Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
That's cool about the cowl panel. I am anxious to hear how it fits with the wiper studs in place.

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
Captain will be taking the wiper transmission arms and studs over on my next day off to fit them in place to check clearance on them. Hopefully they fit fine will be finnaly be nice to have at least one after market panel that doesn't needs multiple fixes lol

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
well while waiting on body shop (the cab is finally in for primer and painting.... hallelujah!!!!!) got to looking at my bump shifter idea and scrapped it. Well come to find out someone has designed one for the corvette 6l80e transmissions at RA designs in Washington state using a winters art carr transmission shifter setup. I got the switch kit to mount in the shifter in just waiting on the winters shifter specific for the Allison 1000 transmission to come in but really nice quality on the bump shifter switches and indicator plate. here are a few pics... the circuit board I had made for my particular setup since the Allison uses its own resistor range setup for the trucks (truck 6l80e/6l90e use the same resistor ranges). It has taken multiple resistors tries to get it within .01 k ohms of the GM specs but I finally got it. the truck tap shifter ranges are: 1.87 k ohm upshift, 2.97 k ohm down shift (1.87 + 2.10 k ohm) and total resistance across the circuit is 6.84 k ohm (1.87 + 2.10 +2.87 k ohm resistors in series) so tickled to see this thing work like I know it will. considering the mountainous area I am in it will be a big boon having this moving back to texas lol. next project will be after shifter arrives to integrate it into the existing terrain console and make it look good. hopefully by that time my garage heaters is fixed and 90% of the body parts are curing in the garage at a nice balmy 85 degrees

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
Getting closer to cab and front clip being painted. Paint guy got in trouble with the local city ordnances so it got delayed a bit :/ but all is well have a paint booth rented second weekend of march and hopefully the last issues to be overcome. We are planning to take the rolling frame down and load the cab on there at the booth and get that over with and brought back home for further work on the interior etc. Got some more accomplished on the rims picked up a set of hub caps recently along with a set of rims that are in better shape will have pics of the extra rims soon. They don't have any tires on them so I can take them down for a polishing then load some tires on them

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
Getting closer and closer to having the cab reinstalled on the frame just trying to be patient with my bodywork guy he is slow as S*** but he is doing it right so baring with him.. Praying it happens next weekend since I have a paint booth rented for him :/ . In other news got the trans cooler lines and thermostat mostly installed and ready to go. Just have to pick up a cooling fan for that setup here soon and get it onto the cooler setup. Also need to look at a transmission thermostat for in the cab. Beginning to wonder if I am gonna have anywhere to mount the PIA due to how much junk I have planned to stuff into or near the dash at this time lol. Oh well cross that bridge when I get there.. nicely figuring things out myself cost me for the whole setup the same as going with just the aftermarket hose kits very pleased with that bit of savings lol

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
Another thing I got started on was working on the Silverado driver side bracket clearancing it from the coolant crossover piper from the Kodiak truck. So far coming along well it is clearing the pipe quite well. Just have to get the power steering pump and pulley installed and do another mockup and see how well I am doing.
Should be further along in the next week or so probably tackle installing the pump to the bracket tomorrow and go from there.. Sean

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
Well about time he finally got the primering done and started painting the truck. Still a ways to go he had a run in the clear so he is going to have to take it back down again. Also bed is going to take awhile longer since all the panels were beyond saving :/ so there goes a while saving for the longbed fleetside bed sides, front bed panel, and radiator cowl panel. Oh well murphy again nothing new there. Also got all the bed base rails done in raptor liner along with a few other parts

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
Still have a ways to go on the body but it is getting there. Cab is home getting ready for a last few patches and then interior floor and firewall cab bottom are getting raptor lined dark blue. Once that is cured it can go back on the frame and I can get it cut and buff before reassembly. The rest is going to be a few months longer but nothing worrisome or problematic just taking time lol. I got a delay wiper system ordered from Tanson enterprises and am waiting for that to come in here this week. Also went and ordered the dapper lighting 575 kit.
Also got the last set of crimpers I will ever need rotflmao Delphi 15370042 800 series crimpers that will do 8 gauge wire for my fuse box and amplifier connections. While waiting on my body guy I went back and started work on the hydroboost spacer plate the template is made just need to get a cnc plasma cutter to cut one out and it will be done and ready to go. Sean

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
Well body shop is slower than dog drool but he's getting it there cab is painted but unfortunately not quite finished. He had a run in several spots of the clear so he will be roping off an area in my garage to fix that issue as well as getting the undercoating sprayed onto the floor and firewall of the cab. the blue turned out sweet and pretty very very happy with it

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
Also received my Newport wipers kit in and like it very much just have to aquire the switch assembly for the delay setup to go with it, Did some digging on this critter and apparently the motors he is using are from Thomas bus's. Also I saw Detroit speed has released a nice kit as well but is twice the price of the Newport ones :/ I did of course have to tinker with the connector assembly on it for some Delphi improvements with a locking connector. Spade terminals just offend me something fierce lol.
Enjoy Sean

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
And lastly for the moment started putting shocks on the frame and blasted murphy decided to poke his nose in again. On the rear shock mounts that rivet in the frame apparently they ran out of the 3/4 ton shock brackets at the factory the day my truck frame was built :/ so on the passenger side I have a 9/16th sized shock post and the driver side is a 5/8 shock post??!!??? I m ean really /sigh
lol so my friendly machinist Dirk is going to make a sleeve for it to solve the problem. Sean

Are you sure that the one on the drivers side doesn't just have a sleeve from a shock stuck on it?

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
That's odd to have 2 different size shock studs..........something I would expect to see on a Ford

Yeah i know baffled the crap out on me bit found out checking shocks at the parts store 1/2 ton used 9/16th mounts and 3/4 -1 ton used 5/8 *chuckles* Probably the frame assembly group grabbed two different ones by accident would be my guess. My machinist friend is making a sleeve to fix the problem should have it week after next. Sean

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
Well sleeve is in place and all the shocks are mounted now. Tuesday Body shop guy is coming by to get the undercoating on the floor and firewall of the truck. Hopefully mid to end of june the cab will back in place and ready for wiring and other parts to go in. Also while out in the garage I went back and reworked the trailer hitch brake harness just wasn't happy with how it looked and sat on the frame. No it looks much smoother and I happier for it.
