Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
in the process of being patient awaiting the body to get painted started working on the vortec 8.1 accessory brackets for the front of the engine. I am using a combination of the Silverado and Kodiak brackets to get everything where I want it in the engine compartment which is taking a lil head scratching and spacing to get things lined up lol.. So far I have it roughed in just waiting till I get my water pump and alt and a few other things together to finalize it and then find a belt to fit this beast. the 8.1 is definitely a nice engine since they have multiple different setups for several different trucks  the hardest one to find is the danged kodiak truck ac bracket which you definitely do not want to try and order new from gm at 550$. I got lucky and found one at a HD truck salvage yard recently for quite a bit less lol..
