67 gmc 4x4

[CORSAIR]

*****en truck I am curently prowling for the exact truck congrats. What size wheels are on it? it looks like some wheel i have been looking for?

Here is some info on the power steering setup, it is 67 only. Bob was right about the Cal smog pump. You can send your motor mounts into Steel Rubber to have them refurbished. I also included a picture of the rear springs. That is how mine looked when I bought it. Only 2 springs.

Great buy. I wondered where the shift sticker was to be placed. LMC could only say the cab. Does looking at it on the ceiling make it appear in reverse order?

[75gmc454]

Here are some more pictures. The first is the carpet around the shifters. Can you buy it already cut like this?

The next is the wood in the bed:

This is the drivers side. Dont you love the green door. The original door is in the back.

The last pic is the rear springs. The two leaf kind?

If you want to see any more pics let me know.

[67chevy1series]

why was the driver door taken off???

[75gmc454]

Thanks for the info Rick, and everybody's comments. I am missing that mirror and the choke knob. Also the drivers side seatbelt.

[67chevy1series]

yes the seat belts are one year only as well i knew i was forgeting somthin...well i found out the hard way so i always tell all the new 67 owners you are also missing a cigarette lighter knob

I believe the 67-68 had the 2 leaf rear springs. Im not 100% certain though.

My 67 K15 4x4 has 6 leafs. Yes, 6 per side in the back and 3 per side in the front. Its a lwb though.

The previous owner must have had the door open and backed up and sprung the door backwards. I may be able to fix it, but not sure.

[75gmc454]

That is good to know that the springs are right.
Here is a pic of the belts:

A better pic of the front:

Looks like a great project.

[67chevy1series]

you have a middle seat belt!!!!! wow amzingly hard to find for a 67 you have a gmc so you need the 67 seat belts with no bow tie on them unless you grind it off and make it smooth like a gmc one....

[chewychevy67]

Now im even more jealous. i love the front of the 67 gmc's especially the bumper guards. your truck is definately a good start for a project.

Please keep sharing photo's! That thing is a gold mine of things to document, since it hasn't been messed with too much.

I'm interested in the drive train in particular.
Axles, engine, trans, and t-case.

Save that carpet, and have a new one made using that one as a template.
The t-case rubber boot is not reproduced in the original style like that, so if it is still good enough to save then I recommend it.

67/68 Stuff like that is only reproduced in a generic fit all style, which to me is frustrating when vendors tout things as being correct when they are in fact not.

Naturally I like it! I think you will find the GMC V-6 makes a great off road engine. Loads of torque at low r.p.m.'s. Correct on the 2 leaf tapered rear springs. The right valve cover does come very close to the firewall. In fact, the shop manual says to put the #6 cylinder on the exhaust stroke before you try to remove it. There is a 'sweet spot', when you find it the valve cover comes right off.

If you don't already know, here is the greatest collection of GMC V-6 experts known to man:

Great truck, good luck with it.

[75gmc454]

Glad to see all of the replies. Keep them coming.

I will gladly take any pictures that anyone wants to see. Thanks for all of the ideas on the interior pieces. I will save all that I can for a template.

[67chevy1series]

well any pics of the back?

[75gmc454]

Sorry Rick, I don't have any pics of the back yet. My camera died because I had the flash on inside the shop. I will get some pics tomorrow.
Here are two other pics:

Here is a pic of that mount that has been welded:

Clint, Here is what the mount looks like on my truck. It may have been modified when the power steering pump was added. I am pretty sure the ram assist power steering was not factory but added back in the day since the bracket to mount the pump is welded construction. Are there any other V6 4x4 GMC owners on the board? It'd be nice to see more of these engine mounts. What is up with the "cage" around your upper radio hose (the part right in front of drivers valve cover)?

My first impression of that "cage" like bracket is for the AC compressor, since I see in the cab AC vents. There were probably other brackets involved, but looks as though they may have been removed.

Probably a aftermarket style compressor, like a giant York compressor that was popular back in the day.

[75gmc454]

Here are a few more pics I still have not had a chance to get a pic of the tailgate and rear bumper, but I will tomorrow.
