Re: Yet another GMC build
Got a killer electric fan for $20. I posted all the info under "Yet another cheap electric fan" on the regular board. Very happy about the fit and the price!

Re: Yet another GMC build
I wanted to do a C4 ifs in my 55 panel truck. How much trouble was it to do? Did it require any frame mods? Everyone I talked to about it says you have to up size the rims 15" will not fit!!! Give me all the info you can "Please" before I waste\spend the money. Thanks in advance.

Re: Yet another GMC build
Been a busy few months with just a little extra time...worked on gaps on the doors and fenders and trying to get a new bed floor in. This bed is off an 89-96 Dakota. The Dakota bed is 78 3/8 long and I need 77 3/8, I just cut the extra inch off the front end. That put the center of the wheel well around 37", exactly where it needs to be on a TF truck. The measurements for the TF I came up with are 77 3/8 long by 50 1/8 wide. Looks like I'll be cutting the third rail back where it conflicts with my underbed tank, and reusing one of the stock rails.

Re: Yet another GMC build
Didn't realize I hadn't posted in 4 months! The bed floor is pretty well done. I'm working out a parking brake system using Isuzu Trooper cables and a 1965 porsche 911 handle. I seem to be switching from bucket seats to a bench seat from a 77' Malibu because it looks better in the cab. I've built door and fender stands and I'm pushing like crazy to get the cab half ready enough to put paint on. (garage is so small I'll have to paint the bed separate) Oh yeah, and I finally heard my 5.3l run! It sounds really good open manifolds but my neighbors didn't really appreciate that at 9:30 at night. I own 3 cameras and can't for the life of me find one of them. At least there has been progress...

Re: Yet another GMC build
looks good! I am thinking about the same bed floor, how did you attach it to the cross pieces? Did you need spacers? Any pictures would be great.

Re: Yet another GMC build
I reused one of the original cross braces. I had to relocate one of the dakota braces to clear my side fill gas tank neck. I reused the rear brace as well and grafted it into the roll pan/ bed/ floor. Two mounting points are holes drilled in the frame rails and two of them are mounted with brackets I made and welded to the outside of the frame. Sounds kooky but it worked.

Re: Yet another GMC build
My plan for a seat for now. Got a Malibu seat for free and set it in the cab and it looked 20 times better than the buckets. Used seat brackets off an astro van (FREE) and they bolted up with NO MODIFICATION. While removing the astro seat, noticed a slide out hidden glovebox underneath. Using that as well (also free, have to thank my dad here, all my best stuff comes from his junk piles!)
The state requires a park brake so mine will be partially hidden under the seat. Porsche handle with isuzu and corvette cables fit the first time with no cutting. Don't know how that happened. Trying to get ready for a full primer / primer sealer spray so I'm hanging panels and wishing for a larger garage. Also working on a pod under the dash to mount A/C controls and maybe a power outlet for the oh so important phone charging.
