Thanks Chizzler,I thought the same.not to plain not to fancy.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

These seat belt anchor plate's from Juliano's are a must.I have seen a lot of pulled thru washer's people have used on the floor of vehicle's..

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Belt's are in.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

1960 GMC dash from the backside.It is need of some help .Had to make a jumper for 12 volt as the Circuit board has deteriated over time. Really only need it for backlighting the speedo.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

After some clever rewiring and mating to American Autowire harness and the correct style bulb sockets (pc) style we have lighting for the gauges and hi beam indicator also working. Gas guage also. Mounted actual lh and rh signal lamps in dash. Installed an under dash courtesy light with a switch on the passanger side.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

So no radio in truck and in today's world we use cell phone's and Ipod's.The original cig. lighter is wired for and ready for use.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

I don't know why the past owners put all the hole's in the dash? I put misc. lamp's and period matching knob's in them though 2 of them became actual turn signal indicator's for left and right not just a lit dash cluster lamp.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Put in the bench seat back rest.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Bed wood. A basic farm pack of mis match . Stained today and came put fairly well. This past summer i let the wood gray out a bit to look aged.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Just had to set the bed wood down in to see the color.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

I like the look!

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

In the spare part's stash was 58 car shroud ,Modified it to fit the truck. Cut and tacked together for fit. Almost look's original.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Shroud loosely mounted .Ready to finish.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Thank's for the positive comment.Trying to keep to the plan.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Transmission cooler line's in.Fillin' tran's with fluid

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Underside view with aired up rear bag's . This no restoration but it is cool to see the original primer seal coat from GMC.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

The start of the exhaust from the header's out to the rear.Gonna have to be creative to keep tight high up and routed clear of everything.Left a clear route for it during the build.I think?

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Came out to garage to see the Bull had pee'd on the floor. Out with the driveshaft slip yoke and welded up and sealed.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Working on shroud still to get a somewhat original look to it .

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Antifreeze (coolant) filled in radiator and engine.Radiator cap needed my 2 bit's.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Set up a battery holddown for the start battery. Swapped out the auxillary optima redtop battery for new one as it was not holding a load anymore.It was a core battery I kept alive over a year and a half.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Cap is cool!

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

[QUOTE=66ChevyMax;7384209]Cap is cool![/QUOTE Thank's a small detail.The gas cap has it also.It take's a few quarter's for and $ for these ride's.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

The previous owner (po) had put the blower fan switch in the glove box. Using a spare knob I moved the switch to the dash .Adapted it to one of the factory hole plugs.The original factory AIR lever is now the cable to open the water control valve.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

HAPPY TURKEY day to ya'all . have good holiday.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

so the rear axle's will be re-drilled for 5 on 5 pattern. And also new rear brake's complete .

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Dropped 1960 gmc front shot. "Just cool I think". Maybe in the eye's of restoration or antiquier people they may feel this ruined. This is preservation.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

I dig it! Looking sweet.

Wade

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

,I am havin fun. Thank's

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Out with all of the old rear brake's in with all new.11 x 2 riveted.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Rear brakes's all assembled and reconditioned and ready to from backing plate's out.Waiting for axle's now to come from being redrilled.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Adapting the 1960 gmc hubcap's to later model 5 on 5 wheel's.This is still a budget build . I had some (impala) Caprice Police Cruiser rim's around so I used these for the Bull at this time. Kept it simple to keep the cap's retained.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

The axle's are back.Reinstalled them today into housing. Redrilled for 5 on 5 and turned down in the center to fit the later model drum's.FYI or BTW on these early Dana 44 axle's they use same as the big Ford ( torino ) axle bearing's very common and they are 30 spline axle shaft's.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Rear brake drum's are on. As other's have noted in the past on these build's 11 x 2 finned from later c-10's work and clear the backing plate.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Also the correct rear park cable's arrived and are now installed.Napa still offer's these.LMC list them though they are not for the 1960 to 63 dana's.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Rear wheel's back on .

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Lookin very nice. Love the caps.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Those caps really set it off, nice touch.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Thank you .,The cap's i just wanted to try to make work.

Re: The Snortin' bull
 

Thank's .I think the cap's are cool for a 1960 GMC there kinda' fancy.
