Re: 67 GMC super custom build
I've only ever had 67 and 68 trucks and they were on both of those. I can't say they would be on any other years

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
I got a corvette 1969 late model to 1976 hood pin latch with spring for a hood popper. Mounts up great. Should work wonderfully. I used my original truck hood pin and not the corvette one.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
I finished both my exterior door handles for the ground switch that will iluminate the lock rings and the illuminated entry. I also started on the rad support for the headlight washer hoses and finishing up the trans cooler stuff . I need to get this stuff done for front end Mock up which will be soon!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
A few pics of the headlight washer system. The pump is on the inside of the fender. I used grommets that look exactly like the wiring grommets to keep it looking stock. The hose will run under the grill header to the other headlight on the passenger side.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
This is just loosely cut but I wanted a visual.. I might cover the woodgrain in the doors with the dash pad and seat inner pleat vinyl color as woodgrain won't work in my 67 interior. It will have a pattern close to the seats in the vinyl ad it will be horizontal as the 67 gmc's had their vinyl door panels done that way from factory. What do you think?

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
The inner vinyl will be the same color as the red in the seat center. It's real close to what is in there but a tad more red and matches the dash pad.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Went and looked at the cab today. It's pretty much done as far as metal work goes. My front end will go for fitment in 2 weeks and final door adjustments. Then it will be putty work and primer!

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Today I put all the glass and guts into the doors my metal guy wants the weight in the door for final fitting. I had to move my kick panel speakers lower because of my door wiring. And I got my hood latch brace modified for the transmission cooler.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
I had the lines for the transmission cooler lengthened 3.5 inches and now they reach to the inside of the rad support. They pass thu grommet directly under the ac line grommets using the same grommets .

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
I have one of those hard bed covers too and personally dont care for the look. Id like to figure out a way to sort of trim it back so it was more flush with the besides and cover it with vinyl like a vinyl top and put some snap heads along the edges so it looks like an old school tonneau cover, but much sturdier.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Here's the line between the rad and the cooler. I will have to wait till I get the rad support on the frame to fit the return line that goes between the cooler and the transmission. It just clears the inner fender.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
I added a headlight switch with vacuum switch on it Ana a vacuum switch from from a trans converter to the headlight washer system this way the headlights will only get washed if they are on. Save on washer fluid this way.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
I squared out all the holes on my rad support and I took 6 nuts out of another rad support ad I added them to mine where the transmission cooler mounts so it will appear stock.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Not much happening now but I got my custom emblems mounted! I was going to drill the holes for the mirrors too but Decided to wait till I put the seat in the truck first.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Yeah that looks nice. Post a pic of the truck from the sides if you will. Looks like a nice rig.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
So as I keep looking for parts for the HD air cleaner option the more I find. All of these had a 4 inch duct coming in from the firewall to the precleaner but from there 2 bbl trucks had a 3 inch duct going to the air cleaner. Well I just found a lid on ebay for a medium duty truck with this option ant that have a 4 inch duct just to the air cleaner like the one from the cowl. So here it is. The air cleaner is like this one but I need to find a oe duct now that isn't damaged from the cowl to the precleaner. I have the other in good condition.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
With a few modifications I'm sure I could make this look like the general made if stock. I'd like to find another so both could be remote but if not I'll make the passenger mirror remote and use this other mirror to match sizes for the drivers side. .
