I cut off the rivets, attaching the extension to the frame, swapped the extensions around. I added 1 1/4" square tubing. Just have it dry fit now. Will have to weld on some plates for the bumper brackets. Should work out

:metal: found this mark on the extension

Re: 1963 GMC C30 panel truck
 

Really excited, getting close to having the back end together.

Re: 1963 GMC C30 panel truck
 

Fabricating some body mounts. Found some stainless tubing and sheet.

Got the drivers side barn door mounted, just need to do some adjustment.

Re: 1963 GMC C30 panel truck
 

I really like thee look of the 60 - 66 barn door set up!

Had a chance to start shaping the walnut and fitting it to the dash.

Re: 1963 GMC C30 panel truck
 

Really liking it! Trying to figure out the best way to mount the gauges and lexan.

Re: 1963 GMC C30 panel truck
 

that walnut is going to pop with a finish on it. looks good.

Re: 1963 GMC C30 panel truck
 

Very cool build. I'm liking that you're making more of the stuff yourself vs outsourcing. I love seeing people getting their own wheels turning. Subscribed for sure.

Re: 1963 GMC C30 panel truck
 

Thanks! I see such nice work on this forum, it s inspiring

Re: 1963 GMC C30 panel truck
 

More on the gauge cluster....

Re: 1963 GMC C30 panel truck
 

turning out nice....

Re: 1963 GMC C30 panel truck
 

Cool looking gauge cluster :metal:

Re: 1963 GMC C30 panel truck
 

Thank you!

Thanks, looking forward to see your custom work with the gauges in your suburban.

Re: 1963 GMC C30 panel truck
 

the gauge cluster turned out just the way I wanted! I was going to install the tach I have but I'm going to hold off, possibly get 2 gauges in there. I was thinking a tach and a fuel pressure gauge to monitor the output of my low pressure fuel pump.

Re: 1963 GMC C30 panel truck
 

Nice job on the gauges. What are they from?

Re: 1963 GMC C30 panel truck
 

Thanks! That are out of a 1992 Dodge 3/4 ton, went with them because I have them on hand and I will be using the Dodge wiring harness. The harness will just plug right in!

Re: 1963 GMC C30 panel truck
 

Liking that gauge cluster! :metal:

Re: 1963 GMC C30 panel truck
 

Any updates on this?

Re: 1963 GMC C30 panel truck
 

I have been working on wiring up the last tail tight with the LED board. Just on my way back from Vancouver with some parts I picked up at KMS tools. I got the inside front fender support patch panels for both the front fenders, hoping to get to those in the next few weeks. Also got some backing plates for the rocker fix. That is the plan for this next week, got time off and going down tomorrow. I hope to get the rear bumper mounted, both rockers repaired and some sheet metal repairs done. Also scored a used Crome front bumper, hopefully the right year this time hahahah. Updates to come

Re: 1963 GMC C30 panel truck
 

Down island for the week, time to get some tasks knocked out! First things first, I just had to see how the gauge cluster looked in the dash.

Re: 1963 GMC C30 panel truck
 

Next on the list for the dash. I figure I would install the "wait to start" indicator in the ash tray opening.

Re: 1963 GMC C30 panel truck
 

Tackling the rockers this week.

Re: 1963 GMC C30 panel truck
 

Nice work:metal: glad to see you making good progress
