Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I pulled a 305 v8 from my 55 chevy parts truck and made the decision to rebuild it as a hi perf engine w/700 r4, and put it in my 62. Now I need to figure out if I should sell the 305 v6 w/muncie 3 spd from my gmc. Any ideas on how much it's worth? runs good but leaks a little from the pan & tranny is good. Or if anyone local is interested pm me

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Meshed the caprice and 64 core support together. Mounted the radiator, AC condenser and the oil and trans cooler. Hung the sheet metal on it to see what was rubbing and/or in a bind. So far so good.. Everything is tacked in place. Now, time to take it all apart and start boxing the frame back in and making it more permanent..

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
My LS swap started with that, then found a cracked head, figured the LS was the way to go.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Took a couple days vacation to make a long weekend to clean up the shop from the '69 rebuild and getting that "Burb back in to work on front suspension. Also going to mock up console/shifter idea and start to lay out some of the wiring. I have 3 harness to merge,- the EFI harness, the chassis harnes and the Phantom Key harness. Thank God they are all Painless Wiring parts. will post some pics later of some of the fab that is going on. Have a great weekend everyone!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Finished the installation of a van tilt in my 64. I'm lazy and took the easy way out. I drilled a 3/8" hole in the center of dash where the column mounts, dropped in a 3/8" - 24 X 3/4" bolt backed it up with a 3/8" - 24 jamb nut which happens to be 1/4" thick, I then cut a piece of 1/4" rubber to install between the column and the dash. I pushed the column as close to the dash as I could and drilled a 3/8" locating hole in the top of my column to fit my centering bolt. Using the factory column mount holds plenty of pressure to keep the steering column tight in the truck.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Added 4 Way Flashers to my 64. Since I installed a 70's Van Tilt and the column had the provision for Emergency Flashers I wanted to make them work. I cut the flasher connector out of a 72 Nova in the wrecking yard. One side of the connector gets power from a constant HOT off the fuse block. The other lead runs to the "K" terminal (a brown wire) on the factory GM column connector. I read that you should use a 15 Amp fuse so I ran #14 wire. For my constant HOT I picked it off the Spot Light terminal of my fuse block and poped in a 15 Amp fuse. You don't have a "Spot Light" terminal on your fuse box? No problem, neither did I. In the wrecking yard locate a 60-66 truck fuse block, remove the Heater/B.U. Lamp fuse, take out the 1/4" head screw holding the fuse block in place and the screw in the Spot Light fuse location. Remove the fuses from the Brake LP & BU LP locations. From the back side of the fuse block - using a small flat blade screw driver release the tangs that hold the fuse clip in place and push out the front of the fuse block. The fuse clip I show in the middle of the first 2 pictures is the wrong clip it's for reference only. That clip is form the Panel LTS fuse and is the wrong one. You must use the clip from either the Brake LP or BU LPS fuse.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I bought the column off eBay so I'm not 100% sure what year it is but I think the seller said it was a from a 71 van. I was the only bidder at $99.00 plus $19 shipping. I don't think I did too bad on the price of the column.
