Re: 67 GMC super custom build
So I went hunting for things gm did in the 70s with fiber optics and I found this piece. It has a bulb in it and you can hook 5 different optic lines up to it from a 1976 Oldsmobile. So I have decided to use the optic for both the lens and the keyhole. It's actually very bright with a led. So now I just have to wait for the clear printed piece with the lettering and see how it looks after that. If it's all good I'll modify the dash for the part.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
So I got the final drafts of the pieces I'm getting made. I am getting a plaquard for the fog lights made as well. It will be black and go where the choke goes oon the gauge bezel

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
So I had removed the extra temp light in the past and added a tow script but I scrapped that idea and added the overdrive script to it so now I will know when my overdrive is engaged or not when it lights up.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
I didn't like the look of the overdrive words in the red color as it isn't a warning so I changed it to blue. It is just supposed to let you know that the overdrive unit is turned on. Won't be as hard on the eyes either in blue.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
While I wait for metal work I just can't sit idle. Its a disease i tell you. I better get it all out now cause nothing is coming apart (unless its for repair) for mods after it is assembled.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Well progress has slowed. When I added the fog lights I used a 71 72 chevy bumper as the outer bumper bolts are further to the outside to clear the signal lights. So I got bumper brackets for this bumper and they almost fit without modification. I had a small spot I had to concave . I also had the shop weld in the recessed areas by the signal lights only 69 up gmc trucks had.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
I got my stuff back from the 3d printing place today. He made me a whole bunch of washers for the cab to fender seals and my fog light and ignition plaquard. Turned out pretty cool.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Here's how it will look in the dash with the ignition and lettering lit up.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
That’s a cool feature. Very Cadillac-esque from that era.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Very cool build man, I just read the entire thing.
The fact that you have so much in there as far as old parts go is pretty wild. Excited to see it as a finished truck.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
OK so I had some free time today and I've been thinking about this for a while.. the mirror bses had a hole in each one that is where the cables ran in on the car they were for but now they were unused. So I made little lenses for them and ran an led bulb that matched the color of the door lick ring and made a puddle light. It's kind of overkill buti had to fill these holes anyway. They will come on with the lock lights for 30 seconds when the door handles , in or out, move.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Those on/off pieces are pretty neat. I'll be checking out the first 28 of your build soon.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Thanks guys . I was concerned that this might be to modern for this build but after humming and hawing I decided that as long as you can't blatenly see these in the mirror arms I'd do it. I can't make them work with the power locks like modern vehicles as they are vacuum operated but still should work nicely.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
I have no problem with modern add ons for these trucks just trying to keep this build all 60s-70s appearing.
