Firewall holes? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BACKYARD88 · 12-02-2007, 04:18 PM

Does anyone have a pic of a firewall with a description of what each hole is for? I want to get rid of the ones I don't need but I'm not sure what goes whereas mine was pretty much stripped when I got it. I thought there was one floating around the site somewhere but i can't seem to find it now. TIA

I have weird truck!!! Joesjunk, was here and noticed it. The clutch hole is lower, like down on the other flat part. I'm not sure if its a V6 thing or what. Its on a 67 GMC, and its a factory hole. I'll try to get a pic Sat

BACKYARD88 · 12-03-2007, 01:46 PM

That sounds interesting teeitup. I'd like to see it.

Longhorn Man · 12-03-2007, 02:10 PM

I posted about that a few years ago... durring my caddy conversion. My old 69 GMC had the clutch hole down there too, I had done a poll, and IIRC, the GMCs were the only ones like that, but not all of them.

Let me see if I can find a pic

Longhorn Man · 12-03-2007, 02:17 PM

here it is;

teeitup · 12-03-2007, 03:35 PM

Yes Andy, thats what I got on this 67 GMC.

Longhorn Man · 12-03-2007, 04:05 PM

mine was originally a 305 v 6, automatic... I am assuming Th400, but it coulda been a TH350 beng they came out in 69 for the trucks (m49 on the SPID)
Another oddity on that truck, it had the high hump floor. The only thing I could come up with on that was the V-6 1/2 tons with autos got the high hump. Never came acros another v6 auto 1/2 ton to compair it to though. I know the hump was original too, it had the original one year only maroon paint on it.

teeitup · 12-03-2007, 06:13 PM

Mine has a automatic, never really looked to see what type. No high hump in it. These are some strange trucks !!!

67 with a 351 and automatic and in a half ton. Most V6's I've seen are 3/4. That clutch hole is strange
