Re: '60 GMC 4x4 Long Fenderside
Thanks for the heads up! I will try to be careful and not get any on it. Is there a better one available, or are we stuck with this one?

Re: '60 GMC 4x4 Long Fenderside
Thanks Bomp!
I have been following your thread. My son and I both love the idea of stretching the cab like that! We didn't get much done today. We went and got some more parts from 63 Spud this morning. This afternoon we put in the choke cable, finished painting the differential covers, cleaned up and straightened up the garage a bit, and plotted and planned our next step. Almost forgot the kick-butt pulled pork we made today too! YUMMM! Going to work on a friends car tomorrow morning, then hopefully get back to playing in my garage tomorrow afternoon. |

Re: '60 GMC 4x4 Long Fenderside
Actually got to spend some time on the truck this weekend.
Took apart the front hubs, cleaned everything up, repacked the bearings, and put it all back together. Here is my son working on his side. He watched me do the first side, and pretty much did his side on his own. We put the differential covers back on, and filled them. We drained the transmission and he transfer case. The fluid in the transmission came out a little dirty, but not too bad. The fluid in the transfer case came out sparkly and full of glitter. So either it is some old fashioned fancy gear oil, or I have a problem! We also had gotten a new transmission hump from 63Spud. Mine was rusted pretty bad. His had an odd hole cut in it. We cut a patch panel out of my original one, and have it ready to weld in next weekend. |

Re: '60 GMC 4x4 Long Fenderside
Hey, that is awesome that you and your son got to work on it together! Also, your patch for the trans hump is nicely done. Keep up the progress whenever you can and cherish those times working with your son.....

Re: '60 GMC 4x4 Long Fenderside
The hole in the trans cover looks like it was for a hand lever emergency brake.
Work on your truck & spend time with your son , life is good.

Re: '60 GMC 4x4 Long Fenderside
Ok, I have been slacking on the updates! We haven't gotten a whole lot more done recently, but here is what we have accomplished.
We have found that every seal on the drivetrain is leaking... all over the floor. So much for putting in new fluid. LOL My son (Chevyman10) came up with a cool custom idea for the glovebox. It had an old wooden cabinet knob under the latch. His idea was that since there was already a hole there, why not take one of the extra gray knobs I had, we used a windshield washer one, cut it down to look right, fill it with epoxy, and make the knob match the rest of the dash. Here is the finished result. We also welded in the patch panel on the trans hump. There are still some pinholes I need to fill, and some low areas, but it is much better than the original one! |

Re: '60 GMC 4x4 Long Fenderside
This weekend we were working on the blinker switch. There is a little top hat looking piece of plastic that rides under the metal plate, and against the, squiggly, yes, I think that is the actual technical term for it, piece of metal on the right for the detentes, that is broken. The switch works physically now without it, but I don't have power to it, to see if it actually works.
Also we tore apart the heater controls, to see if we could make one good one using a spare I got from a board member. Turns out that I will still need an additional lever for in side the controls. One of the levers I needed, has a stress crack in it already. Oh well. Anyone have one lying around?? |

Re: '60 GMC 4x4 Long Fenderside
Got a new Master Cylinder for my truck. I'll just go into parts accumulation mode for a bit, while we work on my son's truck. His is further along, and spending his money for parts is fine by me!
