Re: My build 63 short fleet

Re: My build 63 short fleet
Looks good but I have a question for ya. I have a 63 GMC SWB for my wife but the dash in hers only has the one bump not two like yours. Is it just a GMC thing or is your cab a 60-62?

Re: My build 63 short fleet
60-63 chevy has the two hump, GMC 60-66 are all the same like the 64-66 chevy. But the Gmc dashes are a little different from the 64-66 chevy dashes.

Re: My build 63 short fleet
Got some more done today.
I had to modify the lower mounts for the rad. Got the rad all mounted in. Notched the panel to clear the mounts.

Re: My build 63 short fleet
Welded a mounting couple nuts to this bbc power steering canister.
Also dilled the side of it and welded a bolt in so I could install a return line. Used 1 existing holed and drilled the lower hole.

Re: My build 63 short fleet
Thanks for the compliments. I'm trying to do this with as many parts from around the house as possible. That has been laying around in a box for about 5 yrs.

Re: My build 63 short fleet
Thanks Chief. I hate throwing stuff away so it usually goes in the rafters or the shed out back or I donate them to someone else's project. When I got all the part together for the truck the leftovers are going to JohnnyG for his new project. He has some good ideas.

Re: My build 63 short fleet
I painted the das and gauges today. I disassembled the gauges and painted the inside grey to match the seat. I have another set I will use that are not faded and have all te needles. I just used these to see how it would look. Also going to use a different clear plastic as this one has some spots on it.

Re: My build 63 short fleet
Great job! I like what you've done so far. I can't wait to see it finished. After seeing your truck, I am thinking of putting my truck back together and just drive it like it is.

Re: My build 63 short fleet
Thanks! I like the way it looks for now. Eventually it will get based with a dark midnight blue and a white top. I can't wait to drive it.
