'Awesome'? 'Ford'? My good sir, I must protest.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Yeah I know. But ford used the exact same speed sensors in 1969-73 for their cruise control as gear vendors does so the bracket was taylor made for that sensor and looks completely like it should be there. I know it's still a Ford part. At least it doesn't have a fomoco part number stamped into it. I would have had to fill it over.

You may save your rationalizations. A straw fits perfectly in my nose, but as a method for drinking, it leaves much to be desired. You have gone too far this time my friend. This is MADNESS!!!! MADNESS I SAY!!!!:m6:

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

If there's one thing I hate it's having metric bolts on my 67. My new ac compressor came with metric threads for the front bolts. I tapped them to sae threads. I'll be putting the original style decal on to cover these when it's completed.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Got my new engine drive belts. They are just as the originals were cloth wrapped and stamped with the gm part numbers.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Now that's what I'm talking about! Looking good.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I didn't even know these existed till you posted them on your build. It's a nice touch for a fresh engine

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Although I love my original hub caps and radial tire look (which I'll never sell) I purchased a set of these with the blank small 67 center caps. I'm going to have my cnc guy make me a gmc center to mount in the smooth part of the center cap. They do make the tall centers now with the words " general motors corporation" but I'm not sure I like the tall cap look. Just don't want a bowtie on my gmc

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

That will look pretty awesome!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Got me some Nos rockers locally!

Dyn-o-mite!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

It's goona be slow for a bit here now. Petty much all that's left is the metal and paint but nuke1 closed up shop so I'm looking for a new "quality" shop to do the work. I don't want to waste all my Nos pieces on an amateur again.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I picked up one last option to put on the 67 before metal work starts. It is the hd air cleaner. It requires I change my air cleaner. I may try to adapt the snorkel into my existing one but we'll see. I'm just missing the hose that goes from the air cleaner to the pre-cleaner if anyone has one to sell. Also picked up a gm tissue/litter container. I'll be matching it to the interior color.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I got the pre cleaner yesterday. It has a flap in the inlet that is operated by a spring. When not moving it must suck air from the engine bay and when your driving the air forces the door with the spring down and closes off the air inlet to the engine bay. I wonder if I could get this decal off without ruining it?

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Heat to the backside and then a razorblade underneath. I've removed stickers like that. Takes a while. Something else that can help if the sticker isn't paper, is goo-gone. That stuff under the sticker will take the sticky off like butter.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Ok I will try that possibly on a decal on another cleaner first. Have you successfully reused one after removing it?

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Yes if it's not paper ;)

You can use the same glue for headliner to make it stick and not be permanent. Or if it goes somewhere where it will get wet, make sure to use something water resistant.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Not that I really want to get another decal project going, but I'm happy to help if it doesn't come off cleanly. You know I like this project.

Take careful measurements before you attempt removal...that's always helpful. If there is not a good reproduction version currently available, it shouldn't be a particularly difficult one to do (if you want).

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

If I can't get it off I would like to have another made. I will take good measurements just in case. Probably do it on the weekend coming up

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I've got your back. Even if it tears, take your time and get as much as you can in the best condition possible. Even pieces make it easier to remake.

EDIT: After a quick internet search I found a lot of these decals, just no 6420553s.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Yeah I couldn't find the correct part number either
I'll keep you posted if this comes off clean or not

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Got it off unharmed!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

You're a surgeon. Well done.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Well it's all about the details around here. I finally found the correct cast iron pulley for the 67 air injection. I've seen 2 factory smog 327 trucks and they both had the cast iron pulley. Last pic is the only photo I have of an original still on a truck.
