Re: 67 GMC super custom build
So I used a different reflector back with my t3 headlights and wow what a difference. These now have a very noticeable beam pattern cut off on low beam and high beam. Truck is 6 feet away from the cardboard and not 100% adjusted. I looked into the retrobright bulbs but I did not like the look of the plastic lenses. All my newer vehicles have yellowed. Here's a Picture with the low beams and 1 with fog and low beams. Lighting Pictures never show up well for some reason but here's the best my phone will do.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Looks decent from here!
Ya know my 2012 silverado headlamps have always been a little high. I get flashed a lot without the high beams even being on. I finally got the manual out to see about how to adjust them (I couldn’t figure out how on my own). The manual says to call your dealer. Omg! Seriously!?! So I had them adjust them. Made me appreciate how awesome these old pickups are.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Yeah these trucks were made for service in the field need be. Modern vehicle mechanic repairs need to be hauled into the shop for a lot of things. That takes the fun out of them.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Next on my list was my horns. They weren't working so I took them apart and cleaned them up. Now they work as they should. I'll have to get them painted yet. I may see if there is anyone who makes the stock style rivits so you can't tell they were opened.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Got my hood hinges back from willie Today. The look nice. An original phosphate look with silver springs for detail and all the rivets were replaced.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Did u ask for same coating as mine cause mine were all the dark color. Mine been on 7/8 years now and still work like new. If the back of your hood along the cowl is popping up and wont stay down send your hinges to Willie.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
I got the same as yours but I requested the springs be silver.
