Very nice Rod - thanks for posting

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Looks brand new..

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Got this rear sway bar I am going to use on the truck.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

what is the sway bar off of?

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I bought it off a member that had it on a 68 C20 with leaf springs but I am unsure what it originally came off of. Here are all the pictures I have of it. I recently found out it is from an square body dual rear tire 1 ton truck.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Finished up.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

so where is the 67 impala steering wheel now that you have the custom one ?

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I sold it on ebay. I tried to sell it on here for 3.5 months and nobody wanted it. After I sold it on ebay quite a few members PMed me about it. Funny how that happens sometimes

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Well I bought my tires for the stock rims I'm going to have for show with my full Wheel covers. There are 5 new bias ply 855-15 b/f tires. One even for the spare. Just like original in the factory photos.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Man do I love a tidy full restoration build. Great work so far and that steering wheel is off the hook!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I do like the wheel to. One of my personal favorite pieces. I didn't like the way the brake pedal looked cause the circle around the disc brake plate wasn't crisp so I purchased a 1 1/2" chassis punch and that worked much nicer and a cleaner cut. I also cut the center bar and Tucked it under the plate to clean it up as well.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I have been thinking what my options are once I do my disc brake swap. The wheels will stick out 3" wider in the front (1.5" on each side) and I don't like that look and I'm keeping the stock gm 15 x 6 wheels. I did some research. You can reverse the centers on the wheels to give you a deeper frontspace. The wheels now have a 3.5" backspace so I found out if you reverse the centers the minimum backspacing you can have is 2" so that is perfect making the wheels stick out 1.5" more than they do now. Perfect. I won't use wheel spacers on this build. You will never know the rears are deeper with the full Wheel covers on. Pictures just show what I'm trying to say. Not my exact wheels.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

brake pedal turned out great, nice work.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Thank you. That reversing may still not work as I don't have a good place to put the valve stem where it will stick out of the wheel cover. It will be way inside the rim on the bevel..... Here is the answer for that Maby...

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I machined my billet smoothies to have the valve stem on the inside to avoid the constant heat attack from the beating sun at car shows, it's a pain occasionally but a nicely set bead will take care of any constant checking

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Starting to figure out the rear sway bar.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Tailgate lock. Just playin. Had a gate stolen once and ever since I have been thinking about doing this. Not sure about this. Didn't want to break up the lines on the gate so it had to be hidden by the moulding. It keyed to match my 67 already if I use it.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Installed.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

If you could flush mount it no one would even know.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

If they would have casted the moulding solid instead of hollow that could have been done. I got it as absolutely low as I could. The other option I had was to put a door lock overtop of the handle but that would disturb the clean lines of the rear of the truck. .

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Got my rear 15" x 6" rims back from the shop. Reversed the centers. Now the wheel track will be the same front and rear.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I like it. Very nice!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I decided to use ssbc's disc brake kit A126-71. Here is how it installs. Uses the drum brake spindles and hubs. It's not bolted up tight here but this only took me 30 min per side to disassemble and reassemble. No rusty bolts though. That helps time.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

More... Going g to see if I can use a 67 69 car dust shield work with this kit.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I added a low washer fluid system. The light is right beside the knob. It will only come on when you are using the wipers or washers if the jar is low.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I am going to adapt wet arm wipers instead of in the cowl.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Got my converted oil bath air cleaner back today. Should work nice. Here are both oil and cartridge converted side by side. You will never know till you open it up.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Got these back too. Ready for powdercoat. No filler!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Those are nice!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I bought this Nos gm pickup box hand rail kit for my truck a while ago. Really not sure if these fit in on this build but they are era pieces and figured they are neat and rare to have even if I don't use them. May never find a Nos set again.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Got the steering g column painted yesterday. Was going to assemble next week but just realised I never ordered new column seals so I ordered some this morning on ebay. More time for paint to cure I guess.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Column looks great. I'm looking very forward to seeing your truck completed.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Picked the rails up Friday and just sat them on the bedside to see how they look.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Interested on how you'll do the wet wipers. Your coming along nicely.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I think those bed rails actually fit your truck pretty good!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Working on getting my 67 70 chevelle dust shields to work with the disc brakes.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I painted the horn center so you can see the gmc lettering easier.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Steering wheel button looks great!!!! Glad we could help you out with the metal work for the air cleaner and the wheelhouses.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

After I installed the signal seeking radio the washer pump was really tight in there ( as if they weren't with any radio and ac dash) and being how poorly they worked anyway I decided to make room and add a 1975 Vette washer pump. Much nicer and looks era. It will also constantly pump when the button is depressed as opposed to 12 intermittent sprays.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

On of the 1st things I bought for the truck a long time ago and found them today. New repo style T3 headlights. Not sure if they still make these anymore.
