Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Ha. I didn't lie when i said slow going but the stock part definitely got away on me. Id like to think i kept everything era though. It better not take me 10 more years. I'm a little disappointed it has already been 10. But the wait will be worth it

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
The frame will soon be going to meet the cab at the metal shop for door and front end alignment. I put the lid on to get it off the floor. I'm really not sure about this one but we'll see. If I do I will make the key match the doors using a gm lock. I am going to remove all the engine accessories and close it up for its travels.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
The more I look at this lid the more I dont like it. It lloooks outof place with all the era stuff i have put in the truck nd makes it look too 90's. I have already decided I'm not going to use it but it will serve as protection of my stuff in the box till it needs to come off for metal work I guess.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Here are some pictures of how the conduit will run in to the door from the pillar. Had the pillar area recesed so the boot wnt kink and i can still use the fender to cab seals. Looks sharp. Now the old hole can be welded up Added the interior light door actuator hole to my cab as well. Always wondered why they wouldn't have just started with those in 67. The cars had them already.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
PToday I finished drilling the rest of the holes for my curly maple bed floor. The rest of the truck will go to the bodyshop in the next couple of weeks so after this I'll finish coat it. That is all I will have to do when it's all gone to the shop. I ordered the jet black dye today as well! This is what I hoe to have as a finish product.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
So as I'm going thru this stuff to get ready for paint (hopefully sooner than later ) I'm finishing up the small stuff I wanted to do. I took the column apart for repaint and since I moved my column back I added enough metal to the shift tube to put the linkage back in the factory spot. I'm not sure if this would have given me trouble but I didn't want to find out after it was painted and installed

Got my liquid tire chain canisters mounted in the dust shields. Here is how they look mounted.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Made a little recessed area on the floor hump area So the rug can sit flat and the power seat harness will be undetectable under it. Also added the pins to the new floor that hold the factory flooring and insulation in place. The new floors do not have those.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
I got the engine all cleaned up and ready to go to the metal shop to fit the cab to the frame. Also I put the 16:1 worm gear into the steering box and did a ton of little odds and ends . Was a productive day for sure. Hopefully in the next week or 2 it can be transported.

Today I gave the tonneau cover to someone who may use it so it's gone.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
It's been a long time coming and feels awesome to see some major visual progress. I can finally see a light at the end of the tunnel slightly!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Lol. It's hockey season here already even though it's still 20 c. I also got all 4 of my t3 lenses ready to glue to the h4 bases but.......I forgot to order new mixing tips for the epoxy so I'll have to wait for amazon to bring me another batch of those before I can see what all 4 will look like.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
This went from a family friendly to a full on skin flick.
Two thumbs up.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
So I got all 4 t3 bulbs in the rad support and lit them up to see what they all look like on bright and low beam. Here's the results. No retrobrights for sure bt better than stock bulbs. They do look a bit better in person than these pictures.
