1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
Hi guys thought I would get started on a build thread finally lol. I have a web page I have been building for years on this truck but thought to share what I got with this truck on here as well. I am working on getting an l92 and 6l80e engine and trans home here this next week and will getting some photos of it up here and on my webpage here very soon. Definitely doing the speartech harness setup since he can set up a pontiac gto shifter to control the trans od switch and 6l80 transmission without any problems

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
you can kinda see where I started over 12 years ago on this ole beasty first vehicle I ever bought an downed outright without assitance from my parents. Many an afternoon rolling her down parking garage ramps at work to get her started when the engine oil would kill the starters lol. She has come along way so far and with any luck end of 2011 will be dragging rice burners down I75 with my 4.56 geared rear end.
in these you can see where I am working on adapting the 2008 dodge 3500 disk brake plates to the axle will have more pictures up in the next few weeks when I get hold of the machinist again and we get the delrin plastic pieces for mock up ready. once those are in place will be getting the exact depth and thickness set to make adapters out of 7071 aluminum which he says will be more than plenty for keeping the brakes in place ![]() Sean

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
here are some pictures of the painless 67-72 harness I am heavily modifying to fit in the gmc so I have a lot more circuits to work with.. After about 40 hours work it is turning out beautifully.

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
61 it is a factory stock motor and tranny from the escalade 403 hp 445 ft/lb vvt v8 with the 6l80e 6 speed auto. gonna have to watch out for cops when driving 4.03 1st gear in trans plus 4.56 in rear end possi'd shouldn't need much more than factory hp with my truck and the gearing it has.

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
Sean, I saw your other thread on the T-56 transmission. Are you not planning on using that anymore, or were you ever? Thanks for the info and invite, I'll see if I can make it.

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
Hey Jeremy,
yeah I gave up on that since the trans wasnt gonna be able to handle my truck. Would've blown it up lickity split. My truck is too low geared and too heavy for that transmission. I dropped the 6.0 awhile back thinking might do a cummins swap and found out that was too dammed difficult so am back to gm engineering agin ![]() Sean

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
Well got a bunch of clearancing work done yesterday ont he rear brakes and from what I am seeing going to have to make some some small stainless spacer bushings for the rotor to lug mounts right now the rotor can shift back and forth on the hub and I dont want that happening during braking power application so will see what the machinist can come up with there this wednesday.
Waiting on the dirty dingo mounts and trans tail housing to come in as well so will have some more pics up next week on my days off. Sean

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
Hey Guys,
Got the dingo mounts in today and looking at these beauties. You can slide the engine back or forwards up to 2 inches. Here are some pics of the mounts off the engine will be painting them tommorrow after I get my errand running done along with some more work to the rear brakes. I am having to wait to have the aluminum adapter blocks shipped in apparently the dallas locations has some wuality control issues with there 6061 aluminum per the company rep today. These are going to be some sweet mounts since they adapt to the old style mounts. Thinking might be better to powder coat them rather thatn painting since I have a powdercoat shop close by ![]() Sean

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
Been looking at my fuel tank Idea and going to scrap it just too dammed big lol. &0 gallons for that truck yeah wonderful but the tank is going to interere with my rear view mirror setup. Here is what I am looking at now. Just a tad taller than the bed rails 45 gallon with fuel sender and line openings.
http://www.northerntool.com/shop/too...6745_200306745 Found a performance shop in north richland hills today texas that is a licensced GM performance parts dealer and factory mechanic gone solo to open his own shop, been open about 10 years, and has a full dyno. Prive for a custom built harness installed is 700$ for the l92 engine and 6l80e trans he said he can do the rocker switch for the manual mode and a tow haul button button as well to match up to my lokar shifter. Gonna be modifying the lokar shifter rod to work with the 6l80e since it has the same shift number as a 700r4 ie 5 position. the guy at the shop has computers in hand the E38 series and all the other goddies to make this engine run. He has a some bracket setups specifically for the 67 up trucks as well that are package deals. here is the link to his site. He doesn't list the custom harness setups on there he told me about them on the phone today: http://xhpsolutions.com/home.php Sean

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
Hey Guys,
Got the engine brackets painted. Got some news from painless they are working on a l92 vvt with 6l80/6l90 harness setup. They asked me to test fit and run it but since my engine isnt even in or near running I am going to have to pass on it. They are looking for someone to test fit and do a trial run on a vvt 6l80 combo atm. Will have the engine brackets placed on the engine a little later today and go from there my wifes plans for an alaskan druise have put funds on hold until may so will concentrate on other little things while I wait such as my harness installation in the cab of the truck ![]() Sean

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
Next month wont be getting much done other than the brakes. But April I have 3 paychecks lol first and last to the wifes determination to go on an alaskan cruise this summer. Middle check get the machinist paid up on and start gathering the transmission parts together to get the engine and trans in place in the truck.

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
here are a few more pics of getting the engine compartment ready. The booster is from a 1979 gmc 3/4 ton bought it at oreillys auto. The power steering lines were made by a shop one end has sae american threads and the other end of the power line has a metric fitting for the newer steering pump. The circled holes on the firewall I am going to be working on filling in. Just gonna go simple on it wire brush clean the areas around the holds and jb weld some metal over them. The shifter boot is for the lokar shifter I am using. the 6l80e is like the 700 r4 shifter positioning has 5 positions. 5th being the manual mode which I will do a rocker switch for since speartech knows how to wire it up. Also being doing a tow haul switch as well some where in the wiring works. The center hump you are looking at it common in the earlier 60 chevy and gmc 1/2 and 3/4 tons with a 2 speed hydramatic in em. I paid 100 bucks for the entire truck I got this one out of
