Re: Project#2 67-72 Restoration's Shop truck
I just saw this one, very cool. I think it's my favorite of all your projects. I plan to be in Richmond the next 2 weekends if you need any misc parts. I've been lazy and haven't got rid of any 67 stuff yet.
Did you get a chance to check the ratio on that rear if you still have it?

Re: Project#2 67-72 Restoration's Shop truck
Still working on pics...but progress today consisted of: removing the clutch pedals, column, and intermediate shaft. Also got the gas tank re-installed and connected other than sending unit wire. Still have to bolt it down and put my NOS filler neck grommet on
![]() ![]() Got the repairs skim coated and will sand and paint tomorrow. Found a rattle can of gloss red paint on my shelf. Test sprayed a spot behind where the bed will be and sanded down witbh 2000 wet/dry (dry) and was pleasantly surprised by the closeness of the color match. Will help in areas I have to cut out sheetmetal...especially the cab corner and lower door on pass side. Drilled out and collapsed another intermediate shaft I had to use with the van tilt. Sprayed my new rag joint and the int. shaft and need to remember to paint one of my ps boxes tomorrow... also painted thepower brake booster brackets. Booster has been painted Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Project#2 67-72 Restoration's Shop truck
Here's a picture of the gas tank in place with the fuel line connected (I blew air through the lines first and they were surprisingly clean).
I wouldn't have painted the tank but it had some overspray on it and since my bench tilts forward...I wanted it to look good back there ![]() Posted via Mobile Device Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Project#2 67-72 Restoration's Shop truck
Nice job! Things are going quickly. I hope you have some more of those panels. The Old Man may need some of them!

Re: Project#2 67-72 Restoration's Shop truck
Thanks, I have a few more of the panels....fit isn't very good but I only use them sparingly and save the leftovers for small patches...
Especially with this being a patina truck I'm trying to cut out as little as possible... Out to work on it some more.... On the way home from Church I bought the rest of the fluids needed to fire up the engine..... that stuff adds up quick....priced it at auto zone and bought for around 20 cheaper at walmart...

Re: Project#2 67-72 Restoration's Shop truck
Thanks!
Thank you...a few things took longer than the last time I did them and had to repaint my steering wheel due to humidity and now I'm completely stripping it... Quote:

Re: Project#2 67-72 Restoration's Shop truck
Got the wiring harness in....forgot my 70 was floor shift so have to figure out the nss wiring. No cuts or splices on it though as I remembered and as mentioned...everything worked on my last truck using this harness...
Got the brake rod hooked up to the pedal....forgot I had to drop the column for that...doing things a little out of order as I rush...had to take the ebrake Got the driver's rocker repaired (patch cut and welded) and skim coat on it. Also re-skim coated the rear patch a final time. Got my gmc pauls weatherstrip installed on the passenger side...very nice! They do need extra force to shut the door but not absolutely slamming the door. Painted the frame of my bench seat so it'll have time to dry before it gets re-covered And installed my painted jack and the jack sticker... Better pictures tomorrow pending weather (supposed to rain) Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Project#2 67-72 Restoration's Shop truck
I looked and couldnt find any paint specialy formulated for steering wheels, im wondering if its just a matter of getting the surface rough enough so it isnt slicker than snot so the paint will bond to it, im guessing its a super tight pore plastic so the paint is having trouble adhering to it, but there has to be a product or combination of prep and product that will make it so that primer will stick.
