Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
Hi Vic thought I would chime in on the window moldings. After several attempts with mine and 4 different glass shops I got mine done. The trick for us was to use precision brand weatherstrips and factory stainless trim that we polished. Aftermarket trim fits terrible. There were 2 different used on these trucks a deep groove and shallow groove trim the deep one works better to hold trim in the gasket. Whatever trim you get make sure gasket matches either deep or shallow. As far as brakes go I had same issue your having. I had luck bleeding the system with engine running and using the hydroboost to help push fluid through the system and also adjusting the hydroboost push rod until there was 1/2 Freeplay. Hope this helps your build looks great!

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
Yeah check push rod between hydroboost and master cylinder for adjustment if pushrod is to shallow pedal will have alot of Freeplay and go to the floor.

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
Yep... probably the single most overlooked item when mating new parts together. After mating the master cylinder to booster, adjusting the pedal to booster rod free play should bring everything into proper working order.

How are things in Visalia? I bought my first '69 GTO RA4 Judge from Arnold Wiebe there when I was stationed in Lemoore. Had to bribe Kathy with ice cream to get her to "just go look at it". Quote:

Rest of the day was spent sorting out a few electrical gremlins. The only thing left is the E-Stopp parking brake. It worked great when I tested it during the installation. However, when I applied power to it the the other day, it partially set the brake and quit. Now it just beeps. So I'll be on the hook with them tomorrow to see if they have any suggestions.

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
It's been too long since I've been on the forum, I had some suggestions for you on the window trim and the brakes, but everyone else has already said them, and you've pretty much figured it out. That's why this forum is so great! So many members willing to help out when they can.
Oh, to add to the window trim info, I've found out the '70 and older stuff is the better windshield stainless. The tab is centered in the gasket, not just deeper. The '71 & '72 trim has an offset and shallower tab, and my glass guy swears they are a pain in the rear to get seated properly. And he told me if I bought aftermarket stuff he wouldn't touch it. I haven't had him install my trim yet though. I need a new windshield first. I'm just enjoying driving it too much to pull it apart again.

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
Glad to hear you got the brakes bled and solved the leak issue, hope it doesn’t spring any leaks when you get to shake down.

Kathy and I went to the trim shop today to get an appointment to do the interior. Figured it might be awhile since he always seems busy, but we caught him in a slow stretch. We'll be dropping it off on Friday. I have a few things I need to do first, so that should give me just enough time. I've already lined up a roll back to transport it. They'll be doing the carpet, door panels, kick panels, headliner, subwoofer box, and console. Plus they'll remove the headrest hardware from the seats and sew in new panels. This will definitely accelerate my schedule!

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
What kind of dual fan controller did you use and what are the covers on the gas and brake pedals ? I'm in the process of the LS3 in my truck. Just got the motor and trans last week.
Did you try to use the oil pan that come with motor?

The pan I used is a GM 12631828 for a Cadillac CTS-V. My LS3 came with the 2010 Camaro pan which I chose not to modify. I did one for my bud, Chip, but it was a truck pan which has a sump that's too deep for our trucks, but sits far enough back to clear the X-member. I sectioned it about 2" but had to also modify the windage tray and the oil pickup. The kit I bought from Improved Racing included the pan, dipstick, windage tray and oil pickup tube. The windage tray is exactly the same as the one that comes with the Camaro pan so you don't really need it. But the the pickup and dipstick will make things a lot easier. The pedal covers came with the 2015 Dodge Challenger I bought a few years ago. They were in a box in the trunk and I never installed them on it. Was looking for something to dress up the Caddy pedal that came with the GMPP harness and they fit after doing a little whittling.

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
Called Nesmith Chevrolet where bout the motor today and they said it should have come with the muscle car pan. There sending me one for free to replace it. I bought the 500 hp set up.
I agree with you on the crip and solder then heat shrink . My have more questions later if you don't mind. We just got done building my son a bobber truck so now dad can get back on his.

Looking dammed fine there in the sunlight, Vic... too bad it's not under it's own power screaming down the blacktop.

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
Thanks everyone! I'm anxious to see how the interior progresses now. It's a little bit like a custom paint job... never looks quite like what you think it will.
While the truck is outta here, I broom'd the place down good and then got started on the plate that surrounds the shifter and e-level. It's all my little mill will handle, travel wise. In fact, I had to shim one of the stops on the vise. The Y axis has 7" of travel and the part is 7" at the widest end. Rounding the corners will be tricky. Some of it will have to be finished by hand. I had a quote from a local shop to rough it out with waterjet and finish it on a CNC for around $650 as I recall. I'll have to live with the poor man's CNC... a corner rounder and a file.
