Re: 57 GMC / C4 Build

So the cab is set on the chassis and positioned where I want it. Tacked some mounting points onto the frame rails and got everything torqued down.


The engine is mounted really far back and we had to do some trimming. to get it to fit.

I knew this was going to be the case, but it was still a bit nerve racking cutting out so much. Going to have to do some more clearancing as well if I don't want to have to lift the cab every time a valve cover needs to come off.

Sacrificed some sheet metal inside too.


The shifter position is not Ideal. I could probably live with it if I had to, but I think I can make up a linkage to move it forward to a more comfortable spot. I know they make kits to move the shifter internally in the housing of a T56, but I haven't found anything yet for the ZF.

Still waiting on my steering column to show up, I ordered it 3 months ago. Once I get it we can mock up the pedals and reshape the footwell around the back of the block.
