Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100
Is the center section a different color? Not sure if this was a factory option or a DIY job.

Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100
why not get your truck running better and glass in all the openings before worrying about the upholstery?
fyi, the timing marks are on the front of the motor, not the flywheel

Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100
The seat cover looks like an upholstery shop made it. Aftermarket guys have replacements you can install, or a local shop could make one using that as a pattern if its what you want.
Welding cost is subjective, best to get bids locally. I ended up doing all of mine because the best price I could get locally 10 years ago was $250 per patch panel (labor only), welded in and ready for final body work. that was for cab corners, eye brows, hinge pockets. I would expect steps and floors would be more because of the work to brace the cab and more fitment, making sure the doors align right, etc. The guy was basing it on $50 per hour shop rate. Other places would not do the piece work, they wanted the whole body work job.

Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100
Well I'll see what I can do with this welding thing. I bought a Lower bottom Door skin yesterday and next time I am going to buy a the right door skin and a hinge pocket

Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100
Shiney! I always used old bike inner tubes for the chain covers. If they do not have it put a small hole at the bottom of the bend to drain off water and condenstation.

Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100
The center of the filler cap on the plastic boat tank should have a little knob. Loosen it and the knob unthreads from the cap, which opens the vent for the tank. That should fix your pulling a vaccum in the tank issue. I've got a lot of vehicles running on boat tanks.
Ogre, you really shouldn't keep giving ignition advise if you're not familiar with the straight six's. The whole distributor body is rotated by the vacuum advance, so the cap and wires twist with it as the vacuum advance moves it around. That's normal in this case. It's not like a distributor body held down with a clamp bolt and only the breaker plate being moved by the vacuum advance, the whole distributor is being moved to accomplish the same thing. |

Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100
I've messed up the Timing on the truck by removing the spark plug wires to help set the Distributor where it needs to be according to other truck owners of the GMC 270 engine I'll figure something out sooner or later, the tail gate is still in the shop getting fixed so I hope it will be done this week sometime

Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100
If its there check the front eyebrow above the windshield and A pillars where there meet the top, usually ones leads to the other. Good news is the inner and outer cab pieces are repoped. Go back thru your earlier posts, I remember guys giving you the instructions on how to R&R and wire the distributor.

Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100
No clue how it gets to this point...mice or what...Mind boggling
I've wired the distributor, just no clue on how to set the timing and where it needs to be, it won't go there and if it does it pops and spits
