Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Mine was more of a geographic burn. I think they're cool...I mean, my disposition about the awesomeness of this build is well established. What's amazing is...just when I think you're done, you got another cool thing and another cool thing and another cool thing. Wild.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Got it outside today to get a full view of it. Sometimes it's hard to visualize what it is your trying to accomplish when you only looking at small sections of the vehicle all the time. Hood hinges are being shipped back today. I hear Willie Wilson is the man when it comes to rebuilt hood hinges so soon I can put it back on.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Looks good.
I don’t recall, do you plan to keep it factory height?

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Yes I am. When it's all done and if I don't like the rake look I may even the back and front to believe but that's about it.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
I did some paint on my phone with this picture out of boardom. Not great but gives me an idea of how it might look. Mabey soon one of these paint jobs will be a reality! I'm thinking I'll probably paint it like the truck in the last 2 photos without the cowl hood buy may just do the white roof. The 67 roof paint style isn't my favorite but it's still in the mix but only with the white bottom.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
So I used a different reflector back with my t3 headlights and wow what a difference. These now have a very noticeable beam pattern cut off on low beam and high beam. Truck is 6 feet away from the cardboard and not 100% adjusted. I looked into the retrobright bulbs but I did not like the look of the plastic lenses. All my newer vehicles have yellowed. Here's a Picture with the low beams and 1 with fog and low beams. Lighting Pictures never show up well for some reason but here's the best my phone will do.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Looks decent from here!
Ya know my 2012 silverado headlamps have always been a little high. I get flashed a lot without the high beams even being on. I finally got the manual out to see about how to adjust them (I couldn’t figure out how on my own). The manual says to call your dealer. Omg! Seriously!?! So I had them adjust them. Made me appreciate how awesome these old pickups are.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Yeah these trucks were made for service in the field need be. Modern vehicle mechanic repairs need to be hauled into the shop for a lot of things. That takes the fun out of them.

Re: 67 GMC super custom build
Next on my list was my horns. They weren't working so I took them apart and cleaned them up. Now they work as they should. I'll have to get them painted yet. I may see if there is anyone who makes the stock style rivits so you can't tell they were opened.
