Amounted to almost 3 months with the GMC as my daily driver. Car is all repaired now just in time to tuck the truck safely away in the garage for winter, assuming we get some snow soon and can call it winter.
Seemed to need a lot of gas and only some oil over the past few months.
Had to repair the seat back frame one day after a clip broke off. Some others had been repaired with screws once before. This time I rewelded the busted spot welds on the others and the broken off clip. Not wanting to strip the upholstery or start a fire I used the TIG welder becuse it's clean and neat plus some aluminum foil as a shield to catch any stray sparks, not sure there were any.
PIC. 1 PIC. 2 I'd like to swap the pickup bed from my 52 onto the GMC soon. Also prepare a 14 bolt rear axle and assemble a disc brake single wheel front axle.
Unfortunately for the GMC I have a growing job/project in the machine shop after recently working out a lot of details and fixtures and now finally into production. Perhaps in the new year that will taper off to a more moderate pace and leave me some time and funds to work on the GMC.
