took a few weeks but got everything done on my a/c box. just have to put the evap core in. I added a pressure switch to help save the compressor if needed. I welded a piece in to look like it came factory with it. the metal pieces got powder coated and the fiberglass i clear coated after a thorough wash. the inside pieces i painted black as the preious owner had gotten overspray all over them.

**chewychevy67** · 07-08-2012, 04:08 PM

more a/c pic's. also took the original fan apart and serviced it. for an old fan it sure has a lot of brush left. back when things were made to last i guess.

Tinkermc · 07-08-2012, 09:38 PM

lookin good

**chewychevy67** · 07-10-2012, 06:38 PM

i got a SPID question for you guys. im gettin ready to get chipflyer to make me a spid for my 67. i have added 68-72 truck option to this truck such as cruise, tilt cargo lamp ect. that were only available in the trucks after 67. i will be putting those on my spid i think. now the power windows were not available on trucks (only thing added to the truck that was not avalilable in any 67-72 trucks) till the next body style. would you put them on the spid or would you leave them out.

67chevy1series · 07-10-2012, 06:50 PM

i would leave them out..... but if it bothered me that they arent on there then i would make a bs code for them and say "POWER WNDWS EQ" or something like that to make it seem real.
.....just my 2 cents....

chipflyer · 07-10-2012, 07:16 PM

I think its great to add whatever option you want to the truck but I would leave the label original looking. Better to have someone look at the label in the future and think "man that thing had a lot of factory options" rather than "man look at that fake label with the cheesy options that someone made up" even though other things were added.
Just my opinion, but the label guy will put whatever you want on the label but it costs more for made up options.

Great build, good work!

**chewychevy67** · 07-10-2012, 07:16 PM

the cars could come with power windows in 67 and there code is A31 Electric Window CTRL.

thats the answer i was looking for. it may be cheesy.

**chewychevy67** · 07-10-2012, 07:38 PM

so would you just put the available 67 options it has then or add all the 67-72 options on the SPID.

duallyjams · 07-10-2012, 10:16 PM

Get 2 made one both ways that way when go to a show you can stick one in the windshield.

**chewychevy67** · 07-13-2012, 09:34 PM

i just might get one made both ways and decide when i have to put it on.

Lee H · 07-14-2012, 11:38 AM

Great build.

**chewychevy67** · 08-02-2012, 02:23 PM

got my plating back on Monday so i decided to start to assemble my powder coated parts. I completely rebuilt my manual steering gear and ram assist parts. got my fire extinguisher assembled as well. not sure if im going to try to charge it up or just keep it as is.

Tinkermc · 08-02-2012, 02:35 PM

I would add anything that I added or the truck came with

**chewychevy67** · 08-02-2012, 06:24 PM

Just got my restored seat belts and shoulder belts from ssnake oyl. they rewebbed and restored my original 67 gmc red shoulder belts. took a picture of them next to my chevy fawn set. very happy with there work. date tags are even dead on!!!!!

duallyjams · 08-03-2012, 08:26 AM

You rebuilt the manual box your self ?

**chewychevy67** · 08-03-2012, 10:09 AM

no i bought a rebuilt core and completely disassembled it so i could powder coat the housing to match the frame. then reassembled so technically i just assembled it but it is all new and refurbished parts.

**chewychevy67** · 08-16-2012, 02:20 PM

did some odifying to my a/c brackets today. first pic is of before and second is of after. needed to make some clearance for heater hoses and change a few of the mouning locations.

duallyjams · 08-16-2012, 05:12 PM

Looks like a different water pump & intake also.

**chewychevy67** · 08-16-2012, 06:20 PM

first pic was from the guy i bought the brackets from and his motor is a 350 with mounting holes in the head and my 327 doesn't have them. thats why i needed to modify.

Lee H · 08-16-2012, 06:22 PM

If I may ask, where did you get the shoulder harness boot with the dimple?
