Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
Found another junkyard with a gold mine truck hehe..... got a set of gmc custom emblems from the truck, then a week later went back and got a factory 65-67 am radio, a few knobs etc radio/speaker support mounting plate, stewart warner amp meter (not sure how to test to see if works)..... Also having to change the gear ratio in my axle to better suit the bbc 8.1 and Allison needing to drop the 3.73 gearing to make it happy from the 4.56. in the past got talked into a Detroit no spin diff when rebuilding my dana 60 not quite satisfied with it so started hunting for a power lock diff assembly lol. Awhile back I picked up a replacement axle since my original dana spindle surfaces are hammered due to a bearing welding it self in place :/ ..... Bought a 69 dana leaf spring axle from an ole boy for 100$...... Started hunting up power locks which are difficult to find..... well last night I spun the brake hubs on the 69 dana 60 thinking hmmm never pulled the cover to check what was in it lol and lo n behold a 3.54 gear set and power lock assembly in the axle lol. talk about a nice find two problems solved in one lol..... so no to find a dana/spicer 3.73 gear set and get it to the rebuild shop for a check out and refreshening....
On another note got curious and hooked up that old gmc am radio to power and a speaker set and by dammed the thing works!!!! Sean
