Re: My 1970 GMC “Project Splice”
Haha thanks guys! Hopefully more progress coming soon. I have been replacing the garage door opener today. Old one was getting a little scary.

Re: My 1970 GMC “Project Splice”
I finally got around to making a template for my cargo light off of my dad's truck. I know I should have done it before I did the body work but I wasn't able to access my dad's truck until recently and mine has a cap in the way. Now I have to touch up the filler around where I cut as the heat from cutting cause the filler to let loose a bit.

Re: My 1970 GMC “Project Splice”
Looks like an awesome build, just looked over your thread. I’m in warman and almost to the same point on my 68. Where did you get your harness? Rpm?

Re: My 1970 GMC “Project Splice”
Cab is definitely coming along great. Are you planning on doing the inside of the cab, also?

Re: My 1970 GMC “Project Splice”
Well tonight kinda sucked. I feathered the filler back in around my cargo light hole and went to set the rivnuts. For some reason or another, the damn things went offset and crooked. One offset left but at least stayed straight to the panel. The other offset upwards and went crooked as well. I could not even get the screw into it all the way. There was no way the light was going fit properly or sit straight. So that was a bust, spent more time trying to remove them without damaging my filler than I did getting them in.

Re: My 1970 GMC “Project Splice”
Alright so I think I now know what went wrong the other night. I believe that the Rivet nuts I had were made for thicker metal. Thus when I riveted them into place, there was too much crumple zone causing them to move on me. I have gotten a hold of some shorter ones and a nice new tool to set them. Hopefully I will find some time tonight to see how they work. You live and you learn.

Re: My 1970 GMC “Project Splice”
Here is where my theory about the longer vs short comes in. As you can see, the longer ones crimped very poorly compared to the shorter.

Re: My 1970 GMC “Project Splice”
I borrowed my Dad's cargo light tonight to do a test fit. Couldn't have turned out any better!

Re: My 1970 GMC “Project Splice”
I got some more filler done on the drivers cab corner today. I'm getting so close to primer, I can almost taste it.

Re: My 1970 GMC “Project Splice”
You just keep plugging away. I've been really lax because it's been in the teens here and my garage has been in the 20s. I don't have the ambition to go out and heat it up. lol
