The Snortin' bull

[namloc]

Diggin in part's boxe's I had an old school fill neck. From a 30"s Studebaker. For now it'll work.Set in the wood in the bed to mock up fill neck.

[namloc]

Through out this project rust is in the way as it for most of us.This stuff is the fashnizz. Aerokroil none better work's like a champ.

[namloc]

Even though this truck will look like a road side left over little detail's like ugly windshield squirter's bugged me..Found some original style on a parting out truck in the paper.The little round head one's are now on the hood.

[namloc]

Turn signal lever I modded. This might mess with some folk's . Back in the fiftie's rodder's would flip the shifter to left of the column.

[namloc]

A license frame from the sixtie's in Seattle . The gmc in red matched the lettering on the tailgate of the truck.

[namloc]

The red positive battery cable stood out.Used some old school asphalt loom to blend it in under the hood.The loom is cool stuff.Using it in other area's also.

Got my seat belt's and anchor plate's from Juliano's today. Started to install. There will be belt's also for a center passenger.Sorry about the grainy pic's.

Thanks Chizzler,I thought the same.not to plain not to fancy.

These seat belt anchor plate's from Juliano's are a must.I have seen a lot of pulled thru washer's people have used on the floor of vehicle's..

[namloc]

Belt's are in.

1960 GMC dash from the backside.It is need of some help .Had to make a jumper for 12 volt as the Circuit board has deteriated over time. Really only need it for backlighting the speedo.

[namloc]

After some clever rewiring and mating to American Autowire harness and the correct style bulb sockets (pc) style we have lighting for the gauges and hi beam indicator also working. Gas guage also. Mounted actual lh and rh signal lamps in dash. Installed an under dash courtesy light with a switch on the passanger side.

[namloc]

So no radio in truck and in today's world we use cell phone's and Ipod's.The original cig. lighter is wired for and ready for use.

[namloc]

I don't know why the past owners put all the hole's in the dash? I put misc. lamp's and period matching knob's in them though 2 of them became actual turn signal indicator's for left and right not just a lit dash cluster lamp.

[namloc]

Put in the bench seat back rest.

[namloc]

Bed wood. A basic farm pack of mis match . Stained today and came put fairly well. This past summer i let the wood gray out a bit to look aged.

[namloc]

Just had to set the bed wood down in to see the color.
