Re: 58 GMC Project
I had to change to the mounting brackets for the alternator to balance out the air conditioning compressor & alternator. I went with the top mount set up from Billet Specialties. I had to change the fuel filter and fuel line. I'm also changing from a mechanical fan do an electrical one. I have the fan but I am waiting on the aluminum shroud I ordered.

Re: 58 GMC Project
Great looking detail on you engine. I noticed in a previous page of yours you were taking your cab in to get the floor and underneath sandblasted. Is there a reason that you didn't get the entire cab blasted. Only reason I'm asking is because I'm ready to take my cab in and I want to do it right. I heard blasting will warp the metal.

Re: 58 GMC Project
I could have sworn I left a comment already about your last pics???? Either way, it looks better all the time. I bet I am almost as excited about your cab being ready as you are! I can't wait until you get that sucker back in color!

Re: 58 GMC Project
Okay, I’ve been going through some picture post withdrawal. So here's what I did yesterday, the first day that's been less than 100 degrees in the last 14 day's. I installed an aluminum fan shroud and electric fan after deciding to do away with the mechanical one.

Re: 58 GMC Project
Hey Cal.
Its almost a shame to put a hood over that awesome good looking engine room. Do you get the cab back this week? Really looking forward to see it.
