Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
The cruise is usually the last Saturday of the month in downtown Kilgore. On Facebook, a group called Lone Star Lug Nuts - N East Texas usually has it posted...
I did find the thread I was looking for.

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
Well took him for the "Gremlin" run friday and ooohhhh boy did he tell me he was not happy. got a rear brake issue to figure out plus after parking the gear shifter has locked itself in place and cannot get it moved out of park. it is definitely I am hoping a cable issue.. I disconnected the cable at the trans lever and the trans lever shifts just fine.. have to fix gear shifter then on to brakes... got him back into my shop and the rotors and pads were smoking so more to come on that one.... I am still very happy with the custom rear disc brakes but the lil details are finally getting worked out. 2008 silverado 2500 rear discs with drum parking brakes are getting there and on my near original dana 60 axle
![]() couple you tube links since I honestly cannot remember how to link them lol ![]() Sean https://youtu.be/TaIiA3naQh8 https://youtu.be/Z7Lql451YVI https://youtu.be/0rIpQdnItyI

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
ok working on fixing a few gremlins. Shifter cable was not far enough away from the headers so melted the inside so it would not shift. Also fixing the brake lines on the master cylinder. I installed them backwards lol so having some issues there but more to come on the brake system. Looking at my console setup was not happy with how it all fit together.. So went on the hunt for an allison transmission shifter that has bump shift capability... Well apparently Kilduff is now doing a setup for them.... ok ok ok I am rambling a bit so here are some pictures

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
next up brakes lines are fixed now just need to finish bleeding the brakes. Once that is done have apparently a caliper spacing issue to solve on the rear end to tackle once this is all through.

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
all the years of futzing with this futzing with that paid off today. Drove him to his first car show. He got lots of compliments and even better a follower lol. A young 16 year old building a 74 chevy c10 asked if he could talk to me when he is working on the different parts of his truck. We traded number will be proud to help him out after all the crap I have messed up and learned from maybe I can help him out lol
![]() ended up having to replace all the transmission to radiator lines on my truck no matter what I did they kept leaking. so bought a complete new set already built and so far thank heavens no more red drips from the front end. tho my truck being an ass peed some radiator fluid after all this to make a point lol :P Sean couple interesting critters at this show. a farmer and his tractor car, a 90's topkick with a dodge bed lol. and I am still trying to wrap my mind around some built a honda accord hatchback station wagon???!!!???

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
more pics of the build. I used Tap Plastics for the panels they offer a cutting service so you can get the basic shapes and then trim it in.

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
I have not posted for awhile due to work and everything else in life lol. but making progress.. Truck is running like a champ and OMG OMG the manual shift mode on the allie 6 speed is suwwweeeeetttt!!! I have been working on getting the ac hooked up and working and boy there have been a few headaches but that's ok. finally after trial error and a few bits of mental cussing its in the truck now to hook up the rest of the system. I tried to mount the drier where old air said to and ran into grill mounting issues. then got that solved and the way the ac lines were mounted I could not mount the core support covers lol. Well that's all fixed luckily there is a local ac supply shop to help out on this problem lol. here's some pics aint pretty but will work.

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
Happily I can report the truck made the run to ddallas and back without any issues other then noisy exhaust system. planning to get that fixed in the next few weeks. Currently gathering some materials and a tool box to make a gas tank cover for the bed. Also bought a beautiful set of reproduction custom hood emblems. Pictures to follow.

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
ok back to an older project I started but never had the time to finish. Well he's close to being done as he can be so came back to the glovebox build. Had to completely go back and redesign it to clear the vent hoses from the old air products ac system...... still have not got that finished yet
![]() so quite a bit of change from the first attempts but nice 5 inches deep on the passenger side so happy with how it's coming along. Talking to a hotrod shop that does 3d printing to take it and install in their GMC truck for tweaking the design ![]() Sean

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
Whoa, this has been quite the saga. I wondered how you got from a 6.0 LS to the 8.1 but it made sense after reading all the way through. Seeing the various console ideas you tried out in this truck has me thinking of ideas for my '84. I will def be checking out Tap plastics for that.

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
I can imagine especially with all the sudden changes last min going from 6.0 then to Dmax it looked like at one point, back to 6.0 now back to the 8.1. Glad to see it is finally running under its own power as an 8.1. Any updates on the burb you bought along the way?
