Getting my tires mounted today

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Nice T3's and bias ply's ya got there!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Along with the wheels I got the rest of my small parts powder coated. All that's left are my inner fenders and rad support to powder. I want to fit them 1 more time before I do it. My chassis is now complete.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Hey, I recognize those sway bars... ;) Looking good!

I missed the thread on what you did to your inner fenders. Did you have someone straighten them out or were they already that nice?

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Yup those are the bars I got from you! The passenger side inner was Nos but had a few dents. The driver was the original but had some minor rust issues. Didn't want any filler so I could powdercoat them so James (nuke1) made em all perdy and shiny!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Starting to reassemble the steering column

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

The 1 1/4" ton front sway bar v's original 1967 7/8" bar. It's Double the size. The big one is going in!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Rear tire difference. Same size rims.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Got my rotors back from powdercoat today. They took longer cause I had to wait till they had enough stuff to do in silver high heat powder. I'll have them turned when I get to the point where brakes need to be functional.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Nice

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Got the rest of my zinc plating done. Some of the brake parts weren't colored to the theme of the chassis so I had the rest of it finished up. Now I can assemble a ton of stuff. Got the original door hinges done. No paint. All done in zinc.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

When you start putting your truck together it'll be like assembling a new one.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Yep. Can't wait till that starts. Dang bodywork standing in the way lol

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Got the tilt telescopic column completed. If you didn't know you would think it could have been factory.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I got my washer bottle finished up tonight. I riveted a terminal to the bottom of the bottle and a rod thru the top. When there is water in it and it is above the metal rod the light will stay off. When the water level is below the metal rod the light will turn on letting me know the fluid is low. The fluid itself completes the ground circuit. The terminal on the bottom goes to the washer pump ground so the light will only come on when the washer is pumping.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I like the washer fluid low-level indicator setup. What kind of circuit are you using to turn the indicator light on? Got a schematic?

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Is that a factory deal??? Just wondering, I have not heard of such. Where is the indicator light?

I like that setup. The mickey mouse pump situation on the motor is a pain.........

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

It's actually a 71 to 74 gm coolant level accessory. I just adapted it to washer fluid and made the light work next to the wiper wording on the gauge bezel. Gm Part # 364002. The pump is from a 75 Vette. They are common on ebay and relatively Inexpensive swap.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

The radio is now completed as well. Had the face re-chromed and all the buttons re-chromed as well. New truck style lens. I also sent it back to Greg at electro tech and had him install a auxiliary from the back of the radio so I can play my phone. I'll prob run a cable to my console when I get that far. I am super happy with how this turned out. I would recommend electro tech for all your radio needs. Greg is great to work with. I used his speakers as well. Here is a video as well of it all working together.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Nice setup!!!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Awesome!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Rear sway bar finished! And cleaning up the front disc brakes as well.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Picked up this spare tire lock for my spare I'd I mount it in the bed instead of underneath. I think I could use it for a underneath one as well if I got creative.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Here is how the spare tire lock looks installed.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

That is a very cool touch:clap: Keep up the good work uncle!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Looks like it belongs

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

What kind of paint did you use for that steering wheel center cap? Looks great!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Your attention to detail is amazing. I LOVE the wheel/tire setup. I can't wait to see this thing completed.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Looking great!!!!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I used the same paint the body shop used on my interior. Jut mix it all together and used a syringe to apply while it's laying flat. It turned out nicer than I thought.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I picked up this original gm locking gas cap and am going to add it to my truck. I bought a repo one first and it didn't line up straight. Now I'm scared that when I buy a new tank from spectra that the cap won't be square when on all the way.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Got 2 Nos floor mats for my 67 and sold one and keeping the other for this build. These fit nice in trucks with the low hump. The only thing that bugs me about these is I wish they made them with "GM" on them instead of a bowtie. The only bowtie that will be on the truck. This one has some wrinkles in it from being packaged poorly in the original box but the other one I have is nice and smooth. They match the vinyl on the inner seat and dash pad perfect too!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I have a pair of 4" fog lamps from a 1957 cadillac. They are perfect for the front bumper on my truck. I'm going to use a pull switch where the choke delete plate goes. Here is the switch used and picture of the lights. I used a cadillac switch bezel so it will look the same as my headlight and wiper bezels. Now to make holes in the bumper.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I'm going to take this piece and see if I can have it duplicated with the words FOG on it.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

That looks pretty slick!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I got a neutral safety switch from a 1966 cadillac with the vacuum ports on the back. This will run directly from engine vacuum and only let's vacuum Thru in the drive gears. This will trigger a electric vacuum switch that will only let power to the fog lights in the drive gears. I also am going to power the pull switch from the headlight switch so the fog lights can only be activated when the headlight switch is in park or headlight positions and the engine must be running. All my lights will be run off relays now. That's the one unera mod I'm doing because the headlights are much brighter and takes the load off the switch.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I won't even have to get power from the headlight switch. I got a switch with vacuum ports on it and when you pull it out vacuum can pass thru. I'll just put this switch before the neutral vacuum switch. When the lights are on vacuum will pas to the neutral safety switch. When it's in gear vacuum will pass to the electrical switch where power will turn on the lights.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Hey, Rod, that vacuum switch will do something else..... the fog lights will turn off when you put your foot into it to pass another vehicle at night. :lol:

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Yeah I am trying to find a check valve so it will keep vacuum when it drops or use vacuum from the canister. The nss will loose vacuum though when taken out of gear. Still working on it. Or Maby I'm just over thinking this and will just operate it with the switch.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

What do you think guys. Closer in to the guards or farther to the outer part of the bumper?
