Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D

also a friend brought up a concern with running the power cables through aluminum fixtures attached to metal lol.... So went digging around and found a guy that makes delrin line clamps to fix the problem. 4 clamps 80 bucks and custom milled to clamp the cables without damaging them

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D

And also got the wiper linkage and arms done and back in the truck I apparently lost one of the pieces at some point but luckily a friend had a parts truck with what I needed in his yard.

Sean

next post is the Dynacorn wiper cowl and it is rough painted but now with the wiper linkage in place the panel is out of kilter and not lining up well with the body lines kinda frustrating you pay 200 dollars for what you think is a quality parts then it goes to crap :/

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D

Well ordered all the parts for the bed tool box/gas tank cover build. I decided the heck with it and ordered the mar-k hidden fastener bed rails along with a few rails for the bottom wood surround for the tank order a short fleet bed wood kit so the wood will match. Also waiting on some clear bed liner to come in so I can start treating the bed wood on the truck top n bottom :d

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D

got some of the hardware in the other day stainless rail strips for the tool box build up. Also layed in the battery to starter cable with the 375 amp fusible link setup. waiting on some high temp sleeving to come in for it now then finish it up. Also started playing with polishing the stainless looks good rough polished also reinstalled the "I hate it " column. looking for other options this thing just is not fun working with and was supposedly DIRECT fit no mods needed..... well I tell ya mods were needed! Also looking at my throttle pedal mounting setup and going to be redesigning it here soon as well just does not look good under the dash :/

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D

Well battery starter cable is finished and hooked up. Still a few more things to get finished with grounding cables to get the truck ready to fire up

Also got the passenger side perfectly aligned or dammed near and now have to figure how to get it adjusted so it closes properly

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D

and finally the gauge cluster has been bugging me..... but finding someone to make an aluminum panel designed for speedhut gauges for a reasonable price has been difficult so trying it myself lol...... these pictures are the second attempt at it will have more this weekend to post how its coming along. I did get lucky and find the carbide cutters I needed for the gauges and the ac vent in the cluster along with a 5/8 inch metal draw through punch for the buttons...... the first panel I cut with tin snips lol not happy with it I ordered a drill mounted nibbler and came out much much smoother

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D

And the 76 tilt steering column is just about finished. currently in contact with a local rebuilding guy who is going to smooth it out and paint it along with tear down and re grease everything. He also said he would fix any issues while inside it. Also the spacers I glued on as you can see in the pictures worked perfectly for allowing the key to function properly!!!!

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D

Go the gauge panel redo coming along nicely, Picked up a bead blaster recently and got the panel blasted and etch primered going to start laying paint on it here soon. The panel looks good rough polished think will stick with this look

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D

I also got the clear bed liner start..... Well lets just say it definitely dulls the clear coat sheen so will just use it on the bottom of the bed only in this case.
stuff tends to orange peel pretty badly even with a second coat..... lesson learned there is another one on the market but it 5x more expensive may get a small batch of it and try it on some bare wood I have laying around

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D

Got the gauge cluster finished up last night and it turned out nice... The professional ones look great but there are times just doing one yourself is so rewarding when it turns out pretty decent Also got the lokar vortec truck pedal in so will be working on its install soon. For those that do there own wiring there is another Delphi connector that fits these pedal sensors they are about 2-3 bucks at mouser parts number :15336013 its a GT 150 replacement connector for the older pull to seats much easier to service if ever needed.

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D

I also recently got some nifty p clips in that have a ratchet closure. They are designed for telecom bundles but they are a nice way to mount my charging and battery cables. They go from 1/4 inch all the way up to 3 inch bundles and best of all they are bloody cheap lol..... I ordered I thought was just 10 of the clips to try out thinking each clip was 2.60 a piece...……. oooohhhhh no I got 10 bags of 5 each for the 2.60 price tag so will be taking a few of them back rotflmao!!!!!

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D

Well the lokar pedal is installed and what a pain in the ass they made it. the mounting nut is semi free floating in the housing making it a total pain in the lass to get the bolt lined up through the panel. So I ended up making some mounting studs and did it that way still tore my hands up pretty good getting it fully done :/ also set up a temporary key switch on the front of the truck lol so I can test fire the engine soon!!! Currently waiting on an updated delphi plug for the pedal assembly should be in this week.
