More pics of my 65 GMC

low79fx · 10-21-2009, 12:10 AM

I wish I could post more than 5 at a time.

**slepysal** · 10-21-2009, 12:17 AM

cool what motor? what did the serp belt set up come off of ?

low79fx · 10-21-2009, 12:24 AM

Motor is 350 sbc,serp came out of an 86 GMC stepside.

low79fx · 10-21-2009, 12:18 AM

This is just a look as I progress sloooowly.

low79fx · 10-21-2009, 12:22 AM

Here I finally got into tearing out all the old wiring and started routing in the new.

19GMC63 · 10-21-2009, 12:29 AM

Nice pics... looking forward to the rest.

I do ask though that you please keep your pics in one thread and simply reply to it to add more pics instead of creating a new thread every time. It keeps the board uncluttered, and makes the project pics easier to follow.

If you have a lot of pics, I suggest you create a Photobucket account, it's completely free and makes posting pics a lot easier without size restrictions and whatnot.

Thanks.

low79fx · 10-21-2009, 12:34 AM

Cool I got it. My bad.

**DPowers** · 10-21-2009, 09:30 AM

Looks good- what are your plans for it?

low79fx · 10-21-2009, 10:00 PM

Right now just trying to get it road worthy.Got a little out of hand when I started cleaning the engine.Started slapping parts I had laying around.You know how it is one thing leads to another.But seriously I needed a ride because well I got my oldest in college and he's taking my daily driver and I needed something to get to work and back.And well lets face it Obama Motors Corporation will never build them like this anymore and I wasn't about to spend a years wages on a new vehicle.

low79fx · 11-15-2009, 07:49 PM

What do yall think of these in this?

62 Bowtie · 11-15-2009, 08:19 PM

Nice work those headlights are gonna be a huge difference, someday I'll upgrade mine

ruffrida2005 · 11-15-2009, 11:16 PM

You got a nice looking truck getting worked on.

jgh64pkup · 11-15-2009, 11:37 PM

cool truck
what valve covers are those

low79fx · 11-16-2009, 08:13 AM

Valve covers are just some tall aluminums I got of ebay for about 30 bones.

low79fx · 11-27-2009, 08:58 PM

You guy's think these will work.

low79fx · 11-27-2009, 09:04 PM

This is how they look as the sun went down.What do you'll think.

Joemomma1 · 11-27-2009, 10:24 PM

I like. The blue is a little on the ricey side but still better than before. Did they have non colored setups? Did they come with that backing plate?

markeb01 · 11-28-2009, 01:18 AM

Whoa - those headlights look wicked. Too modern for the style of my setup but I'll bet they work a lot better than the old sealed beams. They would look great with some PIAA 510 Ion fog lamps I use to run. From the sides they appeared to be bright blue, directly in front they were radiation yellow. Sliced through fog like daylight, but looked too modern so I put them on my late model daily driver.

66GMC-Canuck · 12-09-2009, 11:03 PM

Love those lights if the trim rings don't fit how did you hold the lights in?

low79fx · 12-09-2009, 11:24 PM

I used the stock rings but had to enlarge the i.d. to slip over lamp.I will have to warn you do not let it get away from you as it will bend the hell out of them and beat the crap out of your hands to say the least.But yeah the rings are in place to hold lights in place.

low79fx · 12-22-2009, 10:26 PM

Got the tail lights wired in and working,next wipers and exhaust.
