New to the forum. Currently in process of restoring a 1961 gmc long bed that I found in rust free Montana. Was hoping someone had the measurements for making the spin on filter adaptor.

I drew mine up in eMachineShop. It a semi-easy free 3D CAD program. Once I had the plate drawing finished, I export it to a STL file and 3D printed it in PLA. Did a trial fit then made adjustments to the drawing and reprinted it. The bolt will not export the threads for 3D printing, a machinist note will need to be added to tell them what type of threads that is on the filter (I'm using the sbc/bbc filters) side of the bolt. The other end was listed in their list of threads. Then I submitted it online to be made, I paid almost $850.00 to have the plate and bolt made.
A side note: I noticed that the canister oil filter base are not exactly the same from one engine to the other (I have three canister bases and they are all different), probably due to loose specifications. You will need to measure both sealing surfaces on your base very carefully.
For gaskets use the one that come with the canister filter. You will need to remove the one on the oil filter very carefully.
