'64 GMC 910 Resto-mod
Hi all,
I've been lurking around these forums for a few months, sourcing info on a project I want to start - a 64-67 Chev or GMC 4x4. I was finding a lot of trucks that needed the usual work (cab corners, rockers etc.) My dad found a listing online back home, checked the truck out and picked it up for me. I'm hoping to go back at the end of June/beginning of July to sort some things out, and drive it back. (About 2500 km, or 1500 American moon units). ![]() Full album here It's a '64 GMC 910 (Canadian K10). The previous owner said that it was repainted about 13 years ago, and that the paint is starting to bubble in some spots. It bugged his back to drive it, and he's only owned it a few months. Before that, it sounds like it sat for a year or two. Quote:
My plans for the truck are to (continue to) resto-mod it. I like that the fuel tank relocation has been done (it's huge - 35 imperial gallons...165L if my conversion app is correct). EXTERIOR
Question: I'm not big on the rims. I'd like to eventually go to front discs and at least a 16" rim. I only want to buy rims once, so if I get 16s will they clear discs regardless? ELECTRONICS
MECHANICAL With the big thirsty V8, and a lot of highway driving, I want to do a 5 speed swap. I'm leaning towards the AX15 from a 4.0L cherokee (I know I need an adapter plate, and the jeep driveshaft, for the slip yoke). I had a 92 cherokee years ago, and liked how smooth the engine and trans were. I've found a donor cherokee that I might have before I get the truck, heh. Question: I'd like to go to discs in the front. Does the fact it already have a dana 44 mean I don't have to swap in a whole front end from somewhere else? Also, the transfer case leaked, so someone took and the front driveshaft out, so the truck has been driven as a 2wd. This is also when someone redid the exhaust, so now the T-case doesn't fit back in there. Gonna take it to a muffler shop for that one. INTERIOR
If you guys notice anything else in the photos that looks like it might not be stock, please let me know! I wish I had more photos or info, but for the moment these are the photos and the list of mods from the ad.
