The Snortin' bull

[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.

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.

I like the look!

[namloc]

In the spare part's stash was 58 car shroud ,Modified it to fit the truck. Cut and tacked together for fit. Almost look's original.

[namloc]

Shroud loosely mounted .Ready to finish.

Thank's for the positive comment.Trying to keep to the plan.

Transmission cooler line's in.Fillin' tran's with fluid

[namloc]

Underside view with aired up rear bag's . This no restoration but it is cool to see the original primer seal coat from GMC.

[namloc]

The start of the exhaust from the header's out to the rear.Gonna have to be creative to keep tight high up and routed clear of everything.Left a clear route for it during the build.I think?

[namloc]

Came out to garage to see the Bull had pee'd on the floor. Out with the driveshaft slip yoke and welded up and sealed.

[namloc]

Working on shroud still to get a somewhat original look to it .

[namloc]

Antifreeze (coolant) filled in radiator and engine.Radiator cap needed my 2 bit's.

[namloc]

Set up a battery holddown for the start battery. Swapped out the auxillary optima redtop battery for new one as it was not holding a load anymore.It was a core battery I kept alive over a year and a half.

Cap is cool!

[namloc]

[QUOTE=66ChevyMax;7384209]Cap is cool![/QUOTE Thank's a small detail.The gas cap has it also.It take's a few quarter's for and $ for these ride's.

[namloc]

The previous owner (po) had put the blower fan switch in the glove box. Using a spare knob I moved the switch to the dash .Adapted it to one of the factory hole plugs.The original factory AIR lever is now the cable to open the water control valve.

[namloc]

HAPPY TURKEY day to ya'all . have good holiday.

[namloc]

so the rear axle's will be re-drilled for 5 on 5 pattern. And also new rear brake's complete .

[namloc]

Dropped 1960 gmc front shot. "Just cool I think". Maybe in the eye's of restoration or antiquier people they may feel this ruined. This is preservation.
