Re: 67 GMC super custom build
one more. The door latch on the inside of the door just clears so opening and closing the door is not affected either.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
I am thinking about adding a clock but not in the cluster. Tell me what you guys think about this. I want to take a 65 clock (because it has the same color lettering as the trucks gauges) and work it into the center of the dash pad kind of facing the driver . like in the pic below . What do you guys think?

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
well I ordered a power brake pedal from a member on the board but really wanted to keep my chrome around the pedal. decided this is what I was going to do and here is the final result. its not 100% perfect but down there it will look good I think.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
got my new vent windows from Roger Koop today with no latches. They should work nicely with the power vent windows. also got my a-1 electric power window kit. Now I can start wiring it all together in the doors.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
I kind of like this mounted just like it is on top of the dash pad. What do you guys think? would you paint it black or the color of the dash pad? Or not do it at all? Looking for opinions. Molding it into the pad will be way too much work so I decided to rule that out.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
I got the accessory compass for 67 today in the mail from member 60-66. I have been looking for one of these for a long time.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Today I finally finished up my power vent windows so my next problem was my power windows. I had already wired my 67 with a harness that used standard motors and stock style 3 way switch. I bought the kit from A1 electric (and its awesome) but it uses reverse polarity motors. I was stuck on this as I did not want to run relays and such as I am trying to keep it looking period correct and keeping the stock metal switches was a must. a Kit from Watson street works. http://www.watsons-streetworks.com/i...DF/L07W-25.pdf. it lets you use a 3 way switch and reverse polarity motors. Now my window woes are over!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
today I put the pad on the truck with the clock to see what it would look like. The pad will be the red color of the other pad when complete if I decide to go ahead with it.
