Having a back up is always a good idea.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build

got my nos cast iron nose cone now and the starter is assembled. Now I need to get the correct bolts for the iron nose. the aluminum nose bolts are longer. also got a starter solenoid shield original from a 67 corvette. not sure how much heat this will stop but better than nothing. may be a pain to get at the wires after though when I have to remove it.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build

I got my a/c pump belt shields. These should help keep the oil off the underside of my hood lol. These are from 1968 era GM cars. look correct but the trucks never had them I don't think.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build

I Finished restoring my original oil bath air cleaner today. I had it powder coated last summer and this week I went and bought some oil bath filter element made for restoration on older tractors. bought 4 bags of it and it worked out very nicely. here's some pic's . I also had an original style paper element air cleaner powder coated and have it as well. I may just use the oil bath for shows and run the paper element when I actually drive the truck (someday) but I guess well see.

Would you mind sharing what brand and color of stain you are using? I really like this. I'm just about ready to start on my bed.

Looks awesome!

I'm also glad to see that my kids aren't the only ones that like to stand on their heads on the couch!

It was made up by my cabinet makers. The name is arrow head but the brand I am unsure of.It is a spray on only stain.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build

Here is something cool. I picked these new 1967 Saskatchewan licence plates up a few years ago on kijiji in the original packaging and thought I would share them with you. one pair is for trucks and the other pair is for passenger cars (maby for the matching 67 chevelle I also dream about having some day) and also I have a pair of 67 truck plates that I found in the buddy bucket counsel. I wont restore the originals being that I have new ones. these are cool.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build

Great build. This will be a great resource as I start to putting back together. Question- is your 327 original to your truck? If so could you tell me the head and intake casting numbers? Thanks!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build

That wood looks great! As does the rest of your parts. I had to use a cast iron starter nose on my 402. I just couldn't keep the aluminum ones from cracking or breaking off. Keep the pictures coming.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build

work has been slow as I am getting into my busy season at work. Dennis is having trouble making the mould for my new steering wheel so I thought I would share 2 pic's of what it will look like when finished. just used a blue wheel but when finished it will be red. the wheel is from a 1967 impala originally.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build

A few more just in case someone needs photos of the 283/327 style air injection. Just not sure where the vacuum signal hose hooks up to.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build

Who did you have build your carb???

The springs on the brake drums dampen vibration (however small they may be), already previously posted, allow for better brake operation, if thats possible w/ drum brakes, the springs ARE needed, couldn't hurt w/ heat dissipation either.

What rear is that, maybe particular to the GMC leaf spring pickups??? or heavy duty option???

Never ever seen one of those alternators, good find on spare.

I was at an NHRA drag race in Houston, Texas in 1990. There was a racer from your town. his name was Xenon Kotelko, the announcer enjoyed saying his name, and then the name of your city...
