Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

got my plating back on Monday so i decided to start to assemble my powder coated parts. I completely rebuilt my manual steering gear and ram assist parts. got my fire extinguisher assembled as well. not sure if im going to try to charge it up or just keep it as is.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I would add anything that I added or the truck came with

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Just got my restored seat belts and shoulder belts from ssnake oyl. they rewebbed and restored my original 67 gmc red shoulder belts. took a picture of them next to my chevy fawn set. very happy with there work. date tags are even dead on!!!!!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

You rebuilt the manual box your self ?

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

no i bought a rebuilt core and completely disassembled it so i could powder coat the housing to match the frame. then reassembled so technically i just assembled it but it is all new and refurbished parts.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

did some odifying to my a/c brackets today. first pic is of before and second is of after. needed to make some clearance for heater hoses and change a few of the mouning locations.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Looks like a different water pump & intake also.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

first pic was from the guy i bought the brackets from and his motor is a 350 with mounting holes in the head and my 327 doesn't have them. thats why i needed to modify.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

If I may ask, where did you get the shoulder harness boot with the dimple?

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

a little modifying the rear compressor mount this morning as well. now off to the powdercoaters . all my engine mounts are now complete. on to getting the chassis apart so it can be powdered.,

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Very detailed build I like it..

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

lookin good

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

got my chassis totaly apart yesterday. I hope to have this powdercoated within the next month. the front end is already coated so it will just be the frame, diff and some other small odds and ends and then i can reasemble!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

lookin good buddy! this truck will be the best 67 gmc on the board

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

prudy work

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Nice work...detail is everything...!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Got my extinguisher mount and the inside of my ashtray back from being nickel plated. heres the finish product on the extinguisher and mount. I even got a nos charge up kit for it. will probably have to get it checked out if i choose to charge it. pics for your enjoyment.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I removed the cab corners and rockers yesterday. Then body shop i used must have lined these up without the doors on cause they were a country mile out. good thing the new floor went in good. anyway i am unsure if i am going to try this or have another shop look at it. kind of discouraged. well see what the cost is to redo these and that will determine it.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Love this build...awesome work

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

well decided to get compfortable with the welder this weekend. The passenger rocker panel fit very nicely with only one incision needing to be made. The driver is a lot worse of a fit. Needed some surgery. still not finished it. It is still a nicer gap and fit than the body shop made and the drivers door no longer rubs in the front. I think i will get a different shop to do the cab corners. if the rockers like up now surely a shop wont get the cab corners wrong again.....

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I got my 67 chevelle ss steering wheel today I am thinking about in my truck. What do you guys think. Its like a perfect home for my super custom horn button. the wheel will be red when all is said and done but the black sure does look sharp.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

great parts collection, this is going to be SWEET !

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I like the wheel a lot that would look great , I might have to steel that idea from ya.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

More great work!, sorry about the bad work for big $$$ on the cab. I love the steering wheel too, I thought about a early 60s Impala wheel because they are just so cool but the Chevelle wheel looks right for our trucks.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Got my diff and buddy seat parts powdered yesterday. Just the acutall frame left to get done but not sure if it will get done till next spring. I was thinkin about havin my rad support and inner fenders powdered too. anyone know if this is a good or bad idea?

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

few more

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

got my a arm shafts in and some assembly done last night!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Well as luck has it got my frame to powdercoat today. I now have everythng done now and can assemble the chassis. Got my drums this morning. I had these springs on the drums zinc plated as i believe they are original. what are they for? anyone know.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

i believe the srpings are to disapate heat... dont know if i spelled that right but supposably the heat transfers out of rht drum and into the spring and then the springs get cooled by air while driving. its kinda like the fins on some of the drums you buy from o'reilys and stuff.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

btw, parts look awesome! cant wait to see the rolling chassi all built

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

frame in wash bay and powdercoated!!!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Looks great!:metal:

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

My 56 Chevy had springs on the out side of the drums , I was told it was for damping.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

It is a shame to have to sand blast that frame again to power coat. Power coating needs bare metal to stick. If their is something I don't know please enlighten me please. anyway good luck.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Frame and all your parts look sweet. I bet you can't wait till it is a rolling chassic.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Really nice inspiration for me to jump into my build Thanks

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

looking very nice and clean. great detail work on the truck!

Member "LOC DOC" remade an original gm extinguisher tag for me and did an excellent job. He is the man to talk to if ou need a obsolete tag or decal made.
