67 GMC super custom build

[67 Burb]

I like the washer fluid low-level indicator setup. What kind of circuit are you using to turn the indicator light on? Got a schematic?

[68Gold/white]

Is that a factory deal??? Just wondering, I have not heard of such. Where is the indicator light?

I like that setup. The mickey mouse pump situation on the motor is a pain.........

[chewychevy67]

It's actually a 71 to 74 gm coolant level accessory. I just adapted it to washer fluid and made the light work next to the wiper wording on the gauge bezel. Gm Part # 364002. The pump is from a 75 Vette. They are common on ebay and relatively Inexpensive swap.

The radio is now completed as well. Had the face re-chromed and all the buttons re-chromed as well. New truck style lens. I also sent it back to Greg at electro tech and had him install a auxiliary from the back of the radio so I can play my phone. I'll prob run a cable to my console when I get that far. I am super happy with how this turned out. I would recommend electro tech for all your radio needs. Greg is great to work with. I used his speakers as well. Here is a video as well of it all working together.

What kind of paint did you use for that steering wheel center cap? Looks great!

I used the same paint the body shop used on my interior. Jut mix it all together and used a syringe to apply while it's laying flat. It turned out nicer than I thought.

Your attention to detail is amazing. I LOVE the wheel/tire setup. I can't wait to see this thing completed.

Looking great!!!!

I picked up this original gm locking gas cap and am going to add it to my truck. I bought a repo one first and it didn't line up straight. Now I'm scared that when I buy a new tank from spectra that the cap won't be square when on all the way.

Got 2 Nos floor mats for my 67 and sold one and keeping the other for this build. These fit nice in trucks with the low hump. The only thing that bugs me about these is I wish they made them with "GM" on them instead of a bowtie. The only bowtie that will be on the truck. This one has some wrinkles in it from being packaged poorly in the original box but the other one I have is nice and smooth. They match the vinyl on the inner seat and dash pad perfect too!

I have a pair of 4" fog lamps from a 1957 cadillac. They are perfect for the front bumper on my truck. I'm going to use a pull switch where the choke delete plate goes. Here is the switch used and picture of the lights. I used a cadillac switch bezel so it will look the same as my headlight and wiper bezels. Now to make holes in the bumper.

[chewychevy67]

I'm going to take this piece and see if I can have it duplicated with the words FOG on it.

[Wide Open]

That looks pretty slick!

[chewychevy67]

I got a neutral safety switch from a 1966 cadillac with the vacuum ports on the back. This will run directly from engine vacuum and only let's vacuum Thru in the drive gears. This will trigger a electric vacuum switch that will only let power to the fog lights in the drive gears. I also am going to power the pull switch from the headlight switch so the fog lights can only be activated when the headlight switch is in park or headlight positions and the engine must be running. All my lights will be run off relays now. That's the one unera mod I'm doing because the headlights are much brighter and takes the load off the switch.

[chewychevy67]

I won't even have to get power from the headlight switch. I got a switch with vacuum ports on it and when you pull it out vacuum can pass thru. I'll just put this switch before the neutral vacuum switch. When the lights are on vacuum will pas to the neutral safety switch. When it's in gear vacuum will pass to the electrical switch where power will turn on the lights.

[67 Burb]

Hey, Rod, that vacuum switch will do something else..... the fog lights will turn off when you put your foot into it to pass another vehicle at night.

[chewychevy67]

Yeah I am trying to find a check valve so it will keep vacuum when it drops or use vacuum from the canister. The nss will loose vacuum though when taken out of gear. Still working on it. Or Maby I'm just over thinking this and will just operate it with the switch.

[chewychevy67]

What do you think guys. Closer in to the guards or farther to the outer part of the bumper?

Id say out looks better.

[Wide Open]

Agreed - out

I found a metal interior done light in the auto wreckers nearby in an international truck. I always hated the plastic ones and had no idea metal ones were out there. I had it re-chromed and now it will screw in and no more broken plastic clips!

So, you are saying that the dome light is the same in the International trucks, as it is the Chevy's? What year are we talking, in the Internationals, if so?
