I'm told there is a GMC heater that used the hole in the Left side of the hood?

While we are trying to use our hands to thaw a tiny spot to see out of. You never realize how much moisture exits your body thru your breath until you cough in a M715 ragtop driving thru a wisconsin intersection at 50mph, and then you realize how fast it freezes on the windshield.

Here is my heater. Very simple. One wire fron an on/off switch to the enclosed fan. It bolts to firewall. need to drill a couple 1" holes for the nipples to pass into the engine compartment. # 1/4" studs secure it to the firewall. It hooks up to 3/4" heater hoses. It looks like you close the...

My hardtop Windshield frame and cab back panel. The cap is green and the back panel is white. They were poth primed and painted as pictured. No olive drab anywhere. I assume they must have been after market???? I have seen one other exactly the same in a picture once. I wonder who made it. There...

Please share pics of your GMC HARDTOPS and HEATERS! An appropriate request from a Wisconsonite as we head into late fall. I have only seen 2 different heaters so far, both this week. Seems to be quite a variety of hardtops. Let us see what is out there. Close ups of corners, curves and seams...

Picture #19, what is that on the passenger side just behind the fender a few inches above the bottom of the cowl? Is that a 24volt recepticle?

brother in law lives there (Big scary hairy guy). I'll PM you.

Awesome! The pics really help us out. Picture #8 shows the airpac booster on the right above the first rear axle, Thats The $450 part it referred to earlier. Compressor is probably salvageable. Get some break fluid and see what you have. I have never met a wheel cylinder I could not get the...

I would PM Gunfreak25 to getshis phone number and give him a call. Review his posts. It will save you some headaches. I wouldn't pass up a 70's-80's 2wd chevy pickup if I were considering a gas engine swap right now. You would have most of what you need. I'm gonna check out your album and I'll...

I see a heater in the shifter picture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Does it have defrost too?

Very nice! Thanks for the pictures. I like the idea of the Diesel engine. Your truck looks very clean. Keep plugging away!

I read "part out" and got all excited. I looked on the map, you are 5 hours away from me. I pictured myself picking it up in the morning! :-P I also have family in Tracy MN so if you need some parts maybe I can help. I found a couple parts trucks in my area and feel the need to aquire one. If...

Check this out: hydraTrns Do you know the history? What fire dept had it? Mine came from a FD in northern MN. Same color, same CD sticker... Interesting. What do you plan to do with it? Did it run? I appreciate the pictures!

Wow! That is a tough one. Looks loke you have 3 choices, from my perspective. 1 Buy another and use this for parts. 2 Restore it. 3 Swap in a modern engine and trans. How much money are you willing to dedicate? If you are leaning toward 2 or 3 start with the brakes. You will need a power...

I'm referring to what looked like gasket material between the hinges and hood, hinge and cowel, hinge and door etc. It was stuck tight to the hinge itself. It was cut to the shape of the hinge mating surface and prevented water from getting betweeen the mating surfaces. Looked like gasket material.

Any suggestions for that to use under the hinges. I'm thinking tar paper or impregnated builders felt so it won't get saturated with water?????

Ha! Hood and doors are done. Had problems with MY painting. Way too cold the first time and paint ran. Too much volume for the temperature and the paint ran the second time. Blew chunks from my never been correctly cleaned gun the third time. I've been living in the 80's with my old sharpe 775...

I'm noticing a decrease in the frequency of pictures in your postings lately. It is your job to keep us GMC guys motivated! :-P (I better go post some in my thread)

There will be some flex in the frame, motor mount etc. The tailshaft has the slip joint inside on the standard TH 400 transmission so it is easier to keep it. If there was no ship joint you'll have to move the motor forward to replace a u-joint or install the driveshaft.

Looks great!
