As of this morning I have working wipers, tail lights and brake lights. For the wiper motor arm I used 1/2"X1"X5" but 1/2"X3/4"X3" would work. The center hole is 8mm with a 10mm step 3/4 of the way through. That is the profile of the wiper motor shaft. The pivot holes are 5/16" and I used a 5/16"X 1.5" bolt so the arm will pivot on the shoulder, then double nut. 2 vids of wipers.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
That's slick

Re: My 52 GMC Build
This is great info! Is that center hole tight enough to interfere with the splines on the motor shaft, or are you just relying on the end nut to keep it tight enough?

Re: My 52 GMC Build
I need to copy that instead of buying the 150 buck replacement.....hmmm, nice work amigo!

Re: My 52 GMC Build
That's slick! That's will help out a lot of us!

JJorgensen52 Bit of both the 10mm hole is drilled as a pilot for the arm and the angle down to the 8mm will grip on the splines. Then the nut will hold it as well. I ground a 10mm drill so it had a bigger angle on the tip. |
Re: My 52 GMC Build
super dope! what a great mod. I hate to admit I threw away a blazer rear gate before pulling the motor.

As of now I have gauges that as I can tell work and all my LED dash lights work.
I'm going to plug the block heater in tomorrow morning and fire the truck up. The only gauge that is not hooked up yet is boost. Attachment 1496096 |

Lowers, the truck is looking great! How soon will you be rolling? |
Re: My 52 GMC Build
Thanks 4DSEVEN
[QUOTE=JJorgensen52; Lowers, the truck is looking great! How soon will you be rolling?[/QUOTE] Thanks. I think first test drive will be middle of April weather permitting. I have a 2 week holiday trip coming up in 2 weeks, so after that I should be able to pull it out of garage to the driveway for some testing. |
Re: My 52 GMC Build
On Saturday my boys came out to the garage with me and they started the truck after a coin flip. I'm happy to say all the gauges work. :metal:
Here is a vid http://vid51.photobucket.com/albums/...psqaksapv7.mp4 |

I love the sound of them old 7.3's. Can't wait to hear it run by on the road.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Great work! Is that your radio below the dash with the pic of the GMC? Also, is the pyro/boost gauge a glow shift? I've considered getting one of their fuel pressure gauges but I know they have had big issues in the past with being bad.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Just caught the video. Great sound and a ton of cool features in your truck!
