Re: 1963 GMC C30 panel truck
Fender looks good Anthony, I know how lots of rust repair can get very frustrating, that's why I've taken a bit of a break from it myself. Keep up the good work

Re: 1963 GMC C30 panel truck
just went thru yoor thread; looks good
noticed your chrome booster for the brakes. what are you going to use for vacuum with the Cummins? that was a bit of work making all those door hinge bushings and I hate to tell you after the fact but may save someone else the work. you can buy them at the local auto parts jobber; Lordco. you must have one up there somewhere ron |

Thanks! I have a vacuum line that comes off of the power steering pump, the old booster has he same set up so just going to transfer the lines. Yeah the hinges were probably excessive but the front door hinges were more practice for the barn door hinges. I kept getting better at making them hahaha. Saving a bit of money and getting to play with the lathe. I have another set of hinges I plan to do up really nice with full length brass bushings on both sides |

I ran a GM hydro-boost set-up when I had my Detroit in my 64 Captfab makes a nice little adaptor to mount them and will give you more brake than that car booster will for your 1 ton ron |

Re: 1963 GMC C30 panel truck
Thanks! Lots still to do, want to drive it real bad hahaha
Thanks Johnny! I agree, kinda what I was going for. Mosley want it to be good for hunting and camping. O yeah, thanks Nik. Should be on the road soon. Have a bit of a dead line, September 10th, let's see if i make it! Bit more progress Pulled the rear axle out of the Dodge, took it down to my bro I laws work, and got her sandblasted and tacked the perches in the approximate location. Frame width difference, 34" wide on the panel and 38" on the dodge. All the rear suspension has been refurbished and new bushings installed. Mangled a front hanger though, bit of a hic-up. O well she can be fixed hahaha |

Managed to get some work in hahaha, started to tack the fuel tank together. Goals: lots of fuel and make it fit!, ingredients: aluminum and lots of time. Should be pretty cool, got some time on the tig. Tough stuff, thanks Aaron for the pointers eh! |

Re: 1963 GMC C30 panel truck
Now on to there rear end,
I got the frame hangers, leaf springs, axle and shocks with cross member installed. Got my pinion angles figured and welder her up. The Arctec 223 did a nice job on the perches! And horse shoes! The rear drive shaft just bolted right up! Last edited by AJCK87; 08-17-2016 at 07:26 PM. |

Re: 1963 GMC C30 panel truck
Started some work on the drivers side door bottom. I was hoping to save this work for later but the door doesn't fit in the jam since I did the rocker. O well. Fabing up a new bottom and moving the whole thing up a 1/2". Patched up the bottom corners on the door skin also. Don't think I'm going to have the truck on the road for September 10th. Dang! Well now I can make sure it's really good to go be for I get her rolling. I definetly want her on the road for next summer!

Re: 1963 GMC C30 panel truck
Nice work Anthony, good to see you making more progress. Unfortunately I've been working over 40 hrs a week for the past while and haven't gotten much done but I was able to call your mom and we made plans for her to get the gmc emblems in the first couple days of September as I am going away on a fishing trip this Saturday and won't be back until the 30th. I'll talk to you sometime again in the next while, keep up the good work

Came down island for the weekend. Not to much time for the truck this trip. Jake and I hammered out the wiring for the tail lights and licence plate last night. I'm really digging the LEDs, I'm glad I went with them. |

Re: 1963 GMC C30 panel truck
Realized I had' that got any good rear stance pics up yet since I got the rear end in! Would have liked to pull it all the way out of the shop, but there is a tonne of junk in the drive way hahaha. Man this thing is really heavy now, I can hardly move it around in neutral on the shop floor
