Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Got pictures of my new horn center piece today. Telescopic wasn't available in anything gmc so I traded the bow tie out. One with raised letters and one with engraved letters. They look sharp.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
I only skimmed the thread, but very cool build. My grandpa's '58 Caddy has auto dimming headlights and its pretty trick. Keep the pics coming.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
I got the guide matic dial and reostat mounted. The back dial is the guide matic and the front is twilight sentinel. I also got the dials a bit closer to the gauge bezel.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
GMC is the Cadillac of trucks yours will the be top of the line. If you make a window sticker with all the options that will be a big window sticker for sure.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Took the original wipers and put new blades in them. I didn't realises that they had stainless sleeves that hold the rubber in back then instead of plastic. Keeping these for sure.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Here are some pictures of the original gas tank carpet pieces. I just posted these for someone else so I figured I'd post it here for reference. The strap holding up the carpet is 1" wide, 67 1/4" long and 1/8" thick heavy cardboard. The smaller cardboard backed piece goes around the jack and the larger piece covers the tank. 13 screws mount the rug to the cab and 3 more for the buddy seat brace. Rug still has original manufacturer tag on it as well.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
I took out the moulding around My rear view mirror and painted it the same color as my dash pad and inner seat pleats. I took the glass out so when you look into the glass the inner lip is red too. I might paint the light bezel too.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
I bought another oil bath air filter so now I have 2. I am going to keep the one I restored an oil bath cleaner and I am going to convert this one to use a paper filter. That way I have a OE filter and I can still keep that look when driving around with the paper filter piece.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Definitely a killer color of blue! Not sure you can go wrong with any color with the red interior, other than maybe green.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Love all the details and extras you're adding. Going to be a really cool truck, fun to show people all the extra options, and will be comfortable for you to drive.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Thanks. I am having fun with this truck. I love making all these options look somewhat factory and not like add-ons. I painted in the letters this morning. They turned out awesome! !

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
I separated the lid and mesh retainer today. I am going to make a drop in piece for the base of the air cleaner so it can be used both as an oil bath and a filter cartridge. I will keep both tops. The restored one will remain an oil bath top and on this one I am going to weld a piece inside that works with the original A86CW cartridge..
