Re: 1989 GMC V30 Project

I've been dailying my truck as much as possible and trying to work out the last few bugs and so far its..

New rear driver side wheel cylinder is leaking
Front brakes still pulling to the right
Truck gets hot idling on a hot day or running 75+
Seat welds still broke
Still looking for the where the fuel gauge wire goes to
Trailer wiring is a mess

So I got my new springs from my friend they are 64s, so I'll be converting down to 16g tanks. Yes I'm going to run 16g plus a 40g suburban later which will plumb to the driver side but be option to also fill the passenger. I wanna see how these 5 leaf 64" springs work on dailying plus towing then go from there as compared to my 9 leaf which rides rough as hell obviously but they aren't 30yr old springs they were made about 10yrs ago I believe. I'm gonna try and make a side by side video with the same speeds on the same roads/bumps in a loaded and unloaded setup.

Also got my rear speaker mounts coming in so I can get some decent music, the original fronts are about done. Found my donor truck, I'm gonna buy it off my dad its a 99 I believe 7.4/nv4500 but its all the way over in California so for now it will sit.

Should be some more frequent updates in the next few weeks/months or so.
