Re: '72 GMC K25 build 454/4L80e

Thanks guys. It's been 4 years of off-and-on work. I haven't done much since this past Spring because it's just been too damn hot. I did get out there yesterday and today to install a new tierod centerlink...the old one had a slight bend in it and was causing some alignment issues...MUCH better now, and today I installed some 6 degree axle shims in the rear to correct a slight pinion angle vibration...again, much better now.
I snapped a couple of pics of her sitting there in all her dusty glory.
With the alignment and pinion angle issues corrected, I can now take it out on a long shakedown cruise...hopefully at least a 100 miles or so. As it is, I've only put 31 miles on her so far in some shorter runs around the neighborhood.
Sorry about the pics...it's hard to photograph in the dark barn.
Just a couple very minor things to do now.
Casey
