Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D

here are a few more pics of getting the engine compartment ready. The booster is from a 1979 gmc 3/4 ton bought it at oreillys auto. The power steering lines were made by a shop one end has sae american threads and the other end of the power line has a metric fitting for the newer steering pump. The circled holes on the firewall I am going to be working on filling in. Just gonna go simple on it wire brush clean the areas around the holds and jb weld some metal over them. The shifter boot is for the lokar shifter I am using. the 6l80e is like the 700 r4 shifter positioning has 5 positions. 5th being the manual mode which I will do a rocker switch for since speartech knows how to wire it up. Also being doing a tow haul switch as well some where in the wiring works. The center hump you are looking at it common in the earlier 60 chevy and gmc 1/2 and 3/4 tons with a 2 speed hydramatic in em. I paid 100 bucks for the entire truck I got this one out of The steering column setup is an ididt with a splined end and DD end for the newer sterring box also a salvage part from a 79 3/4 drilled out the plastic parts that cause it to collapse in a wreck and that allowed me to shorten it to fit my truck.
