Long time no see.
Are You going to Ken's to do the engine?
If I had time I would run up there and help, but I'm working harder than
ever now.
I am getting Miss Smokey back on the road soon, after an 8 year hiatus.
Very long story but I had to give up the Smokey project, Smokey is a storage
building
now. I did finish the aluminum floor however and it added a lot of rigidity,
with the body supported
at the 4 corners, I could remove the support from a front corner with only a
little over an inch
deflection as I recall.
Miss Smokey may not look like much, but she is going to go, stop and turn.
I am installing the 3.70 that Jim brought me at the Marion rally where I
last saw you.
I am going with in tank fuel pumps.
I already have 1 rear stabilizer bar, may go with 2.
I am going with Jim's drum reaction arms, I don’t need disc.
I am going with Jim's hydro boost system but using an electric pump.
I am going to find some sticky tires, everybody should do that, age out is
much more of a problem than tread wear anyway.
I think I can make Her stop like a car, we'll see.
To me brakes have always been the biggest downfall of a GMC!
Damn, seems like old times!
