Re: '72 GMC K25 build 454/4L80e

Well I finally got a chance to take the K25 out for a long drive. I washed the thick layer of dust off...her first bath by the way...and took her for a nice 35 mile run through the back country roads to Wimberley and back to the shop. Wow. What a difference in steering and handling that new steering link and alignment made...very nice. She rides so smooth, and loves 70-75 mph on the freeway thanks to the 4L80 overdrive.
You might also notice I put on a new set of black step bars. I didn't like the small aliminum steps that I had installed...they looked to dainty for such a big truck.
She still hasn't gone a 100 miles yet, lol.
Here's some pics.
