Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
well the land rover console was great till I got the kilduff shifter. It was nowhere gonna be right for the setup. So said hell with it and started building my own. still need to get the panels covered with some vinyl... still thinking about leaving it raw abs too. got the usb ports finished up and they work fantastic wife was able to keep her phone and kindle charged on our last car show lol . Ironically got these from amazon... and found a connector GM one that fits perfectly.. Was in the junkyards quite awhile back and was getting some parts from a 79 gmc truck. saw the brake switch connector and harvested a few of them.. turns out the connector is perfect for the USB charger!

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
more pics of the build. I used Tap Plastics for the panels they offer a cutting service so you can get the basic shapes and then trim it in.

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
I have not posted for awhile due to work and everything else in life lol. but making progress.. Truck is running like a champ and OMG OMG the manual shift mode on the allie 6 speed is suwwweeeeetttt!!! I have been working on getting the ac hooked up and working and boy there have been a few headaches but that's ok. finally after trial error and a few bits of mental cussing its in the truck now to hook up the rest of the system. I tried to mount the drier where old air said to and ran into grill mounting issues. then got that solved and the way the ac lines were mounted I could not mount the core support covers lol. Well that's all fixed luckily there is a local ac supply shop to help out on this problem lol. here's some pics aint pretty but will work.

Drove up to DFW for a local truck meeting and gossip session a couple weekends ago. othr then the exhaust drone at 60 mph he did fantastic... now after a few lil things to finish onwards to the suburban project!!!
Cheers Sean Wolff keep tinkering, keep planning, keep experimienting and you will get em there

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
Happily I can report the truck made the run to ddallas and back without any issues other then noisy exhaust system. planning to get that fixed in the next few weeks. Currently gathering some materials and a tool box to make a gas tank cover for the bed. Also bought a beautiful set of reproduction custom hood emblems. Pictures to follow.

Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D
ok back to an older project I started but never had the time to finish. Well he's close to being done as he can be so came back to the glovebox build. Had to completely go back and redesign it to clear the vent hoses from the old air products ac system...... still have not got that finished yet but will get there
so quite a bit of change from the first attempts but nice 5 inches deep on the passenger side so happy with how it's coming along. Talking to a hotrod shop that does 3d printing to take it and install in their GMC truck for tweaking the design Sean
