The White Ghost gets a second chance

[Rigger]

Fully agreed on the reliability and hassle free running of the Vortecs.

Our family rig is a 2001 GMC Yukon XL (basically a Suburban) with a Vortec. It has 110,000 perfectly trouble-free miles on it. No problems at all. Good fuel mileage, smooth, very strong, very fast, very quiet, always starts. I cannot say enough good things about that truck.

IMHO, the GM Vortec is a great motor. Someday, I will have an RT Customs Vortec 60-series Cruiser. I'm still noodling on how I'm gonna get it done, but it is an eventuality.

HMMM sounds like Rigger is hooked?! No worries if you sell the Suburban you can always get another Vortec!

I don't know if I should post any more progress shots until I deliver it??? I want it to be a total shock. I could always post everything after it is done

GOOD PLAN RIGGER! Do you think she would miss both trucks??

 

[meatloaf]

nail biter huh? You can always pm me

 

[iaintscared1969]

Update

OK I will only post technical related items. These are your last shots of the actual reassemble until delivery.

Here is the dash going together with the new tach. The choke light is now the MIL.

[CruisinFJ60]

So, who's next????

 

[iaintscared1969]

I think B56TLC was getting ready. But I do have a couple still in works. I have PuddleJumpers 40 going to Austin for a Cut and turn then I will drop an engine in. I have a 40 coming the 19th for a total rewire on a 3FE/chassis. Also have Surffj62 bring his today from La. and I know there are a couple I am missing but...for conversions???

WHO'S NEXT?
