1967 C10 Urban Retro

[Orangetonicclicc]

Didn't work on the truck today, but I figured I'd take a picture of my new turn/park light connection I made last night. Nice clean and user friendly!

Mounted the module and mocked the PAC 2750 Fan Controller before I drill my holes. still have a few wires I need to tuck and zip tie. Very confident in what I've done so far, but I'm still nervous! It's crunchtime! (Picture is sideways AGAIN????)

Thanks Dan,

I'm a little confused by the Dakota Digital Fan Controller. I had to step away from it for a minute to regroup. I'm confident it's something I'm over thinking. I will figure it out.

My 1967 C-10 hole is smaller than the other C-10s of that era. The spacer for the others is different than the 1967 c-10. I have the tumbler, the chrome bezel, and the ignition but there's a component missing. I looked on LMC but it shows no additional part for the 67. Can you guys tell me where I can get this other part or how to install my 1967 ignition?

Your probably talking about the aluminum spacer? Check with Teeitup ( Randy ) on the parts board, he'll have one for sure.

I saw that, I'm just not sure that's correct? If you notice it says 67-72. This part is unique only to the 67. I have that part off a 1970 parts cab. It's a total different application. If you look at the LMC catalog they don't even sell it. From my research this is a non-reproduced part and must be salvaged.

Looks like 67 was unique and used a one year only spacer.

Yep, '67 is a one year only ignition deal. The spacer is not reproduced. Better see if you can find one on the parts board, if not pay the subscribing fee and post a WTB ad and they will come out of the woods for around $20. Been there already myself

I'm going to check with this Randy guy first and if I don't get a bite I will do that Dan. Like I said, this thing is fighting me the whole way. I eliminated the pushbutton start for an easier install and now this?

[Orangetonicclicc]

Got the Red Top.

[Orangetonicclicc]

I had contemplated hiding the battery and my AC Hoses, but I want my truck to actually still look like a machine. A few hoses showing but neatly done will keep the authenticity alive in my build. I like the look of the battery showing!

I've got a redtop to use also. What are you doing for your hold down?

It's called a Group 78 Puck hold down for GM applications. Youcan actually go to there website SND go to there contact us link and email them and they will send you one, supposedly free? We will see I just sent them a message.

Time to stab the distributor and run my plug wires!

[Orangetonicclicc]

Got my spacer today for my ignition! Great fast service! I highly recommend Randy (Teeitup)

[Orangetonicclicc]

Glad I decided to go with the key ignition!

[Orangetonicclicc]

More parts headed to the powder coater

Tested my headlights and tailights today. Running lights work and my rear running lights work as well along with my dome light. But my license plate light is not working. I also tried to turn the ignition switch to see if my starter would turn, but it didn't engage. Little stumped by that. My Dakota Digital dash clock came on but that was it. Never got my connector for steering column, so I had to reorder it to wire my column. I really didn't want to get to crazy with the test until it's connected. All in all Im getting closer. But still have a ways to go

[Orangetonicclicc]

Now to find a descent reliable place for my ground for the headlights. Going to look at the assembly manual and connect it in the proper places. They are working along with my park lights in my bumper!
