o also your dash the black on the top is that an org paint line or is that something somebody else did i had planed on doing that same thing before i even seen your dash lol

I was thinking about putting a handle back there for the same reason. LOL

The knob on the glovebox is just a wooden cabinet knob. Whatever works right. It looks good, and has been on there since before either my buddy or I had the truck.

The dash is how the GMC's came. The rest of the interior is silver, and the top of the dash is charcoal, according to what I have read.

It doesn't look like the holes by your visor are big enough for a spotlight from that picture. Do they go all the way through? Maybe an antenna wire?

I didn't notice your awesome carpet too! LOL Not quite a cool as what was in mine though! LOL

[KroAutomotiveInc]

yeah i had a custom carpet job to haha and yeah the holes go all the way though and the P.O did say there was a spot light there he also said it was an org light but im sure he was a little kid when it was in there so his dad could of put it on before he even could of remembered

I knew there was a specific thread for factory spotlight locations.

MarkB01 started this thread. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=401449

He has a '60 GMC also, his is only 2wd though.

I have been waiting for a big run of plans to finish printing, so I was looking through the 4x4 thread, and found the flatbed that I liked.

Not exactly what I was thinking, but something along these lines. I would extend the front of the bed up and over the cab as a headache rack, but follow the lines of the cab on the way up.


Does anyone happen to know anything more about this truck? Special-K posted it back in 2008, so I'm not going to hold my breath, but it is worth a shot!

[chevy_man5]

And a few more.






My son started drooling when he saw this one. LOL





The last one here, I caught as I was scrolling by. J.Kirn's 1960 Chevy has the 4wd shifter on the right of the main shifter... I will send him a message, and see if he knows anything about why his and mine are on the right.

Theoretically, the gasket for the Front Dana 44 and the rear should be the same right? None of the parts stores I have talked to show a gasket for the front diff. They all specify rear. I haven't looked at the online retailers yet, just figured I would ask here too.

I was wanting to open up the diff covers this weekend to verify that when they replaced the rear axle, they matched the front gears. Any suggestions for putting them back together without having leaks?

[KroAutomotiveInc]

on my 64 i put the rear diff cover back on with only silicon havent had a drop out of it do both the axle and cover snug it all up but do not tighten it down all the way let it dry some then give it a final tightening

[chevy_man5]

No gasket at all Kro? I have heard of people doing that, but didn't know anyone personally that has done it.

[KroAutomotiveInc]

yeah no gasket at all just get a nice level of silicon on both sides get it up there and just get it snug i mean just a little more then finger tight all the way around you dont want to smash out all your silicon and when it drys some tighten everything up and you should be good to go

This should be ok to post in my thread.

My friend entered into a contest at the local Harley store where he can win a free training endorsement class, a free helmet, jacket, gloves and boots. He has been down a rough road for a few years, and is finally getting his life straightened out, and saving for his dream bike. This would help him out tremendously! He didn't even know he was in the finalists until earlier today, and the voting ends on the 14th. I try to help out the other people on here who post their contest entries, so hopefully some of that good Karma will help my buddy out!

If you have a Facebook account, you can "Like" the Harley shop, and then vote. After that I'm sure you can "Unlike" them. Maybe wait a couple of days if you can though. https://www.facebook.com/highdeserth...42144182495596

His name is Jeremy, and he is near the bottom of the list.

I thank you, and I know he would too!

[chevy_man5]

Thanks Kro! I bought a gasket for the rear, and haven't been home enough to check and see if it matches the front too.

Maybe I'll return it, and just go your route!

[chevy_man5]

My buddy won the contest I posted about back on post #274 and #299

Thanks to any of you who voted for him!! They said he had twice as many votes as the second place person! He goes in next weekend to get fitted, and pick out what he wants.

Thanks again!

Thanks Tony!!

[1985-GMC]

Sure thing Jason, I hope he wins!

[thirdstreettito]

Go with a LubeLocker gasket and you wont need RTV.

http://lubelocker.com/products/products/view/2/3

I've got one and no drips, very nice piece!

[chevy_man5]

We'll find out tomorrow I guess Tony. Thanks again, and thanks to anyone else who helps him out!!

Bradley, I'll bet they are quite proud of that gasket! Looks like it would work very good though. I can't find the receipt for the gasket I bought, so I may put it on one diff, then RTV the other. If either of them leaks, I will see about ordering a couple of those. How much did it cost you?

[KroAutomotiveInc]

we got any pics of 60-66's with off road front bumpers?

[chevy_man5]

I haven't really looked for them. I was planning on leaving the stock bumper and building a grille guard like A.T. rockdriller's

[KroAutomotiveInc]

yeah i cant seem to find much debating on what your planing or a massive off road bumper for running over trees fences cars what ever might be in my way lol

[chevy_man5]

LOL My son likes your idea!

[KroAutomotiveInc]

something like this is what im picturing

[chevy_man5]

Here is a few I just found.
