Re: Project Clementine- 1965 GMC 3/4 LWB Long and Low Static Drop
Little update.
-Wiring was fixed right away. The alternator hot wire melted on the exhaust manifold and totally melted the insulation from one end to the other. New wire and ends fixed the problem, also some cable ties to keep the wire away from hot things.
-I installed a 7 blade fan with a clutch. It works great. Moves a lot of air.
-While looking around my truck a bit, I discovered that my sloppy steering was not just a worn steering box, but mostly the result of a perished rag joint. It was torn in 4 places, 1 of which was all the way through. New one installed, Feels like a different truck. I can't wait for power steering!
-Crossmember and wheels are at the powdercoater,
- Cleaned up the 12 bolt rear a bit. Will need to rebuild the brakes and take a look at the gears before installation.
Getting very close to taking the truck apart.
