I made a filler strip to cover the tracks and mount my seat switch to for the passenger seat. Here is how it looks. not sure if I should polish up the aluminum, Paint it or cover it with the same color vinyl as the seat. the cars always had a surround on the edges of the seat that was polished aluminum so I might go that route.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

the foam work on the bottom of those seats looks awfull. I may get the upholster guy to fix that when I bring them to get my seat heat pads in them.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

And the driver side.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Got my seat heaters going now just to get the pads in the seats. Work perfect with the old style metal under dash switches.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Picked this up today for a decent price to. Guide matic. It auto dims your headlights. Why not I guess. It is cadillac period correct as well

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I only skimmed the thread, but very cool build. My grandpa's '58 Caddy has auto dimming headlights and its pretty trick. Keep the pics coming.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Amazing work....subscribed

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Where did ya pick these up at? Thanks!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

On Ebay. I just took the round rocker switch out and added my own of vintage flavor.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Got pictures of my new horn center piece today. Telescopic wasn't available in anything gmc so I traded the bow tie out. One with raised letters and one with engraved letters. They look sharp.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I got the guide matic dial and reostat mounted. The back dial is the guide matic and the front is twilight sentinel. I also got the dials a bit closer to the gauge bezel.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

GMC is the Cadillac of trucks yours will the be top of the line. If you make a window sticker with all the options that will be a big window sticker for sure.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I got my horn center pieces tonight for my telescopic wheel. They look absolutely amazing!!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

They both look amazing.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Thanks. I am super happy with these. Here is the full steering wheel.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Took the original wipers and put new blades in them. I didn't realises that they had stainless sleeves that hold the rubber in back then instead of plastic. Keeping these for sure.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Here are some pictures of the original gas tank carpet pieces. I just posted these for someone else so I figured I'd post it here for reference. The strap holding up the carpet is 1" wide, 67 1/4" long and 1/8" thick heavy cardboard. The smaller cardboard backed piece goes around the jack and the larger piece covers the tank. 13 screws mount the rug to the cab and 3 more for the buddy seat brace. Rug still has original manufacturer tag on it as well.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I took out the moulding around My rear view mirror and painted it the same color as my dash pad and inner seat pleats. I took the glass out so when you look into the glass the inner lip is red too. I might paint the light bezel too.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Here is how it looks mounted to the mirror arm.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I bought another oil bath air filter so now I have 2. I am going to keep the one I restored an oil bath cleaner and I am going to convert this one to use a paper filter. That way I have a OE filter and I can still keep that look when driving around with the paper filter piece.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Any thoughts on blue with red interior.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Definitely a killer color of blue! Not sure you can go wrong with any color with the red interior, other than maybe green.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

silver, black or white look good with red

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Yeah I think I'll stick with black. Some liked it and some didn't .

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

killer build!!! Just read the whole thing from cover to cover. Aweaome work and options!!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Here is a photo of the heated seat switches. These will look nice.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Love all the details and extras you're adding. Going to be a really cool truck, fun to show people all the extra options, and will be comfortable for you to drive.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Thanks. I am having fun with this truck. I love making all these options look somewhat factory and not like add-ons. I painted in the letters this morning. They turned out awesome! !

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Switches all together with the wiring!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I separated the lid and mesh retainer today. I am going to make a drop in piece for the base of the air cleaner so it can be used both as an oil bath and a filter cartridge. I will keep both tops. The restored one will remain an oil bath top and on this one I am going to weld a piece inside that works with the original A86CW cartridge..

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Got my nos Door skins this morning. Thanks to "in the ten ring". He was a great help in getting these to me here in Canada from West Virginia.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Well got all the parts today for the cab rebuild again😠. It will be a while before this gets done but now I have all the pieces. This time we'll get it right. Not using the same body shop. That was a bad mistake.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

This too!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Very nice metal parts!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Where did you get the firewall/toe panel from?

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

My body guy got these for me. I'm not sure from where but here is a picture of the box label. I believe it's tri plus. What I was told anyway.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Did some work on my air cleaner. I cut a section out of the base of the paper element air cleaner the same size as the oil bath adapter. I am going to make this removable too so this base could be used with either the paper filter plate or the oil bath plate.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Got the gmc logo thermometer face. Can't believe how accurate this is. I wonder if it reads the same when your driving?

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Mounted the sensor for the guidematic behind the grill.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Got the seat heat switches finished up tonight.
