Re: 67 GMC super custom build
It's funny that you say that because it seems like I often have it together then take it apart to fit something then take it apart again but rarely take photos of the complete unit. Hopefully soon it will be all 1 color. My kids call it the rainbow truck.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Looks good. I love that 67-68 trim molding 1000x better than the giant 69-72 strips. Just a cleaner sleeker look IMO

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Got the rear mouldings finished. I filed the edge around the tail gate lock.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Thanks guys. That is the first full weekend in a long time I spent on the truck. I really wasn't looking forward to making all the rest of the holes to mount my trim and emblems but I did get it all done. Only drilled 1 wrong and had to weld and redo it. I can't imagine adding the trim after it's painted. That would be full on stress.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
I removed my hood and am going to send my hood hinges to willie for restoration so tonight I got half way thru the next job I'm not that fond of doing. Being my truck is a 67 it did not have cab to fender seals. I have to drill the holes and mount them. I have tried this on 3 other cabs with new seals and they never work. So this time I took some originals and mounted them. They have been molded for 50 years and were a nice fit plus my doors can close and open without catching them! Passenger door next. The special washers that I had 3d printed worked absolutely awesome and with my door wiring boot mounted at an angle it won't get in the way of the seals like they would if they were mounted just on the face of the Pillar.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
I Got the passenger side done today. Much easier the second go round. I realized that I put the seal backwards on the bottom 2 screws on the driver seal so I'll have to correct that.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
OK so here's where most of you are going to think im nuts. I've decided not to use any fat mat or anything like that to put inside the doors, on the cab floor or firewall. I have decided to go completely stock. Which is basically nothing. But if I truly want the 60s experience it's gonna be loud lol. Just mocking up the new original style insulation with the heated seat wiring. I may put just on the back of the carpet but we'll see. Carpet will be original as well. No carpet under the seats.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
So here's something I've been thinking about for quite some time. I love the flat ribbon that I'm using for my heated seats. Lays flat under the rug and you can't feel it very much under the carpet. I want to run my fuel tank wire and interior lights wires there as well instead of by the sill plate and those wires are thin so no worries there. Now for the power seat motor wiring. I have a 10 gauge wire running there and you can absolutely feel it. It's thick. I have pondered running it thru the ribbon but I'm concerned it wouldn't carry enough current if both were being used at the same time. The chevelle I got the harness from also had a plastic sleeve around it but then you have a large bump. I was thinking I'd find something thinner to wrap this in.
