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

Are you going stock suspension or moderately lowered?

chewychevy67 09-14-2021 07:24 PM

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.

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.

What brand are those and where did you buy them?

chewychevy67 11-19-2021 02:17 PM

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.

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?

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

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

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

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

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!

Needed some massaging at the front by the tunnel and on each end. That seems to be par for these floors.

Looking good!

I really like the keyless entry lock rings that light up but the fiber optic cables that led to them were very faint. Today I received the mini bulbs in the mail I hoped would rectify this and then would have no need for the optic cables here. Well here is the result. So much nicer and brighter!

Also removed the roof skin from the old roof. Mine has a large dent in it and my metal guy advised that it would be best to replace it.

That key entry lock Light,
Looks :ito: Super Cool:metal:
