**scotts62** · 11-07-2009, 05:45 PM

Hey there ya go! A little progress goes a long way

Tx Firefighter · 11-07-2009, 09:29 PM

I got a used engine and trans for my quick build 63 farm truck.

monolith · 11-07-2009, 10:18 PM

Rattle canned the bed flat black and installed some new 2 ga battery cables on the 64 GMC- now I need a new carb.

**DPowers** · 11-08-2009, 01:23 PM

Yesterday I picked up a '64 GMC cab that is sitting- I mean literally just sitting on a '73-87 frame. Now to figure out what to do with this one....

Yesterday front wheel bearing pack , brake check, greased frontend, resealed old factory seal at lower seam on cowl just below vent, it started leaking a couple of years ago.

This is what's on there now:

1964 GMC 305 V6

Truthfully, I don't even know what brand or model it is as I'm pretty new to these trucks, Old Rochester maybe? This one's shooting fuel out from under the brown washer in the middle of the body where the arm comes up.

Can these be rebuilt expediently?

I've also read that folks are swapping out Holley 500's on these motors- any advice on the matter is appreciated.

DWright · 11-08-2009, 06:55 PM

I believe that is a stromberg ww carb and it looks like you have a busted accelerator pump seal. The part number for the rebuild kit is CK449 and it should run you about $50. They arent hard to rebuild but switching to a 500cfm 2bbl Holley would be a better choice as these carbs are very outdated; even in '64. Now would be the time to swap. But thats just my opinion. If you had an inline 6 i have a freshly rebuilt rochester laying around and was gonna offer it to you to get you going again, but thats not the case here.

sams60gmc · 11-08-2009, 08:17 PM

Picked up these yesterday.

quickchevy · 11-08-2009, 08:28 PM

Opened the garage door and looked at it.

I'm going to run one of them after I shorten my frame. And I'm selling one to a guy at work. I'm in the market for some 60's style fenders tho.

MXmaniac · 11-08-2009, 08:51 PM

I put some new lug nuts on the front, put the driver's side fender back on. Then I went for a joyride with my girlfriend and taught her how to drive three-on-the-tree.

jgh64pkup · 11-08-2009, 08:53 PM

put the hood on it

Hottrucks · 11-08-2009, 09:00 PM

use it to haul the smoker to a freinds house...ok so it weighs about 6 lbs but I did put a full bag of charcoal in the bed and had 14 lbs of dry rubbed ribs in a cookie sheet on the pass floor..........

alot better than what it has been doing...yea still on cord wood duty maybe another coulpe weeks of that most everyday then the old girl is going to get a fluid change before winter.....

Hey MX gotte love them Texas Girls...does she have an older sister or single Mom?? If they love old trucks then I love them too......

Scot_Douglas · 11-08-2009, 09:18 PM

Drove about 100 miles taking the long way and back from a buddy's house. He loaned me a cherry picker and an engine stand. Got lots of looks cruising alone in the 66 with those things out back.

Slow Build · 11-08-2009, 09:39 PM

I drove mine over to check out lownslw64's ride (his build thread http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=367652 ). When my truck grows up it wants to be just like that. His frame and suspension are pretty much done and done nice. You can tell he's not rushing things and doing them right. We talked for awhile and it sounds like we have alot of common goals for our trucks. It's great to see someone making good strides toward his goals, mine are still in dream, or more accurately delusional state. It inspired me though. I hope I can help him out sometime and get more inspired.

Great guy too. Showed me everything on the truck and shared alot of knowledge. I can't believe this is his first build. I'm hoping to run into him at the Goodguy's Get Together in Pleasanton next weekend (Nov 14-15) and by that man a beer.

Cool thread Sam.
I didn't do much... replaced the heater wheel, OG one was making a racket. Wired in some courtesy lights with door jamb switches.
Might have a line on a posi 3.73 rear end... the 3.08 peg-leg and T5 is a bad combo.

jbgroby · 11-09-2009, 09:28 AM

Monolith,

The change is not hard, you already have the rare part - "The Dual Intake", with out that you're dead in the water.

You need a holley 500 CFM carb, or another brand of your likin' and adaptor plate and you might need to make a new accelator linkage due to the dog leg you'll need, but other than that you're good to good. See webshots pics below.

monolith · 11-09-2009, 09:46 AM

Thanks a million for the advice guys! This site is a goldmine of encouragement and knowledge.

I'll be ordering a Holley 500 today after work, went around to my FLAPS's yesterday- no luck finding one in stock, have to order it.
