I decided to keep my old style cartridge oil filter. Today i made a drain for it so it isn't always full when i take the canister off getting oil everywhere. this is what i came up with. hardly noticeable. just a bolt threaded into the main bolt with a hole drilled into the inside of the canister.I tested it and it drained the canister full of oil in 8 minutes. My dad said he would throw that thing away and use a spin on. I have never had one of these so i hope this will make the oil changes cleaner.

I decided i liked the 67 impala steering wheel better than the original truck one but wanted to keep the original cst horn button so heres what i came up with. best of both worlds and everything is still functional as it should be!

Here is the finished product. first one with the caprice emblem and 2 with the GMC emblem. I didn't get the button 100% centered in the ring but close. I am not sure if i am going to try it one more time or just be happy with this one. guess ill see. Now i just have to get the plastic wheel repaired.

Thanks mcbassin. Here are pictures of the cab. I did the dash top and defrost vents the same color as the pad just as the factory did.

a few pictures of my progress over the last few days. I Used a 64 buick glove box lamp instead of the dealer one that they used in these trucks. with a/c the dealer one is almost useless.

a few of the shoulder belt. I thought the belts would be way too orange but turns out I like them.

When i took them apart i realised that they have baffles to turn down/off the single vent so i crafted those into my original vents. what do you think?

How did you I stall these shut off flaps? I recently bought the vent assembly from a 65 Buick wildcat and they use the same thing that you used from the 66 Buick but I can't seem to figure out how to take the flaps out of them to put them into the 67-72 vents..

The '67 only combo of a solid red interior on a black truck is absolutely my favorite color of all time on these trucks. I love the direction you are going with this truck! :metal:

I decided to texture my gm delete plate as well. not sure how it was factory as mine was all wore off. Dupli-color bed liner in a spray bomb is pretty much a perfect match to the original gm bezel if anyone wants to do this to their glove box and delete plate.
