Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D

Well apparently that nice looking diff cover turned out to be a bust it fits f250 super duties only grrrrr!!!!! Got into an argument with the parts company that sold it too me they swear it will fit rotflmao.. My response yeah it will fit if you make a 1/2 inch spacer to go between it and the mounting flange :/ So went through amazon and disputed the sale since they refused to reply about a return and got my money back and apparently get to keep the dammed cover lol think will try and resell if and if not hang on my wall as a reminder to call the company first lol. Went ahead and spent the extra money and bought the mag hytec version and it definitely fits. Come to find out the dana 60 70 and 80 axles all use the same cover.... also go the axle in place but forgot to get the correct length u bolts rothflmao so have to go the spring company and get some new ones made up that are 1.5 inches longer now. Once that turkey is bolted in can roll the frame out side and pressure wash it. Then comes time to start getting the engine and transmission ready to drop in and start the brake and fuel line getting done. Wiring harness is as far as I can get it till I get all my parts in hand on the engine should have the improved intake manifold back next week some time so ready. next month or too will be getting the body parts back as well and can start building an a frame to lift the cab back on the chassis. Also sent out the parts to my machinist friend in dallas to build the motor adapter plate for the hoist mechanism so that is another thing off the list few more to go and get this thing aligned and ready to drive got lots of parts to get broken in so going to be going easy on it for awhile
