Re: Project G-TR, Gearbox Garage Shop Truck
I'm getting extremely excited about this build. This was a big step that I was dreading because I knew it would be tedious putting it in without touching the paint.

Re: Project G-TR, Gearbox Garage Shop Truck
Are you're refering to the window gaskets with the trim groove? Yes, I planned on posting them soon along with some other items. The front is the only one that has been opened, still in great shape. Both Precision brand. I would take $50 shipped for the 2 gaskets ('71-'72 shallow groove) if you would like to have them. I have the trim also, but I wouldn't recommend using it, at least the front. It didn't follow the rounded contour at the top about 6" in from each side. The rear window trim may be good on aftermarket stuff because of the window being flat. If you're interested, send me a PM and we can arrange shipping/payment.

Re: Project G-TR, Gearbox Garage Shop Truck
Nothing real exciting going on with the build right now. Routing A/C and Heater Hoses and more wiring. As of now we're shooting for a May 1st completion date. Should give us plenty of time to work everything in before the Power Tour.

Should be a good time... weather permitting. Not sure if the first time I get it out I would want it to be in the rain. But it's only 10 minutes from my house. Hope to see you there! |

Re: Project G-TR, Gearbox Garage Shop Truck
Thanks for the compliments. It's been a 9 year labor of love dedicated to my Mother who passed away in 1997 from Cancer. Our last family vacation together was to Bettendorf, Iowa to go on a Mississippi River Casino Boat and then up to Field of Dreams in Dyersville. Coincidently, the Hot Rod Power Tour is running right through there this year on the last leg to Wisconsin Dells. We'll be making some stops and taking in some memories for sure.

Re: Project G-TR, Gearbox Garage Shop Truck
Just realized that it's been a while since I posted any updates. Finished wrapping the wiring and installing the side markers. Moving on to the trans cooler and lines now.

Re: Project G-TR, Gearbox Garage Shop Truck
Received the Dynamic Hot Rods radiator cover yesterday. Mocked it up and it fit very well. Only need to do some minor trimming on the ends and it matched up great with the Be Cool radiator. I'll be sending this out with a few other parts to get black texture powder coating this week and then get the grill and front bumper mounted.

Re: Project G-TR, Gearbox Garage Shop Truck
Finally had a chance to pick up the bed from the painter. Should be getting it set in place soon. The cross sills will be getting prepped and sent to powder coat some time this week.

Re: Project G-TR, Gearbox Garage Shop Truck
Got the hood back on last night and started lining things up to get the bed on. A/C hoses are cut, crimped, and ready to install. Mounted the Terminator EFI computer in the glove box. Picked up some brackets from powder coat and mounted the Trans cooler. We'll be back at it tonight. Stay tuned...

Re: Project G-TR, Gearbox Garage Shop Truck
Put the grille on last night, it really changed the look of the truck and brightened it up. I won't be back on it until Saturday. I'll be running down to Goshen/Elkhart, IN area to get a new tinted back glass cut and then working on the interior in the afternoon...

Re: Project G-TR, Gearbox Garage Shop Truck
Thanks! Yes, it's getting down to the wire. The DTS driveshaft should be in today or tomorrow and we're shooting for this weekend to get the bed on. A few more wiring connections to make under the dash and should be ready to do a final test on all circuits and fire it up.
