Not my 67 but I thought I'd share my latest acquisition. 2001 chevy 2500hd 8.1l and Allison transmission loaded. I drove this home 700 kilometers and I absolutely love it. Can't wait to tow with it!

Test fit my wood bed today. Turned out great. Won't tighten it down till its all done.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Looks amazing!

Had some work done to my firewall. This time it won't be full of body filler. I had the the area around the dimmer switch recesses further down so the auto dimming headlight harness can sit low under the rug and I had an area recessed for the radio foot controller and its harness so it looks like it was there stock. I also had a harness connector added above the speedometer hole to make clean work of Connecting the added accessories I am using. Last one is my thermometer with the gm decal on it.

Got these 2 pieces today from a 57 cadillac. Going to see how I can get the fog light circles into the truck bumper.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

You aren't going to run 4 Fog Lites are you?

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

No. Only one on each side. 57 cadillac had 2 fog lights and 2 signal lights. I am only using the fog.

I had these parts removed from a 1967 Buick 400 transmission and I am going to add the. To my th400. These are the pieces required to allow your th400 to change the stall speed of your converter with 12 volts. Gm used this in 65 to 67 Buick old and cadillac 400 transmissions and can be adapted to chevy 400s with 8 bolt cases. It's pretty neat. I got my gear vendor unit as well so I can finish the transmission now.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

And the gear vendors

I got member tbone1964 to calibrate my 4k cable driven tach into a 5k tach and added a tach drive distributer to my engine. Wow did tbone1964 do an amazing job. SUPER HAPPY. With the ti ignition from the 60s I wanted my tach to be somewhat accurate and I don't believe that ti ever used an electric tach on Camaros it came in.

That looks so cool!!!! Old school period correct.

sweet!!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I have been playing around with swaping my Vacuum gauge for a transmission oil temperature gauge. I got this oil temp gauge from a 1980 corvette and I took an extra gauge face I had and painted how I would like it to look. With the switch pitch converter I've been told the transmission will make more heat. Nothing to be worried about but I would rather this gauge than a vacuum gauge I think. Would be more beneficial if I ever tow. I would put the words "TRANS" on the lens.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Well I decided I wanted to keep the vacuum gauge and I wanted a transmission temp gauge so I am getting creative. I know on the 73 87 trucks you can get a tack and fuel gauge in the large right gauge so I thought I can do that too. I also didn't want to see the full needle so it would look proper like the smaller lower needles and I didn't want to mess around my printed circuit. So after lots of thought I came up with this. I am going to have my fuel gauge face reprinted so it all looks smooth but I'm pretty sure I can make this look good. Plus I don't have to mess with my brake/temp emergency lights either. I'm sure. I'll keep playing with it on my spare gauge cluster till I decide if I will do it to my main one.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Nice work as always Chewy!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Are the variable pitch parts for the TH400 available for sale ?

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

No I want to install them in my transmission. I do have another set of wiring which includes the carb switch and dash pot but that's all I have available.

Getting my gmc script valve covers started! The ones they should have made from the factory

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Those covers are so rad! Love it

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

What did you get the GMC script from for those valve covers? Looks killer!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

They are from gmc v6 valve covers

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

So you had to sacrifice a pair of v6 valve covers?

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I did. They sat in my shed for 2 years. I was going to sell them instead but I really thought this would be the finishing touch on my engine. So I cut them out. At least it worked out.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Would like to see and hear details of your welding to the valve covers, Thanks!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I never welded them. I had a shop do it. I don't have a tig welder or the skills for something this delicate. I'll post pictures when I get them back.
