Looking really awesome. What engine is that your running and what are you planning for exhaust?

Can you share some photos for your cab jig? i did it the hard way with 6 buddys but only 4 of us were actually doing anything hahaha, hopefully it goes back on a little smoother on install

Re: 1964 GMC Build

used the cab jig and did the removal and install by myself, not smart, but I hate to rely on others.

Re: 1964 GMC Build

Motor is a SBC 350 from Jegs mated to a 700R4 Stage 2 from Jegs. I bought them together as a package from a Marketplace seller. I am running Tru-Ram horn exhaust maniford. I am planning on taking next week to have 2-1/2 inch exhaust with flowmaster 40's istalled with side exit in front of rear tires. Open to suggestions if this is not a good route. I wanted to come out of the bed side, but don't have the heart to cut up the bed and ruin the new paint.

Re: 1964 GMC Build

Haven't had time to reassemble for a few months now. Day job consumed my life. Just got started again. Truck was blown apart when I bought it. I need a bit of help with inner fender to radiator support connection. My inner panels have 2 lower holes, see arrow. But radiator support does not have holes to support this connection. Are these holes not needed. Current connection seems adequate without these 2 additional attachment points.

Re: 1964 GMC Build

My original core support did not have bolts there either. You're good there

Re: 1964 GMC Build

I'm a little closer. Need to plumb the trans cooler lines, wiring, glass, and carpeting. Also need to sort out the tires and wheels.

Very nice! Thank you for sharing. Do you have more information on where you got the tailgate latch?

Re: 1964 GMC Build

Tailgate latch system is from all American billet out of Arizona. It is sold at many other sites including classic industries. It was not a direct bolt in, I had to modify to get it to fit.

Re: 1964 GMC Build

I had issues with the brackets on the tailgate side interfering with the cable when closing. I had to grind them off. Works fine now.
