Looks just like the truck my pops just finished painting. Looks great!

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

You guys make my Suburban look tiny lol

Anyways, it's got Detroit Lockers, NP205, 350/350, with the regular engine mods (Edelbrock, etc, etc), and some Doug Thorley long tubes. Soon to get some 3/4 ton leaf springs up front and some blocks in the back to even it out, and hopefully some new tires.

finally a paint job! 1967 K-20 CST
 

after a few years of trying to get it together I finally painted my truck...I settled on a single stage urethane w/ hardener...original color...nice paint...Nason by DuPont ...

used my 30 gallon compressor and a water filter...45 pounds pressure...solid two coats with thgree on the hood, roof and doors...hit the inside bed too a little...still have a 1/4 gallon left over...I painted the roof green...( it was white and the body green) if I dont like it I will re spray it white???

this morning I did the jambs, hood sides and hit a spot or two I missed under one quarter...all with a small foam roller...worked like a charm...minimal tape necessary...

May is good weather...no bugs(well a few) nice temps and no humidity yet...this is something I did 40 years ago ...and decided to do it again for oldd time sake...also saved a bundle...275 dollars in paint, hardner and some reducer and tape...

it was fun...started at 8 in themorning after wet sanding w/ 400 the night before...only a few runs, nothing a little 600 and some wax wont fix...I do need to get the letter decals for the tailgate...also I lost one of the cab light bezels on the first test ride...I must have un hooked it when I pulled the tape of...that will probbably be harder to fix than anything else...

...and I think its running a bit better too...LOL...

1967 K-20 CST 4 wd 327 ci 4 speed...

all the best...ted

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

WOW! Can you come on down to Florida and paint mine? JK. That is real nice. And that color is growing on me more every time I see it. Kinda wish my truck were older now. Congrats sir. So many never make it to paint...

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

update i finally get to pick her up this weekend then the real fun beings putting it all back together:gmc2:

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

Silvertip67, looks great. I finally dropped mine at the painter. I don't have the shop, tools or skill. I did strip her done to bare metal. She is going back to the 504 and 502 two tone (Lt Olive green and white). Trim is done. I have to finish the tail gate trim and repaint the front grill. It was silver and the PO bainted it black. I found one decent 69 door and a marginal 71 door (passenger side). Mine were dead. I think I will run out of $$$ and I will do the bed liner myself.
71 veronica, looking good send pics when done!
I'll do the same

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

so after almost 4 years after starting this thread Ive made some progress of the LWB, hopefully in the next few weeks I can get it primed one uniform color lol.

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

Finally SOME progress? Looks like a ton of progress! Good job! Oh and a side question... Do you really own all those trucks in your sig? DANG! PM me some pics of that 57. Those are like truck porn to me.

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

If he does own that many trucks it is no wonder he has no time to work on all of them, man one is hard enough.

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

Theres actually a few more Im hiding as well, my sig would be too long with them all in there. The 57 is in the same state the 70 was for the last 4 years but longer. Its my next project i think, looking for a 454 locally then find a nv4500 and np205 to stuff in it. I have like three tri fives trucks and one 58 apache as well as what I think is a two ton 55-57 GMC, you cant see the frame or rear end but they are massive. And right after I took this pic I grabbed the weed eater and cleaned around the truck so the grass doesnt grow into it. Yes I feel bad for it being outside but Im building a lean too this summer for most of my vehicles.

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

So freakin jealous! Maybe you should send me the 57 postage paid so I could finish that which has been started...

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

That's a nice piece of steel you have there V. Any progress?

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

Looks like you will need an extra large lean too for all your projects, hope your fairly young.:lol:

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

30 so young enough to collect more and finish the rest lol, If I can start finishing them once a year Ill be done by 40 lol. I live in a small town where most spend their time drinking beer and doing nothing, while I dont mind beer, Id rather spend my hard earned cash on my truck/cars/toys. Once a few are restored I can sell one or two to fund others. I hope to build two lean too`s, one will be a 4 car the other maybe 6. But thats all hopes right now lol.

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

Well young enough and with a good plan too, some cool stuff for builds. I only do one at a time, your probably thinking of a few at a time and collecting parts for most, kind of an advantage for you.:thumbs:

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

My 71 K5 after 5 years its back on the road!!

Re: post your 67-72 4x4

Re: post your 67-72 4x4

We were there and were almost drowned while trying to get to our car! Pretty good rain for a while and traffic getting home was bad.

Nice looking truck!

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

Truck looks so much clean without the Duke's of Hazzard turbines, the factory Ralleys look much better.

Re: finally a paint job! 1967 K-20 CST
 

Looks Great!!

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

Here's mine, not sure if I've ever posted a pic here or not. Still needs some work.

Re: finally a paint job! 1967 K-20 CST
 

Wow! Thanks for the inspiration! Looks great!

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

Just got this little gem, build thread to come at some point
67 4x4 SWB (yeah I know she's got a step side on her now, but i kinda like it that way)

It was originally a park service truck with a six cylinder, speed warning and radio delete. But once taken out of service she sat for quite some time.

Will be a mild build, driver.. Plan is to have her up and running before the weather really changes..
Some stuff already done, but lots to do. I will turn her back into a proper 67 with parts I already have including a set of 67 step side fenders. Since I already have a 2wd 68 SWB in the making, she will most likely remain a stepper.
Will start with a mild 350 and use the current SM 420/T221 and closed knuckle Dana 44 to get things going.

What do you all think?

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
 

That 67 K10 stepper is a nice project, kind of like it a stepper and 4x4, of course the standard trans makes it a bit better yet.
