1967 GMC Stepside, Small Window

[Alex72nova]

Hi everyone,

Im new to this forum, and would just like to say hi. I previously had a 72 nova that I restored to a semi street/strip car, until someone ran me off the road and I totaled the Nova =(
Good thing I wasn't at fault, and I had INSURANCE =)
R.I.P 1972 Nova


Well to cut things short, I purchased a 1967 GMC small window Stepside truck a long time ago, and have made that my new hot rod, and been in the process of restoring it.

Here's what I got done so far (feel free to comment) :
- Brand new interior; dash, carpet, seats, weatherstripping, repainted everything, etc. almost everything is new besides dash gauges
- Had the door jambs professionally aligned and set with new everything, new window cranks professionally done
- tilt column
- Windows have been re-seated and sealed with new rubber
- re-located fuel to rear with a 16g fuel cell
- early classic 4-6" drop kit with leaf springs
- American Racing rims with 255 in the front and 275 in the rear (soon to be 295)
- brand new 327 that was rebuilt with 2.02 fuelie heads, mild rv cam, pete jackson noisy gear drive, estimated hp is about 300-325 (not bad for a original 215hp block)
- after polished aluminum headers, have stainless steel 2.5" exhaust w/ magnaflow mufflers.. soon to be flowmasters off the nova..it's dumped off in the middle of the truck right after the mufflers with downpipes
- transmission rebuilt th350 w/10k miles
- rear end rebuilt 3.42 gears with an LSD
- new Vintage air and heat
-The whole undercarriage was sanded and sprayed, so basically rust free

*since last week, i have installed a new ACCEL vaccum HEI distributor (to get rid of points) and msd 8.5mm wires.

* the interior is basically brand new, just some minor scratches here and there since it has been sitting and worked on.


*there is probably more things that have been done to it, I just cant remember...ohh like a new driveshaft haha!!

[67chevy1series]

there we go! im up for it! yeah i know what you mena by having annoying loud" exhaust.... i have no exhaust... just ram horns lol way to loud... very annoying unless im just starting it for a little just to warm her up then its livable lol

[Alex72nova]

HAHA SWEET!!!
Ram horns, love it hahah!!!!!
Yea, the 2 inch exhaust sounds great with the magnaflows i currently have on it..
Its just loud enough to hear the cam, and quiet enough to hear the noisy pete jackson gear drive whine...!!!
but yea I already got some ideas for the pictures

[67chevy1series]

i will eventually run 40 seires flows with 2 inch exhaust and the ram horns lol

[David67]

Can't wait to see more pics. I'm running 2.5" pipes through 18" glasspacks and turned out in front of the rear tires and I'm still getting the urge to install cutouts...I like em loud lol.

[Alex72nova]

Alright, sorry for the wait guys, long day..
just got done eating at bennehanas!! way to expensive but worth it

David67 - lol sounds good, i had electric cutouts on my nova that i still have.. i might install in the future.. but untill then, im satisfied with my 2 1/4" exhaust...

Nice interior!! Here's one of when I got the truck and how it is now. Still a bit to go. Build thread's in the signature.
Edit: Sorry, don't know why the first one's so small.

Lol thats why I picked it up..Im really into vintage hot rods from the 50's
and looking through some magazines,...and watching american graffitti, they have the old velocity stacks on the carbs! so i did my research and picked one up at summit racing lol

[Alex72nova]

Oh yea and btw, how much does a 67 gmc stepside weigh anyways? I always wanted to know, and cant find any thing on google

[VA72C10]

Nice

[Alex72nova]

Thanks!!! the next thing on my to do list is the paint...
then to add 373 gears to the rear end..currently 342..
then change to a 2500 stall

[Alex72nova]

So new update guys,
got some side pipes installed..after my 2 1/4 inch exhaust
to the mufflers, after the mufflers are 2 1/2 inch exhaust pipes bent outward
under the step..
sounds awesome...




what do you think?? actually reduced interior resonance and made
it deeper
