All the different race cars I've worked on,.... during the specific track set up, we still used a string or measuring tape to double check.
What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

Dropped mine off to the body shop for rust repair on the rockers and "dog legs". Hoping for a quick turn around time because I'm missing valuable fishing time! As soon as it gets back from the body shop I'll be getting some savings together for the AMP power steps. Hoping to have those installed before the summer so my GF can stop falling out.

How bad are the dog legs?

Just rusted on the edges towards the bottom, underneath everything is solid. The body shop tech said since I'm keeping it, might as well go ahead and get them replaced. All new metal for rockers and dog legs. $4000 and change.

The strip of metal between the rear wheel and the back door edge.
Common area to rust--besides the lower sills/rockers.

And now I know.
It'll be nice to have all new metal and be rust free. I plan to have the grill and bumpers color match. Also I may get the boost auto parts tow mirrors eventually.

Oh man, that makes me really wish I would have bought one without rust, lol.
So I checked my crankshaft thrust clearance today, and spinning the crank would make the dial move a couple thousandths, and I got readings between .0015 and .004 depending on where the crank was. I'm guessing that is in spec...
Decided to go ahead and pull the crank and cam back out to get this piece of "lint" by the number 4 cam bearings hole. Turns our it's a weird piece of casting or something, so I guess I'm gonna stick a magnet down there and maybe try to knock it off with a round file, idk
Picture is looking down from the crank bearing hole towards the cam bearing.
