Project
I have taken the heads off because I couldn't figure out why my engine has been overheating. I pulled the heads and there are no cracks in the head gasket or intake gaskets. Did a visual inspection of the lifter valley and heads looking for a crack. I can't find one anywhere. I bought a radiator off of craigslist Monday...a.day after I took the heads off lol. I've been working a lot lately so I haven't had time to take the heads to the machine shop yet. I have a feeling I might of cracked the block.

Re: Jason's 70 Big Block SWB Project
It's picked up a little, but I'm not going to get too excited. It won't last long. Company just throwing us a bone so everyone doesn't up and quit to greener $$$ pastures.

Sounds like it went pretty smooth on the install after you got the mounts fixed up. |

Re: Jason's 70 Big Block SWB Project
Thanks Mike, I got my bumper from GMCPAULS , everything went pretty smooth I had to slot the driver side bracket a little to even up the gap but other than that, not bad. Now off to park brake cables this morning!!!!

Re: Jason's 70 Big Block SWB Project
Well, I got the park brake cables on to the best of my knowledge. I didn't have any of the original or anything to go by bit I think I'm missing the bracket or clip at the pedal assembly that keeps the cable from moving when you press the pedal down. After laying underneath it for hours today I think I'm going to refab the transmission crossmember to gain a little more room for the exhaust. Didn't get a full day of working on it due to cutting grass and yard work

Re: Jason's 70 Big Block SWB Project
I might have one of those clamps if Scott doesn't find one for you. I still need to add those to my truck too.
I am checking with GMC Paul to get a shipped price for A bumper. I had to return my second one today it was bowed up in the middle. They were nice enough to just give me a refund this time. |
