Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
 

Looked for a long time to find this old gal. As you know, step sides are pretty tough to locate.... particularly '67 steppers.
Purchased from 2nd owner. Original 283, 4 speed, 3.73 diff. Bed wood original and needs to be replaced. SPID in place and matches plate on door pillar. Says V8 4 speed deluxe instrument panel and thats about it.

Truck was 2" higher on passenger side than drivers side, both front and back, when I got it. I installed ECE 2" and 4" drop spings thinking that would correct the ride height all the way around. It was better, but needed some attention to the frame. Frame was bent from an accident, and probably driven like that for 30 years. Local shop here with a couple of old guys (my age-66) fortunately had years of experience with these old trucks, and straightened the frame pretty good. Now sits about 1/2" higher on the passenger side, front and back, which is OK by me.

Interior is 100% stock original, even the 501 medium blue paint, and looks very good. Truck runs and drives pretty much like new. No rattles or squeaks. Goes 70 MPH straight down the road. Came from New Mexico, so rust is minimal. Exterior paint is obviously not original. Everything works... even the back up lights.

Because of my health, I hope to put power steering and brakes on it eventually. It can be a challenge to maneuver in a parking lot.

Thanx for the details ! .

That's a sweet rig indeed .

My truck is still in pieces, I need a competent and HONEST Mechanic to finish the re assembly, no idea how to find one here in So. Cal. .

Re: 1967 Stepper
 

I was an honest mechanic, but I can't do the work because I'm old like you. :lol: Actually, it's mostly because of carpal tunnel release surgery last year that my hands ain't coming back to full strength as quickly as I would like. I got a new radiator and my son is going to have to put it in. Can't go camping unless my son puts the hitch on- I can't pick it up, yet. :waah:

Here is mine before and after.

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
 

Rick, what is that paint color and who did it?
I am in San Diego and just bought a 67 yesterday that will need paint.

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
 

Hi Duke,

I painted it myself in my garage in July.
Never painted a car before but turn out nice - very happy with the results.

The color is from a 1968 Camaro

code KK = Tripoli Turquoise Metallic

That is a very nice looking truck

Sad, isn't it ? . the mind is willing, the flesh is weak :waah: .

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
 

Nice Job on the paint and the color choice. Welcome aboard.

Great truck! Is that a 255/70/15 tire? I like the sidewall height and the size, it’s a great look.

Dang, that thing looks fast! Total opposite of my K20.... mine hauls firewood and just about anything else that fits in the bed. Yours just hauls ... :chevy:

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
 

Thanks! It's not going to be as fast as it looks, but looking fast was my main goal so I guess I'm doing it right!

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
 

Anybody try these U.S.Wheel Ratrod "69-series" wheels in a larger 18"-20" size? I'm planning some simple '72-80 Chevy LUV hubcaps or COPO Camaro poverty caps + 20x8/20x9 steelies. I prefer these over some of the other "big" steel wheel offerings, due to the wheel spider design that "cups in", as opposed to "bulges out". It seems like some of the other designs give the visual effect of the hubcap protruding almost to/past the rim face. https://images.iconfigurators.com/im...-1000_8170.jpg

The Roadster Shop has nice steel wheels in bigger sizes if your looking for options.

Here's my '72 C20 with the girlfriend. Originally had matching 3/4 ton hubcaps, but one flew off so I'm rocking the plain steelie look, which I love. Thought about putting slots on it, but we'll see. I'm going for a "vintage late 70's" look.
