Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
Well its been awhile things in a few spots have changed. had to go back over a few projects till I was completely happy with them. Also things like carpet finally bit the bullet and had a shop do it due to the frustrations at the time. interior is now almost 90% there now. Currently working on getting a backup camera in place and wired in since I had a spare one laying around from another truck project that came into my life lol. but to start off with updates. Engine and transmission are working great.... Buttttttt the fancy racing trans cooler does not like 165 PSI from the allison pump. So that will be on the soon to fix list after I finish the interior installation. got a couple more things to finish there.
Sean enjoy the pictures ![]()

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
and carpet pictures as I said have had problems with every acc carpet I have bought so decided to take it to a shop in Longview texas and for 700$ they gave me an awesome carpet job. they went all the way up the firewall and in addition did the transmission high hump separate. That way if needed I can pull it to get to sensors on the allison transmission alot easier lol

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
also they cheap ebay headlights with additional driving light work very nicely.. grill is done and mounted on the truck. just need to get the head light bezels powder coated and installed. I love how the silverado grill emblems turned out....... which means if I get a set of the back lit ones I can plug them in on the truck lol... maybe more to come on that one still debating it lol

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
Well been a busy critter last couple of months. Interior panels about finish just need a tweak or two. Was having a hard time finding a spot to mount the trailer brake controller so I got a lil fancy and just made a mount plate for where the old radio was located at. Turned out nice. The face panel for the console I need to redo the mounting brackets and will get to that here soon. oh don't that switch hanging out I will get to fixing that eventually. The switch does not work if fully seated in the housing grrrrr... flopping loose it works just fine lol. I can now say the electric spare tire winch is in full working capacity finally

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
And the most recent issue I have been tackling is the transmission cooler leaking grrrr. Laminova racing coolers do not like the Allison transmission pump pressure at all. Kept finding fresh transmission fluid leaking to the bottom of the bumper. Thought it was an AN fitting on the extra cooler but nope end of the racing cooler blew its seals. So contacted PRC radiator company and he built me this one with a -10 fitting oil cooler lifetime warranty and price was very reasonable. So currently working on getting the core support all back in and redoing a few trans lines as well.
Happy getting closer to semi street legal driving :P. I am figuring once the nose and grill is back in place get my antique registration done and take him for a drive in the local area. I am so wanting to test out the manual shift circuit on the allison 6 speed. I am hoping I built the circuit right. Sean

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
Have not posted in awhile so thought to throw some updates. Truck is running and driving just have a few computer codes to work out.. Glass is done for the windshield and rear window. The precision rear window seals from southwest classics is too thick for my original rear window so the glass shop cut a fresh piece of laminate for him turned out really nicely

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
And the other update the grill is finally all done and complete on the truck and I am very happy with how it came out. The bezels I had a local powder coater work his magic on and they look really nice in the chrome grill. Middle emblems ttuned out really good as well. found it at a junkyard a few years ago lol

Wow, I was looking at an old thread for wiper arms and wiper motors. I had for gotten all about you being from Gladewater. Went and realized I was not following your build. I have some reading to do to get caught up!
Do you ever make it to Kilgore's monthly cruize?
