Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Hey cal58 I used to live right behind CHS and then off of Minnewawa and Ashlan, but I just moved out by valley childrens hospital. You might have seen me around in a bright orange 82 blazer or my blue 77 suburban. But I still work in Clovis.

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

The color is 2003 prowler orange.

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Heck, that's still not far. When I'm done and you see my truck at a local car show, come up and say hi.

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Thanks a lot texascowboy!

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Project udate: I installed the Lokar shifter, a stainless steel door to access the frame mount master cylinder. Here's a few pics.

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Sweet! Are you going to carpet you truck? I haven't decided. I need to go to some more truck shows to get ideas.

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Yes, I will be doing carpet. I will be putting carpet over the access door.

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

you could take the door off cut the hole in the carpet and mount the door over the carpet its nice enough to see it on top of the carpet and eazier to reach too

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Looks like I'll be going with a black carpet against the biege leather seats/headliner/door panels. Thanks for your input!

Cal 58 GMC:
Nice clean work you are doing.
I asked about the CPP Tranny crossmember....I am in the process of installing my crossmember and I am having clearance problems. maybe because I am doing it wrong! Did yours install in front of the power booster bracket? And is the inside of the L shape bracket that goes to the frame resting on the inside of the lower frame rail or the outside?
Thanks and keep on trucking.

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Hey Cal, I'm glad you are tired of that ol orange truck & want to sell it to me, & now you need to focus on your new Love!

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Everything for sell at the right price;)

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

I had problems also with clearing the brake booster bracket. The crossmember is seating in front of the booster bracket with the L shape crossmember bracket mounted to the bottom of the frame. I had to use spacers I made for clearance. If you noticed in the picture I took for you, the crossmember is also turned around with the transmission mount facing towards the rear.
