Re: 70 gmc DIY build
The truck ran fine with the stock q jet but if you let ie sit over night or even all day at work you had to crank and crank on it to start it. So I decided it was time for a tried and true holley and edelbrock intake swap. Did the valve covers too. Was pleasantly surprised at the added power.

Re: 70 gmc DIY build
Drove the truck like that for a while just fixing minor things on it till April of this year when things got interesting. If you're one of those save the long beds guys look away now.
I bought this truck with the intention of cutting it down. After a lot of research I had put a plan together and it came out pretty good for my first time. Disassembly is pretty straightforward except for having to drill out all the carriage bolts because the heads just spin. Found a little rust under one of the wheel tubs. I'm guessing it was caused by fuel tank#4 in the bed. Since I'm working alone I figured cutting the floor on the frame would make it easier to move. I didn't splice the floor but more on that later. |

Re: 70 gmc DIY build
Measured multiple times and made templates so my cuts would be as exact as possible. But on the passenger side I had to put a jog in my cut to remove both the fuel door and filler hole for the in bed tank. I placed the horizontal cut so that it would be underneath the trim.
