Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Just decided to take a glance at the the 47-59 board. Glad I did take a peek at this novel/thread. Your truck is fantastic.

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Thanks jdurant!

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Cal, I hope you can help me. I noticed on your build you used Brothers 1pc. power window kit. Did you have any issues installing them? The reason I ask is that I'm doing the same and the lift mechanism is too far towards the outside of the door. It looks as though I need to cut the inside of the door and reroute where the cable attaches. See in the pic below.

Thanks for any advise

Steve

P.S. I voted for your truck:metal:

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Hey Steve,

I had someone install the window kit for me, so sorry but I cant give you an answer. Try contacting Bothers.

P.S. Thanks for the vote!

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Oh well, out comes the saw.

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

did you by any chance switched the left and right of the kit around

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Nope... not possible. It only bolts on one way after you drill the holes.

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

You got that engine started yet?

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Not yet, next Saturday I will.

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

We really need to hit up the Pismo car show this year. It will be alot of fun. I want to say its like the second weekend in June???? Sometime around then at least.

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Let me know if you'll make it. I'd like to see the truck in person and get a chance to meet you.

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

I will do that if I go.

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

When are you going to come by and me finish?

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Hey Cal did you figure out the pushrod thing???

Snoma, you need to go and help dad out so he can get it fired up...sure is a shame that it is just sitting in the garage...lol.

Good luck with the fire up.

Bernie

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Hey Bernie, I did get it figured out. I had to rotate the cranks and the adjust the lifters. All I have left is to bolt up one more header and put the cap & wires back on.
