Default Re: '65 GMC 1500 project. From the Netherlands

Received the reground lifters yesterday. They are very nicely ground and then polished with ceramic media, resulting in a very nice finish. The correct radius has also been ground in, if you put two lifters with the faces against each other you can rock them back and forth. Thank you very much, Steve.

Also installed the missing gun rack. The holes were there, and I like the touch as a firearms enthusiast. Just something an old pickup should have. Can't drive around with guns in the rack though

Need to remove that duct tape in the cab, but it is stubborn stuff... Been on there for years.

Also did some mocking up to check all the carburetor linkages. Made a steel fuel line as well. The fuel filter is placed between the frame rail line and this steel line. This prevents the gas in the filter from boiling and flooding the carburetor. I had problems with this in the past.
