Default Re: '65 GMC 1500 project. From the Netherlands

Update:

Fitted the wiper and cowl. Remade one of the wiper shaft bearings as a piece had broken off. Made adapters for the wiper arms to facilitate the use of modern style wipers.

Added separate ground wires to the turn signals, these work now like they should. As a connection I used the caged nuts that are used for Chevrolet turn signals, but are not used on the GMC. These are 8-32 thread.

Took the fuel tank out to rustproof the double wall behind the cab and rear of floor, and to replace the plastic filler neck as it was cracked.

Most work is going into the preparations to build the bed back up. Paint work on the cross sills and bed strips, weld work on the fenders etc. Lost one cross sill in the fire, had to fully redo a repro piece of junk to get it fit properly.

Still working on the heater box, the heater core leaked, a solder repair should to the trick. It was full of calcium so that was cleaned out. If it does not work out I will order a new heater core.
