67 GMC super custom build

[chewychevy67]

This is what I got next for the truck. Illuminated door lock cylinders from a caddy.

[Wide Open]

Wow you are going all out!
Do those stay illuminated all the time or do they have a sensor?
Pretty cool stuff you are doing.

[chewychevy67]

There is a sensor on the door button. When you push it when the door is locked they come on for 30 seconds.

Very cool. Thanks.

I just read your build and I am absolutely stunned! Your imagination with using options from other GM cars is unbelievable. Great job Rod!

[chewychevy67]

Thanks. You know the more I mess with gm options the more I see gm made so many pieces interchangeable from the 60's to 90's and not just engine parts. I enjoy trying to make it look like the truck came stock with these options. It's fun.

I got my Locks finished. When I'm done my tool box lock will illuminate like the door locks do.

[chewychevy67]

I did one with the po3 dog dish caps. I have both set of caps so I will probably switch between them.

[Wide Open]

I like those even better.

Those locks are slick too.

Very interested in how you did that, part numbers or model info would be cool

[chewychevy67]

I had locdoc get me 2 kits and I don't have part #'s for those but if you search "optic lock" on ebay you will find some nos kits. I bought a kit with a black and stainless cover. I might use the black cover on the tool box lock if it stands out too much and takes away from the smooth lines of the side moulding.

[chewychevy67]

I decided the dog dish caps are out so it will be between these 2. I try to dislike that white roof but I just can't. I like the red white and black together .

Well, there went a chunk of my morning. But a chunk well spent. What an incredible restoration of our favorite GM vehicle, and also a veritable history lesson of other similar period GM engineering. Thanks for that.

As for the roof - this is a TUXEDO truck. I would drive this to the ball in a tuxedo, with Cinderella.

Tuxedos need some white.

All black is classy yes, but on truck, kind of plain.

My humble opinion, and I appreciate your quandry. With your attention to detail, it is not a decision to be taken lightly.

Unbelievable work. Looking forward to seeing it done, and maybe in real life some day.

love the photoshop pics. i'm gonna steal some of these!

[chewychevy67]

Got my headliner front sms today. The last piece and it oly took 4 years to get it all. This is the second one done for me as I sent the first one back cause it was the wrong color and grain. This time they sent me 2. Bonus and now it's correct with my other vinyl.

Here is a picture of the 8 track brackets for 3sondad

[chewychevy67]

Got my signal, tilt and shift levers rechromed. Now my cruise control button will be on the shift lever on the telescopic column.

[chewychevy67]

I think I'm going to put a blackcap on the tool box lock so it doesn't break up the smooth look of the mouldings. It will still light up like the door locks.

Holy accesories galore batman!
