Re: 1964 gmc 1000

worked on the headlights again 4th times the charm i think love this set up with the relays

Re: 1964 gmc 1000

got the e brake cables finely after days of looking found a place that just made me a pair cost 82 bucks

Re: 1964 gmc 1000

Hmmmm Emergency Brake cable....
I think you just answered a question for me.
I want to do the in-cab hood release mod for my 66, and I been kicking around ideas for a cable for this, but until now every idea I had would be either too short, or too short and probably not strong enough.

I like what you got going on here, hope you dont mind if I steal your idea!

What kind of place did you get those made at?

Re: 1964 gmc 1000

the place is called six states they sell all kinds of stuff in there little shop and then they have a cable shop where they make anything cable related and can do special orders like my cables they just made from looking at the old ones

Re: 1964 gmc 1000

Working on wiring still enjoying it kinda fun a good challenge tonight i worked on the horn i got rid of the stock horn and replaced it with dual high and low pitch tones supper loud massive improvement from stock there off a newer Nissan infinity (i know i felt funny taking off a made in USA to replace it with a made in japan)

I had made several trys tonight on the horn to get it perfect ended up setting it up with the relay system i used for the head lights works amazing for anything like this and my earlier attempts without the relays where much quieter then the final set up i recommend doing this upgrade with the relays.

Re: 1964 gmc 1000

the main plug going through the fire wall was always falling out and was a pain to put together so i took it apart and field the rubber grommet it sits in so it actually fits

Re: 1964 gmc 1000

my car got stolen today thankful it wasn't my truck lol the little bastards chucked out all my cleaning stuff for work brooms shovels rakes so they could flip up the back seat but didn't touch anything else just took it for a joy ride and ditched it few miles away drove around for a hour looking for my stuff no luck about 150 bucks to replace everything hopefully next time i will catch the little ****ers with my 357

Re: 1964 gmc 1000

That sucks Kro!! At least you got the car back, and they didn't take the truck!! You'll have to put a kill switch in it somewhere to HELP assure it stays where you put it.

Re: 1964 gmc 1000

You have been making some nice progress by the way!! Those roses are pretty cool too. You could probably sell those!

Re: 1964 gmc 1000
