Re: '60 GMC 4x4 Long Fenderside

Ok, I have been slacking on the updates! We haven't gotten a whole lot more done recently, but here is what we have accomplished.

We have found that every seal on the drivetrain is leaking... all over the floor. So much for putting in new fluid. LOL

My son (Chevyman10) came up with a cool custom idea for the glovebox. It had an old wooden cabinet knob under the latch.

His idea was that since there was already a hole there, why not take one of the extra gray knobs I had, we used a windshield washer one, cut it down to look right, fill it with epoxy, and make the knob match the rest of the dash. Here is the finished result.

We also welded in the patch panel on the trans hump. There are still some pinholes I need to fill, and some low areas, but it is much better than the original one!
