Re: GMC K10 Panel

Nice job jon looks great!

Re: GMC K10 Panel

Looks fantastic. Great pics, thanks.

Re: GMC K10 Panel

That is one amazing panel! Looking forward to your next post.

Re: GMC K10 Panel

Thanks for sharing photos of your 100% concourse restoration 60-66. It's a treat to see a GMC done exactly the same way it would have been done at a GMC assembly plant. The quality of the work is outstanding, 17.5" wheels and tires really look right at home on this 4x4. Bravo!

Re: GMC K10 Panel

Thanks for all the positive comments guys . Lots more done this week. Wiring done , steering column rebuilt and installed, clutch linkage, dash just about done, doors done. Working on gas tank now. Hopefully able to fire it up in a week or two.

Re: GMC K10 Panel

Looks fantastic, another fine truck for your collection.

Re: GMC K10 Panel

I echo all the comments posted so far about this fine panel, amazing restoration and photos. If I may ask, what are the plans once completed?

Re: GMC K10 Panel

Nice, Jon. So when's your 60-66 restoration guide coming out? Lol.

Re: GMC K10 Panel

GMC's are indeed really unique. There is so much more than just a grill and nameplate change that was standard fare in the 70's and on. Has anybody come up with the actual number of differences? I'm thinking close to a dozen!

...right off the top, there's:
1) grill
2) badges
3) trim
4) hubcaps /also included on 4wd
5) V-6 engine option
6) single hump dash - all years
7) instrumentation
8) interior color choices including floor mat
9) sliding seat tracks in rear (sub)
10) exterior paint colors / two-tone layout / white wheels
11) hood nostrils/ front directional lights
12) rear cab mounts on 3/4 ton
then probably a lot more mechanical bits....
what'd I miss?

Re: GMC K10 Panel

VERY nice.
Got part numbers for the radiator hoses?

Tail light lenses? I've seen c10s that have the bowtie on them and my GMC had blank ones.

Now were talking! Maybe close to 2 dozen now. I'll add carburetors, Strombergs and Carters. Spicer axles with rear leaf springs ( most models-but not all) turn signal switches and printed circuit dash wiring. Upholstry patterns always different both standard and Customs. Bucket seat option for '66.

Re: GMC K10 Panel

Defrost ducting and kick panel vent controls
Heater controls
Suburban Custom trim

This probably should be it's own thread so as not to hijack the original topic.

Re: GMC K10 Panel

Something I noticed when putting the thrift heater back in this truck. The lever control under the dash , the arm is longer on GMC. I have two NOS Chevy thrift heaters , was able to use some parts but not all. The cable/switch is different, wire harness also.

1962-1966 GMC Power Steering equipped front Inner fenders are also unique , they were punched for the PS hoses making the PS hoses also different than Chevy.

First with power steering in this era of truck. 1962 torsion bar PS from GMC only.

All the black metal under the hood , inner fenders etc on GMC specific plants the sheet metal is painted almost a gloss black when new . I have an NOS GMC PS inner fender and its gloss black as compared to anything Chevy.

Radiators , GMC , on some trucks used its own unique taller tank design. On others used the Chevy style. Mainly 1963-1966 models.

Air Cleaners , NO AC Delco units , all "United Air Cleaner" from NOVO Industrial out of Chicago.

Outside rear view mirrors , Re-Trac for West coast style , single arm mirrors and arms painted white instead of body color or Silver in 66.

Hose clamps are another item.

And of course the details of paint on the body door jambs and firewalls of GMC Specific plants

Theres more to come. I dont mind this discussion at all on this thread.

Re: GMC K10 Panel

Dadgum, the attention to detail is astonishing. I hope to one day be able to see this panel in person

Re: GMC K10 Panel

Just when you think it can't get any better, he pulls out the NOS Cluster; Amazing!
