67 gmc 4x4
 
Well my 67 gmc finally arrived at my house today. It is going to be a neat truck to restore. It is a super custom with buddy buckets, air conditioning and a 305 v6. The truck runs and drives good. It has got to be a fairly unusual truck.

Glad to see it finally made it home! I know you've been waiting awhile. Feels good doesn't it?!

Lets see, big back window 67, buddies, AC, Super custom, 4spd, 4x4, It doesn't get any better than that!! Wanna trade?

Let me know what the 305 V6 4spd combo is like. That was the only engine available in a 67 GMC 4x4 btw.

Nice truck!! I am jealous. i really wish that truck was closer to me when i saw it on Ebay. i love that truck.

Re: 67 gmc 4x4
 
Thanks for all of the replies. I will take some better pictures tomorrow.
I first saw this truck for sale back last march. I finally bought the truck in november.

I drove the truck down the road I live on today. The speedometer is not working so I don't know how fast I was going. I am going to look at that tomorrow. When I get that fixed I will get up to speed to check the high gear rpm, but as of now it seems to be alright. It is no racer but good low end torque. I did not want to go very far. The right front spring shackle is broken, and the drivers side motor mount looks like it has been broke and welded back.

Vintage, when you have time pm me a pic of the drivers side mount on your truck. That is the only way I can tell what it is supposed to look like. (Glad to have another v6 4x4 for reference.) It looks like that mount has the engine sitting high on the drivers side which in turn has the passenger side valve cover very close to the firewall.

Man I would love to have that power steering off of your truck.:lol:

Re: 67 gmc 4x4
 
NICE!!! I posted the auction number on the sight here when i saw that on e-bay. Very unique truck. We need some new pics now however. Congrats!

great find. that is one sweet truck congrats.

special-K 02-03-2011 08:12 AM

Re: 67 gmc 4x4
 
That is definitely a very special truck. It is rare. '67 SWB K/10s are low production. If it was a CST Cheyy it would be rare. Figure the way smaller portion of GMCs and yours being a Super Custom with a/c. That's a very special truck.

ps:All Super Customs had bucket seats.

Very Cool truck and agreed on that it is a rarity among our trucks.

vectorit 02-03-2011 01:34 PM

Re: 67 gmc 4x4
 
Awesome! Everything about that truck is cool, and I personally would restore it back to original. Since it is so unique to a degree, what with the V6 still in it and the seats.

Looking forward to seeing more pics of it!

Congrats!

Re: 67 gmc 4x4
 
Thanks for all of the comments. I have a few more pics of the truck but I forgot to change them over ot vga format.

On this truck the rear leaf springs are only two leaves like the front. Were all 67's like that?

I was told this truck was bought new by a grape farmer in California. It doesnt look like it was used too much on the highway, just around the farm. It still has the original windshield that is soft ray and all other glasses are tinted also, and the pedals are not worn very much.

Re: 67 gmc 4x4
 
Clint,

I assume this has a wood bed floor? I'll take some pictures of the engine mount on mine but it also looks like the valve cover is close to the firewall. Does yours have traces of a lockout hub info sticker on the glovebox and transfer case instructions on the ceiling like mine? Also, I'd like to see your rearview mirror mount to see if it compares with mine. Did you find the buildsheet yet?

jud

Very cool and rare truck!!

Re: 67 gmc 4x4
 
The truck does have a wood bed floor. The sticker is good that is on the ceiling, but there are no traces of a sticker ever being on the glovebox. Someone has taken the rear view mirror in my truck. But the mounting holes are still there. Here is a pic of the mount location and the 4x4 sticker:

Re: 67 gmc 4x4
 
in 67 the knobs .sun visor clips, rear view mirror bracket,inside window crank adn door handle the out side door handels ,the vent windows,the glove box door ,and that is about it so if you are missing anything above it is going to be alot tougher to find 67s are like 68s but at the same time theey are almost a one off year

The next is the wood in the bed:

This is the drivers side. Dont you love the green door. The original door is in the back.
http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q...eepman/207.jpg
The last pic is the rear springs. The two leaf kind?
http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q...eepman/213.jpg
If you want to see any more pics let me know.

Re: 67 gmc 4x4
 
why was the driver door taken off???

75gmc454 02-03-2011 11:43 PM

Re: 67 gmc 4x4
 
Thanks for the info Rick, and everybody's comments. I am missing that mirror and the choke knob. Also the drivers side seatbelt.

75gmc454 02-03-2011 11:44 PM

Re: 67 gmc 4x4
 
The previous owner must have had the door open and backed up and sprung the door backwards. I may be able to fix it, but not sure.

67chevy1series 02-03-2011 11:45 PM

Re: 67 gmc 4x4
 
yes the seat belts are one year only as well i knew i was forgeting somthin...well i found out the hard way so i always tell all the new 67 owners you are also missing a cigarette lighter knob

bfay17 02-03-2011 11:47 PM

Re: 67 gmc 4x4
 
I believe the 67-68 had the 2 leaf rear springs. Im not 100% certain though.

teeitup 02-03-2011 11:49 PM

Re: 67 gmc 4x4
 
Yes my 67 4x4 has 2 leaf rear springs

75gmc454 02-03-2011 11:51 PM

Re: 67 gmc 4x4
 
That is good to know that the springs are right.
Here is a pic of the belts:

Re: 67 gmc 4x4
 
you have a middle seat belt!!!!! wow amzingly hard to find for a 67 you have a gmc so you need the 67 seat belts with no bow tie on them unless you grind it off and make it smooth like a gmc one....

chewychevy67 02-04-2011 12:27 AM

Re: 67 gmc 4x4
 
Now im even more jealous. i love the front of the 67 gmc's especially the bumper guards. your truck is definately a good start for a project.

Bob B. 02-04-2011 12:35 AM

Re: 67 gmc 4x4
 
Naturally I like it! I think you will find the GMC V-6 makes a great off road engine. Loads of torque at low r.p.m.'s. Correct on the 2 leaf tapered rear springs. The right valve cover does come very close to the firewall. In fact, the shop manual says to put the #6 cylinder on the exhaust stroke before you try to remove it. There is a 'sweet spot', when you find it the valve cover comes right off.

If you don't already know, here is the greatest collection of GMC V-6 experts known to man:

Great truck, good luck with it.

Re: 67 gmc 4x4
 
Please keep sharing photo's! That thing is a gold mine of things to document, since it hasn't been messed with too much.

I'm interested in the drive train in particular.
Axles, engine, trans, and t-case.

Save that carpet, and have a new one made using that one as a template.
The t-case rubber boot is not reproduced in the original style like that, so if it is still good enough to save then I recommend it.

67/68 Stuff like that is only reproduced in a generic fit all style, which to me is frustrating when vendors tout things as being correct when they are in fact not.

75gmc454 02-04-2011 12:55 AM

Re: 67 gmc 4x4
 
Glad to see all of the replies. Keep them coming.

I will gladly take any pictures that anyone wants to see. Thanks for all of the ideas on the interior pieces. I will save all that I can for a template.
