I also cut the hole into the cowl for the cold air piece just like the factory did it. First pics are from the truck that this set up came off of factory.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

That's is cool. I have never seen that option. Have you got a picture of it all together . :metal:

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Here's what it looks like. This is mocked up on my truck. The hoses are not original. The air cleaner is not correct I this photo. The bottom one has it In it

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

That is a sweet setup, it may be the answer for my TPI set up, what is it from, I will have start looking for one

Ps, I always follow your thread, just don't post up

Great build

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

The air cleaner setup is a option from 63 to 68 possibly 69 gm trucks. Rpo K46. Was probably mostly found on larger trucks but was available on all of them except tilt cab I believe

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Rod...c'mon....you are killing me. That is ridiculous AND AWESOME. Where are you coming up with this stuff?!! I keep thinking you have got to be done with mods...but nope. BAM!! Hit em again.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I'm all out of mods now. Cab goes for metal work in May so that is the beginning of the end. Then assembly!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I bought these clips from 60s car and routed my washer hose inside the cowl. They mount with the screws that mount the wire gutter so you won't notice this too much. Also my washer pump is now engine bay mounted so the hose will travel under the fender lip and go into the cowl on the lower right side.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

These are available in steel. I have a hand tool and a pneumatic tool for installing them.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Those nut rivets are awesome. I’ve used a few on my truck and several on the Jeep.
I have the Cornwell tool for install. It works well, you can use a drill or a hex driver.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Well I decided that I didn't really like the oak all that much. It's very common and it wasn't the finished look I was looking for. So today I got my new wood. Curly maple. A little more design to it. So it is still raw. I am going to attempt on the scraps I have to stain it charcoal grey like the picture below. Should pop nice with the stainless straps.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Love that Curly Maple, but damn that stuff can be expensive, but oh so worth it. Nice job sir!!!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I had jason do my curly maple boards and it was nice cause he Is local to me and saved some shipping . We had a mix up on the boards that the frame bolts go thru and he milled the holes quite a bit larger than they are supposed to be...... but he remade those 2 boards for me with no fuss and was great to deal with so if your in need of bed wood in the north this guy is a good resource to look at. https://www.hindsightbedwood.ca/

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Very nice! Can't wait to see the wood finished.:thumbs:

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

My cab repair started today! Hope I have a better experience this time from the last time. I did my homework this time and waited in a long line of ppl who all recommended him so I feel much better about this time. He says in a couple week he should have it completed and then it will get sealed. I'm so excited. I'll post pics of it if I can get him to send them to me.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Who did you go with this time?

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I got Todd from crusin metal to do it.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Is that out of province?

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

No. He used to be in warman but He built a shop on his acerage between Martensville and saskatoon. He only does vintage vehicles. Lots of the vehicles at the draggons he Has done. Threefourty-six in warman will be painting it.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Awesome. Sounds like a way better deal than the last go round

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

A friend sent me a link to a truck very similar to how mine will look when complete. I thought I would share them.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Are you going stock suspension or moderately lowered?

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I'm going stock height. This makes me want to lower it but that part is complete and I'm not going backwards. Maby after it's completed.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Looks awesome 👌

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Well I haven't done anything on my truck in months as I'm waiting for the return of my cab from the metal shop but I have been accumulating some parts for things I need to do this winter to get ready for the cab. Today I purchased 4 of these positioning dollys cause I got tired of rolling it around the garage. This is so nice. Feels like instantly added more space to the shop.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

What brand are those and where did you buy them?

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

They are motomaster from Canadian tire. Down in thee you won't have that store or brand probably. They are very similar to many other models. I like these because they are mechanical , no hydraulics.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I did a search on the CT web site and the only dollies that came up were these: #009-0099-8 where the vehicle has to be jacked up to get the dolly under the tire.
What's the SKU # for the ones you bought?

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

These were the ones I purchased. They were the last 4 in Saskatoon yesterday. https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/m...w.ds#store=912

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Thanks. There are 2 pair left in my local store.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I’ll search down here. I have seen a lot of dollies, but I like the minimalist approach they took on these. It looks like the moving part is just to set the width, right? Plus, since you’ve already put a C10 on them and they work, I don’t have to be concerned with that. I was unsure if they wouldn’t “spread” with a heavier vehicle.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Correct . It moves apart to slide around the tire and then jacks together to lift the tire. They work so smooth and bind free. It's nice to be able to move the truck by myself

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I had these done for inserts for the 67 style derby caps. Turned out nice I think.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Those look awesome!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

So cool.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Nice :thumbs:

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Metal guy started the cab this week! Floor is out and bottom stuff is getting started

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Those are just too cool, where would I look for a set

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

You can get those decals here. https://www.ebay.com/itm/37366367204...53.m2749.l2648

They don't require any trimming and the profile is pretty much right on. And they are aluminum not plastic!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Got some photos from my metal guy on the progress. I'm getting excited now.
