67 GMC super custom build

[chewychevy67]

Got my rear 15" x 6" rims back from the shop. Reversed the centers. Now the wheel track will be the same front and rear.

[Wide Open]

I like it. Very nice!

I decided to use ssbc's disc brake kit A126-71. Here is how it installs. Uses the drum brake spindles and hubs. It's not bolted up tight here but this only took me 30 min per side to disassemble and reassemble. No rusty bolts though. That helps time.

[chewychevy67]

More... Going g to see if I can use a 67 69 car dust shield work with this kit.

[chewychevy67]

I added a low washer fluid system. The light is right beside the knob. It will only come on when you are using the wipers or washers if the jar is low.

[chewychevy67]

I am going to adapt wet arm wipers instead of in the cowl.

[chewychevy67]

Got my converted oil bath air cleaner back today. Should work nice. Here are both oil and cartridge converted side by side. You will never know till you open it up.

[chewychevy67]

Got these back too. Ready for powdercoat. No filler!

[Wide Open]

Those are nice!

[chewychevy67]

I bought this Nos gm pickup box hand rail kit for my truck a while ago. Really not sure if these fit in on this build but they are era pieces and figured they are neat and rare to have even if I don't use them. May never find a Nos set again.

Got the steering g column painted yesterday. Was going to assemble next week but just realised I never ordered new column seals so I ordered some this morning on ebay. More time for paint to cure I guess.

[Already Gone]

Column looks great. I'm looking very forward to seeing your truck completed.

[chewychevy67]

Picked the rails up Friday and just sat them on the bedside to see how they look.

[nds1968]

Interested on how you'll do the wet wipers. Your coming along nicely.

[kehstr]

I think those bed rails actually fit your truck pretty good!

[chewychevy67]

Working on getting my 67 70 chevelle dust shields to work with the disc brakes.

[chewychevy67]

I painted the horn center so you can see the gmc lettering easier.

[nuke1]

Steering wheel button looks great!!!! Glad we could help you out with the metal work for the air cleaner and the wheelhouses.

[chewychevy67]

After I installed the signal seeking radio the washer pump was really tight in there ( as if they weren't with any radio and ac dash) and being how poorly they worked anyway I decided to make room and add a 1975 Vette washer pump. Much nicer and looks era. It will also constantly pump when the button is depressed as opposed to 12 intermittent sprays.

[chewychevy67]

On of the 1st things I bought for the truck a long time ago and found them today. New repo style T3 headlights. Not sure if they still make these anymore.

[chewychevy67]

Getting my tires mounted today

[cericd]

Nice T3's and bias ply's ya got there!

[chewychevy67]

Along with the wheels I got the rest of my small parts powder coated. All that's left are my inner fenders and rad support to powder. I want to fit them 1 more time before I do it. My chassis is now complete.

[68bowtie]

Hey, I recognize those sway bars... Looking good!

I missed the thread on what you did to your inner fenders. Did you have someone straighten them out or were they already that nice?

[chewychevy67]

Yup those are the bars I got from you! The passenger side inner was Nos but had a few dents. The driver was the original but had some minor rust issues. Didn't want any filler so I could powdercoat them so James (nuke1) made em all perdy and shiny!
