67 GMC super custom build

[chewychevy67]

Here are the sliders all cleaned and greased. Going to have to make shorter cables.

[chewychevy67]

Got the driver side sliders done tonight. I moved the pins so the seat can only go so far back and it won't hit the back wall of the cab.

[chewychevy67]

I had to change my motor location. If I mount it here the seat moves faster and the cables don't hack to bend.

[chewychevy67]

Here is how the bottom of the seat mounted looks. If you wanted to go back to the manual sliders this is completely reversable.

All tacked together

I may try to use my mosified cst horn button from my other wheel on my telescopic wheel. This may not be possible but it would look nice.

Black, red, and chrome is as good as it gets! Very cool truck!

[Hart_Rod]

Great progress! The truck looks outstanding!

[slowcpe]

Looking good! My vote would be all black.

Was just thinking of your running an auto you should run the 68-69 camero disc brake pedal that's wide with a trim ring to match

I thought about that when i consiidered discs but I decided not to run disc brakes.

I found someone with a 1967 Oldsmobile tilt-telescopic steering column. it has the 4 way flasher and no ignition in the column so I figured id try it on my column. I found out that you can simply remove the top from the tilt and simply use the top pieces from the tilt-telescopic and install. even the wiring harness just plugs in the same. The only mod is the light for the gear selector and light which should be no problem. Here are the pictures of the bottom part. If i set the column back to the gauges this should still be useable I hope and not too close to the driver. when I am finished ill put my seats in and check it out.

Slick!

I got the column all done for the telescopic tonight. Here is how it turned out. I think that it turned out very nice. ill have to put my seats and my column in the truck now to see how this works and how close it gets to the driver. I may have to find a flatter ( less dish) wheel. If I need one I would like one off of a 1965-66 impala telescopic column and just adapt my GMC horn button to it.

[chewychevy67]

two more that show it short and long. I broke my shift indicator piece so I will have to get a new one. But that all works nicely and accurately too.

OK, now ya gotta take it apart and do it again after paint! Pretty cool mod.

[chewychevy67]

The whole cab is coming back down to metal in feb. James (nuke1) is going to do the truck after the shotty work I had done in 2010. So it will all need to be repainted. That's why I'm doing these last few mods. After the cab is done this time that will be it.

I have done a little searching and found that this wheel will also work on this column. Its from a 66 cadillac. I may buy one. I like that it is 3 spoke. A little closer to the original wheel.

[chewychevy67]

I measured the column distance from the dash to the top of the wheel. the tilt telescopic column fits great and works just as it should and looks proper. I moved the column back and did some measurements. I used my 70 without tilt in stock position and my 67 with pushed back column with for the measurements. I can move the wheel from the top of the gauges from 11.5" to 14". The 70's wheel from stock sits 12" from the same spot. I can move it 0.5" further back from where it was stock. no gain at all. when I get the other wheels ill do this again. I think the impala wheel will sit 1" - 2" closer to the gauges just because it is designed that way. If not I guess it will just be for the cool factor.

Looking really good rod!

[nuke1]

Hey Rod, I looked at your door panels and have an idea for your switchs how they are mounted. we will have to talk in the near future to discuss it.

[RenoKeene]

Wow! You do excellent work, your truck is fantastic!

[chewychevy67]

I added these pieces under the vent windows. they came on some 70-71 blazers to help tighten up the door seal. kind of the pre-version of the 72 doors.

[Kronald_70GMC]

Looks awesome uncle. Great to finally be able to post on here.

Incredible build. If you still need a shift indicator let me know, I've got one I'm not using.
