Re: 1969 GMC 3/4 Ton Build Thread
As for the Ram Horns I used one of the POR products I will get you the name. They are supposed to stay that way. So far so good.

Re: 1969 GMC 3/4 Ton Build Thread
This weekend I got the A/C unit started. I installed a Vintage Air unit under the dash with a new Factory style control panel. This was about $1200 but in Kansas it will be worth it. Here are a few of the pics. Sorry for all of the dust but you have to look forward to cleaning sometime and it has been too cold for that.

Re: 1969 GMC 3/4 Ton Build Thread
A little update. I have been trying to put things together. I have the lights wired and the front grill put in plus a few other things. I took the truck in today to have the windshield put in and the reatr window. Tomorrow I will have the brakes checked and then bring it home for door windows and a test drive. I have to take it to the tranny guy one more time to take a look at it so we can make sure everything is okay. I will get some more pics soon with the mirrors and door handles on.
Oh yeh. I am waiting on my dash cluster from Cheyenn Superman too. Hope to be driving it soon.

Re: 1969 GMC 3/4 Ton Build Thread
Just a few updated pictures. I still have the interior to do and the dash cluster. Cheyenne Super-Man has been having some issues with one of the lenses.

Re: 1969 GMC 3/4 Ton Build Thread
Just a little update. I have been busy with work and I have not had much time. I got my A/C ready to charge and fixed an oil leak. I also got my lockup installed for the 700r4. I spoke to a shop in Wichita about the interior that I was looking for and I am waiting for a call back. Now is the fun part of making sure everything is done before a big trip.. Ya know the fine details. I will get a couple of pictures up this week but you can't tell much from the above ones.

Re: 1969 GMC 3/4 Ton Build Thread
Man time flies when you get busy as you all know. I have finalized my 700r4 with a lockup kit and drove it a couple of weeks ago to find out I need to replace the front brake hoses. So I ponied up and bought the entire brake lines in SS and the steel braided lines for the front and one for the rear. I am doing a brake job on the front and I am using P.O.R on all of the parts. This weekend I hope to get the left side completed along with the brake lines and then start in on the right side. It takes some time just because I am using the P.O.R. but in the long run it will be worth it.
I was planning on hacing my interior done by now but I have changed focus. I have decided to do power locks and power windows and I want to get these done prior to installing the interior. So I will get those installed and then start from the doors in. I have also been working with an upholstery shop in Wichita where I am working now to get the original fabric for a 69 GMC Custom Cloth. He has a supplier and he has quoted me a fair price to rebuild the seat etc. I will post some pictures tonight of the backing plate etc with the P.O.R on it. It looks so much better. The kids and I are still working on a good nick name for her. If you any good suggestions that would be great.

Re: 1969 GMC 3/4 Ton Build Thread
Man I can not believe it has been as long as it has since I posted on this build. I am closer than ever. I had some issues with a rebuilt 700r4. I get it back on Monday and I am stoked.

Re: 1969 GMC 3/4 Ton Build Thread
Finally got the tranny and transfer case in and drove it last night and today. I still have a lot of little parts and the interior to do. But as I said before a running vehicle is so much motivation.
I was looking for a GM part number that edelbrock calls for on their AVS setup. 352279 and it is discontinued. I will have to call edelbrock on Monday and find out what they plan to do. This is for the 7004r4 detent cable. Hopefully some more tomorrow.

Re: 1969 GMC 3/4 Ton Build Thread
I drove it again yesterday and how fun. I have actually have started making the to do list to make sure everything is tightened down and adjusted. One of the things is the steering pump pulley. I read the alignment posts but it seems that the pulley is bent.

Re: 1969 GMC 3/4 Ton Build Thread
Been looking for a power steering pump pulley since the one on it is bent or been struck. Front turn signals are needed too. I bought some stock valve covers and plan to change the alternator back to stock location and can do that with the stock covers.

Re: 1969 GMC 3/4 Ton Build Thread
Found a few more items such as visors, seat belts, trasfer case boot and front turn signals. I hope to start on the seat and floor sound proofing soon. Man I am finally getting close.
