Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I decided to keep my old style cartridge oil filter. Today i made a drain for it so it isn't always full when i take the canister off getting oil everywhere. this is what i came up with. hardly noticeable. just a bolt threaded into the main bolt with a hole drilled into the inside of the canister.I tested it and it drained the canister full of oil in 8 minutes. My dad said he would throw that thing away and use a spin on. I have never had one of these so i hope this will make the oil changes cleaner.

great job man, as said already the details make it pop !

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I decided i liked the 67 impala steering wheel better than the original truck one but wanted to keep the original cst horn button so heres what i came up with. best of both worlds and everything is still functional as it should be!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Here is the finished product. first one with the caprice emblem and 2 with the GMC emblem. I didn't get the button 100% centered in the ring but close. I am not sure if i am going to try it one more time or just be happy with this one. guess ill see. Now i just have to get the plastic wheel repaired.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

got the rest of my leaf springs in primer and paint. Now just waiting for the spring liners to come and i can put the diff in!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build

got my diff in today and all my suspension and brakes on. Just need to get my axles back from getting the bearings pressed on, slide them in and fill up the oil and my chassis is complete. then on to the bodywork and drivetrain.

a few pictures of my progress over the last few days. I Used a 64 buick glove box lamp instead of the dealer one that they used in these trucks. with a/c the dealer one is almost useless.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I also added a map light mirror from a 69 chevy.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

That is going to be one sweet truck!!!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

a few of the shoulder belt. I thought the belts would be way too orange but turns out I like them.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Hermosa! muy buena!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

WOW! I am impressed. First class man. This will be unreal when its finished. Great work.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

How did you I stall these shut off flaps? I recently bought the vent assembly from a 65 Buick wildcat and they use the same thing that you used from the 66 Buick but I can't seem to figure out how to take the flaps out of them to put them into the 67-72 vents..

interior is looking great !

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

The '67 only combo of a solid red interior on a black truck is absolutely my favorite color of all time on these trucks. I love the direction you are going with this truck! :metal:

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I will take some detailed pictures for you next week.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

Outstanding build! I love the color combo!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

hope these help you out.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
 

I decided to texture my gm delete plate as well. not sure how it was factory as mine was all wore off. Dupli-color bed liner in a spray bomb is pretty much a perfect match to the original gm bezel if anyone wants to do this to their glove box and delete plate.
