Re: 67 GMC makes Great 8 at Detroit

Not my cup of tea but I can appreciate the level of work that went into it. I am not a fan of the stacked gauges but someone spent a lot of time on this thing. What is going on in the bed? I can't tell if it is a removable cover or plexiglass or what.

Re: 67 GMC makes Great 8 at Detroit

Any pics of the forward hood set up? And the extended hood over the cowl ? I've got the Buick hinge but always interested in how others tackle that mod .

Workmanship is A+.
Would I have it no I tend to drive mine every week. I bet that truck hasn't been drove at all. I love checking these trucks out but in reality I wouldn't want one.

It looks like it's hinged to come up to show the drive line and frame. Look at back of the truck in the bed looks like a rod holding it up.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Re: 67 GMC makes Great 8 at Detroit

I was at that show and was a little disappointed, only two 67-72 pickups in the entire show. On the plus side there was four blazers there.

I second that.

Are there any non drivers on the forums? I see a lot of really clean trucks aka TOTM's but most of them are parked somewhere in a field or whatever, anything but inside a showroom.
