Again, great video!! My biggest recommendation in any restoration is take lots of photos and measurements. Also, tag and bag all your parts and make an inventory sheet. I know that as for Chevy engines go, the Powerglide engines are not recommended for use. That is what I hear from many people. Too many internal small changes specific to the Powerglide transmission I think. There are seal and shim kits for the drive line ball joints plus these old trucks always leak some fluids. I like your lifting rig you made. I would reinforce your cab dolly. I see the cross 2 x 4's bending. OK, on to the next video.....
I appreciate the recommendations! Definitely organization will help with any build, esp with all the parts that come with it. GMC didn’t make any changes to their engines when putting a Hydra-Matic trans behind it but I won’t be using the original engine. I’ll be putting a new one in soon!
I wanted to say thank you for sharing your cab cradle design. I built one myself and it worked beautifully.
Im just glad I could help someone out! Good luck on your build!
G'day I love your GMC
Thank you!

Is that a shop hoist or engine hoist? The engine hoist has more reach I believe. I have a shop hoist
It’s an engine hoist but if I’m being honest I definitely didn’t know there was a difference
I have a 1948 Chevy truck I would put a Chevy 350 small block. That would give your truck more careicktor
350s are sweet but the GMC 302 is going to be a good running for this old rig
What are the dimensions of the wood lift
I have it in storage now but I just took measurements off the cab
Could you make one and sell it to me?
