Re: '66 GMC BBW w/351E and Factory Buckets
Well we have been slacking on getting stuff done lately, but we did manage to pick up some slack and get a little bit done.
I pulled the tank awhile back and tried cleaning it out... but I didn't do it good enough. Junk was still showing up in the gas. So i decided to go through the whole process of cleaning and coating using Bill Hirsch's kit. It was surprisingly easy to do so we'll see how it holds up
We also had been keeping our eyes out for a new rear end since the 5-lug, 2.73 geared axle wasn't working for us. After stumbling through all the local salvage yards, we ran across a never-installed rear end out of a 2007 colorado. It has a limited slip, 3.42 gears, and its narrow enough to run some fat rears later on. But for now some 2" spacers made the ralleys fit perfectly!
After all that was done we ran it to a local muffler shop and threw on some dual magnaflow's with 2.5" pipes and 3" chrome 45 degree tips.
