Re: Project Screamer - '72 GMC K2500 + DD 4-53T

Very nice and clean. Did you paint it all together or apart?
Ps: I think your fan belt is a bit loose.

A mix, i removed the water pump, oil cooler, oil pan, rocker cover, turbo and exhaust manifold. The remainder, I painted together. I had the exhaust manifold and turbine housing ceramic coated.

I left the belt loose because I can’t set the vertical height of the fan until I have the engine in the truck and the fan shroud installed.

Painted!

The old Jimmy is painted. I drove down to Denver yesterday and picked him up.

The paint job is GORGEOUS! I don't think he looked this good when new.

I had the bottom of the cab coated with Lizard Skin to help mitigate the noise from the engine and transmission. I used Lizard Skin on the bottom of my UNIMOG cab. It made a big difference.

He's going to sit on the trailer for a while. I'm still working on the chassis and drive train.
