landman Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 Are there any kits made of the early 60's GMC B-7000?
Chuck Most Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 There was a B-series cab available a few years ago- IIRC it was mastered by Evan Hermel but I don't recall who cast it.
landman Posted December 10, 2014 Author Posted December 10, 2014 If you look closely, the cab is very similar to the '65 Chevy pickup's. Using that and the hood of a Ford N 600 I'm sure I can cobble a good semblance of a B 7000.
Chuck Most Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 You should be off to a pretty good start going that route. The cab shell is the same- the doors, glass, and most of the outer panels and structure interchanged with the pickup cabs. The floor and firewall might have differed slightly, but I don't know that for a fact.
landman Posted January 9, 2015 Author Posted January 9, 2015 Is there a kit of GM's gas V6's made? Like this one?
Fabrux Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Sadly, no. I've thought about starting with a Chevrolet W engine but beyond chopping two cylinders off the piston angle would need to be changed from 90° to 60°...beyond my current skill set.
landman Posted January 9, 2015 Author Posted January 9, 2015 Too bad, With this one, we could use the heads, intake and exhaust manifolds and valve covers on a scratchbuilt block.
Chuck Most Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Jeff Harper used a Linberg 1:20 S-10 V6 for the basis of one he built, then scratchbuilt the heads and rocker covers.

Chuck Most Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Not that I'm aware of. The '64 GMC crew cab he built it for is on his club's website but there aren't any engine pics. http://www.masscar.com/jeff-harper.html
landman Posted January 10, 2015 Author Posted January 10, 2015 Getting some info & pictures together along with some measurements.
