64 GMC rebuild update
Well, it has been on the side burner for the last month or so, but me and my son finally got back to work.....
We pulled the engine and tranny, removed the seat and gas tank, column also pulled the old master cylinder and heater assembly and fan out, and also pulled the wiring harness...... just need to pull the cab off, and the frame finally goes to sandblast Have also been pressure washing and degreasing to clean up as much of the gunk as we can off the frame and front end..... Tomorrow we will tear the front end off the 71 GMC i bought for the disc brakes....... it's fun to hear him say "I'm bored, lets go take the truck apart some more!!!!" Anyway, hopefully in a week, I will have a cleaned and painted frame with the disc on the front and the new rearend on the back... later guys!

It is the heater core and the fan assembly, the rest of it is under the dash..the directional control for heat or defrost. The pull switch for ON/OFF and the fan speed are mounted on the dash of course.....
I am looking at puting an A/C unit in when I get the chance.....

Squizzleboy, if your Heater core is under the dash and you only have one knob that turns, pulls out, and controls everything then you have the economy heater setup. I've got the same one. ChadMorris that looks like an awesome project truck. I wish mine was that solid.
