Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
well got the interior wiring harness layout finished today and quite happy with it. The new fuel injection wiring will be able to plug directly into the factory harness to provide power tach and speedo now

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
yeah once the cab is in the body shop and going to concentrate on the frame finishings. I have a set of 67-72 dual master cylinder brake lines to put into place from a long bed series and get them straightened away plus an adjustable prop valve and do the lines on the rear axle for the new disc brakes

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
I might have one if my 65 is close enough to work. I'm not going to use that bed (wrecked passenger side), besides he likes the long stepper. If you want to pull it yourself, you can have it. Be going to Decater meet this weekend, but call 8172049235. Hell if you want the whole bed, take it, it'll get me closer to getting his truck done. Now thats a deal. By the way, yours is still cool!

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
This next set of pictures is the engine harness that I am nearing completion on I have to add 4 more wires into the feul injection section of this harness and it will be completed and ready for the euless speed shop. I talked to Arvil at XHP Solutions there in euless he can build a harness for my engine for about 750$ with tap shift included and a tow haul button as well

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
Welp got the gauge wiring completed and the new connector in place now. Going to take a day or two and look at some other things to tear into. Will be working on the bed some more on friday evening getting the old rotted plywood out of the floor area and getting it ready to lift off the truck
![]() I included some pics of the gauge harness connector. I left the speedo programming wire and ground seperate out of the harness since they will be quick disconnects in line on them ![]() ![]() Sean

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
naah they are almost the same as the 700r4 same number of stops actually. The 700 lever fit that trans perfectly without any problems just had to space it to clear the casing. Will have some more pics up next saturday when I get the 2wd tail shaft housing in hand and in place thinking I may have to trim the ribs on it but will know more when I have the part in my hand and get it in place.

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
Ok the big week is coming soon another 40 hours of wiring work in the future. I orde3red direct from GM parts direct a 2009 cadillac l92/l9h harness for my truck. Once I get it in hand I will be taking pictures as I do the conversion to standalone and put them on here and my website. I also orders the fuseblock and relay modules for this engine as well so should have them soon also.

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
ok more progress got the oil pressure sensor in place and the water temp sensor done as well. pictures to follow
![]() Waiting on gm parts direct for my harness at this time, will be picking up the 6l80 tailshaft saturday after my gear head meeting with pickups n panels. Sean the oil pressure gauge uses a 1/8 inch 27 thread pipe tap to get it into place. worked out beautifully. will be reassembling it and checking for leaks this weekend. I have oil splashed on that side of the cylinder block with no clear spot of origin so will be checking things there carefully.

here is the water temp sensor. it takes the same tap as the oil pressure on the gauge package I bought from TPI gauges.

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
yeah give me a shout I am usually off on saturdays so it would be a good time to catch me. I am taking the brake rotors back to the machinist so he can machine the sapcer bushing a bit more to get them where they slided on the studs better there is not enough play in them atm to make up for heat expansion during braking so we are going to fix that.
