Build thread for the 72 GMC, finally. Thanks John!

It looks like a truck! !!!

I know it's coming back apart, but still. Looks great!

Thanks!

This part stinks. YAY it looks great! WHAM it's all back in pieces again. BOO!

I am starting to think that this involuntary assembly is a really good thing. It's forcing me to figure out which parts I need, which ones I don't, which bolts I should buy, and how to get stuff to fit. Since primer is the next step, it's perfectly timed.

I got the hood latch on yesterday. I'm just throwing it all together for now and will spend hours and hours replacing bolts and shimming and lining things up at the new house. Then it comes apart and gets all primer-pretty.

Tunatruck is safely in its new home.

Its owner is tired.

Picture of new home for tuna truck? Have a cold one, you've earned it

congrats on successful relocation of the tuna truck, may your unpacking go swiftly!

Bump

Still waiting on the pic of the Tuna Truck in its new habitat.

*taps foot patiently

The new house is a royal screw up. I will try to find time to snap a picture between chasing new and exciting leak spots.

oh no!

That's not good. Sounds like my brothers new place. He bought a just built place, like he moved in the week construction finished. First night we were there helping him move some furniture while his oldest kid goes to take a bath. Little did he know, running a bath upstairs was the signal to turn on the impromptu water feature on the first floor! Water started running out one of the can lights, while it was on.

Not the only leak for him, sadly, but it's a nice looking house and the garage is huge.

They finished our neighborhood with crown homes. Nearly EVERY neighbor in one has had issues. of the 7 or so homes.

2 have had their septic that is uphill of the house backflow into the house.

4 have had roof damage in mild winds.

3 have had permanant rain leaks.

1 had to have the entire front porch removed and reinstalled as it was off 4" from one side to the other.

Rest of the homes are full customs...

Do we need to assemble a repair crew and head out to you for a weekend home repair bender?

If so, I'm game.

HAHA! Thanks.

We're hiring a pro for the windows.

I'm doing the shower on the weekend of the 28th (when it arrives).

I'm pulling down crown molding tonight to inspect.

You're always welcome.

Unrelated to anything to do with anything, but I noticed that this thread is up to page 98. Can we get a roll call of people following just so that we can get it over the 100 page mark? I am not that patient.

Pete

I'm not sure anyone is following anymore

I still am. Even if it's just for house fixing pictures.

Same here, I'm following. I've read too much about this truck not to see it finished someday!

I've been following since I sat and read through the first 70-80 pages in one night.

I am going into withdrawal from the lack of updates.

I joined the board just to follow after discovering this thread. Flying home for a wedding and week and a half wrench party on my own 72. Oh the joys of being stationed overseas.

I absolutely love this thread!!!

Though I don't have much to contribute, I diligently check in whenever I see an update.

Page 99! Post whoring opportunity to get to 100 pages!

What whoring prize do we offer to the guy that makes 100?

I always check in when I see new posts in this thread.
