Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
well have gotten quite a bit done today engine and transmission are back in the frame, started the Allison wire routing, and got 3 bump shift/tap shifter circuit boards finished. Two of the boards are going to some guys that are interested in making paddle shifters for the 8.1 6 speed trucks. Should have the bump shifter handle and aluminum to make the brackets from in next week and can start fabbing that up..... Will be working on the Allison wiring connections tonight after dinner.

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
Well went digging through my connector stashes and found a rear seal for the Allison connector plug. I got 90 percent of the Allison harness completed. Just have left is to get the firewall plug in place and split loom if and it will be completed. I built it separate from the engine harness so if I ever have to work on it it will only require unplugging from the main PCM and a few other connector and will drop out

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
Well got a couple of surprises in today. The shifter people I got the bump shifter to build the assembly sent me another one??!!?? Also the Dutchman axles arrived for the dana 60 and omg they are a quality piece of work. 4340 alloy steel pretty strong setups. The axle flanges are also 1/2 inch thick instead of the dana stock 3/8 flange. they are all bolted in and started putting in gear oil lol.... Murphy struck again not enough oil due to the mag hytec cover adding extra capacity will have to finish it off Friday then get everything lubed and ready. dumped in 4 quarts with room to fill. Then the lovely axle tilting to get the bearings in the hubs lubed and should be set all that is left now is the breather tube assembly and be nice n finished up. Allison harness is totally done so I mounted the ecm and bracket to the engine and will be working on that wiring here quite soon. And last but not least bump shifter is coming along quite well finally found a good set of springs to bring the slap shifter back to a perfect neutral position and got the switches all mounted up.
Sean

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
Also tonight started laying out the 8100 harness to get it cut down and ready to go. Will be working on it more tomorrow night after I download another set of wiring diagrams for it. Will have more pictures as it progresses.

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
Well on my last day off got the front brake line in place and finally bent to shape. Today I spent all of the day getting the engine harness closer to being finished. All I have left for it is to put the split loom on and it will be ready. Body shop guy is getting ready to spray some paint and get the cab done first then the rest of the body comes after. Trudging along but making progress one step at a time.

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
Been very busy last week or so on my days off lol. Torque converter rebuilt and back in the trans, bolted trans and Engine into the frame just need to a finish a few lil things and that will be completely done. Still have to put the prothane th400 mount in place and get it all tightened down. Engine harness sif finished and split loomed. Today I got the fuel injection fuse box completed and ready to go. Also intake is back on and bolted in place with ARP bolts holding it down. In addition I didn't quite like how the oil pressure was sticking out from the side of the block so I got an elbow adapter from earls and got it set up nice and snug against the block

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
I just found your build. You sure don't see many 8.1 swaps. Nice job with all that wiring.

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
been busy the last week getting the trans cross member assembled, front to rear chassis harness done and the cooler fittings for the Allison in place. I also picked up a complete programming harness setup from EFI connection to get my computers access and reset for stand alone use. Had to do a lil bit of electrical massaging to their setup to make it compatible with my ecm and tcm setups.

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
While waiting on a few things to come through and around start finalizing the interior harness and making a few minor changes here and there. Got my remote mount trailer brake controller setup and wired in, rear deck speaker wires are in, and changed the gauge cluster connectors so they take up less under dash space.
Body guy will be finished with all the metal work in another week or so and start painting the cab so ready to have it home and start the interior stuff installing lol. Still have to work on the ac ducts and a vents but need to cab here to maek that happen along with the ABS glove box idea I am working on. Sean

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
Last week got the class 5 trailer hitch in and somewhat mocked up on the frame. My body shop guy is going to do a lil welding to it and I am going to have to get some 1/4 inch plate steel to make it fit the frame properly but after trying 4 different salvage yard hitches this is the closest yet to fitting :/

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
Last but not least finally got a set of headers that fit really well and quite happy with them have to do a few minor mods to some things here and there but fit awesome in the frame. I tried a nice set of chevelle headers but they ran to close to the trans cooler lines for my comfort. Took em back to the shop I got them from and order the hedmann elite big block truck headers and they are definitely a good fit for the 8.1 in the 63-87 frame setups. I will have to move the Knock sensor on the driver side but luckily Dirty Larry already went through that so its basically a run to the auto parts store for the one that fits in a different spot in the block. Other thing I am gonna need to do is build a heat shield for the shifter cable its just far enough away but I will feel more comfortable with some shielding around it lol. Also got water pump and starter in last week but have yet to get around to messing with them. Will be throwing the water pump on my pain table and getting to that pretty quickly.

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
Well got a few more electrical things in and done frame wiring harness is just about completely done minus having the cab and bed in place to make the final connections. Landed some nice usb chargers to install somewhere in the cab. Waiting on a power switch assembly and mounting pods to come in to see if this idea will work. Gauge cluster got a few slight revisions to the connector setup in last few days. The new connectors take up a lot less space now

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
Also got the transmission cooler mounted to the frame today since I don't have enough space behind the grill for it. mounting brackets turned out quite nice for it just some simple aluminum strap from the local hardware store worked great! may possible throw a power steering cooler down there as well not quite sure yet still thinking about it!

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
got the heater pipes in and the transmission thermostat in a couple of days ago. Thermostat is mounted just waiting on fittings and clamps to come in at this time to get that all finished up.
Mounted the thermostat where it will get plenty of airflow along with the cooler assembly. Going for completely separate systems since the new radiator has no transmission cooler capabilities being a triple crossflow. Also picked up a set of stainless steel flex pipe for the cooler lines themselves and use rubber hoses for the unions between the sections ![]() Sean

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
And in addition to everything else going on my usb console chargers are finally mounted took forever to get the switch kit from the electric window conversion place. but they are done and turned out very nicely. the switch pods needed a dremel work to get the usb pods to fit but quite happy. All that is left now is getting another 67-87 brake switch plug and I can finish the wiring to them and the power tire hoist switch.
