Bigmoe's 65 GMC10 project.
I've been posting occasion pics of my project related to what ever I was needing advice on at the time, etc., but now that it's finally done I thought I'd post some pics of the entire project. It was 2 1/2 years in the making but over a year of that was at the body shop. I bought the truck as a basket case, a 65 GMC. The frame had been cleaned and painted and the cab had been at a reputable body shop to be prepped for paint. It came with two boxes and I also bought a parts truck. The 5.3LS motor I got from a written off 2008 Chev Tahoe that had only 69000km (43000 miles). My apologies for the ones that are upside down. I finally figured out which way to hold my iphone.

I acquired a square body front crossmember. 2 1/2" drop spindles.

Exhaust holes through the crossmember and modified trans crossmember for exhaust.

Engine plates. Ended up using 3rd hole set forward to clear the firewall.

Re: Bigmoe's 65 GMC10 project.
Picked up some 2008 Odyssey second row seats. I ended up recessing the mounts to gain more headroom. (I'm 6'3) They can be popped out of the truck by just pulling a release handle.I removed the handles on the back of the seats so they would go back further and removed the inner arm rests. Console is from a newer Silverado.

Re: Bigmoe's 65 GMC10 project.
Filler in the corner of the box. Filling it is slowed, probably because of the 45 degree elbow, but it's not too bad.

Man that's looking sweet!
Love those license plate mounts. I'm going to make a pair for mine.
