Re: 1964 GMC 1000 Fleetside
OK, I got the GMC Maintenance Manuals - X-6223, X-6323 & X-6423 yesterday. Are there others that would be good to have on hand during this journey?

Re: 1964 GMC 1000 Fleetside
It's amazing what you don't see the first one or two times you look at something. When I first looked at this truck, I thought the hood was good. I was glad because I hear they are hard to find. However, taking another look while trying to put a game plan in place I noticed the following...

I assume, being on the corner, this will drive the need for a hood replacement? ...or is there a feasible way to repair it? |

Re: 1964 GMC 1000 Fleetside
I've seen kids throw them away for less than that, but I've seen guys patch much bigger than that. If it was me I'd try to clean all the rust off then weld up the holes. A flapdisk and a wire wheel (15.00 or so for both) would clean them up pretty good. WDShaffer is the paint and body guy to go to for tips there. Do you know how to weld any?

Re: 1964 GMC 1000 Fleetside
Thanks for the props, Fetch...
Those are the most common type of rusty part: joints where dirt & water collect. Look also at your floorboards where the cab mounts are (front specifically is often bad rusty). You can fix anything if you are willing to, or if you have no option. It all depends upon what you want to gain from the project.

A doner bow-tie hood could give the patch panels necessary too. |
