Too nice a truck to blast off...;)

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II

Well, I've had this truck for about a year, but thought I'd share it....

A lady I work with asked if I had lunch plans, I said well, actually I'm going to look at a set of wheels and tires for an old truck I'm working on (the one in my avatar). "You work on old trucks?", Well yeah, I have one I'm working on when I can. "Do you want another one?" Well......I don't know, what do you have and what do you want for it? "I don't know what it is. It's black and taken apart. We're moviing, and it needs to be hauled away. It was my husbands in high school, but he wrecked it like 15 or 20 years ago and it's been sitting." Do you know what year it is? "No." Does it have really round fenders? Or is it really square looking? "It's kind of round." So at this point I'm thinking it's a 48-54.....so I ask her to bring me a pic of it, and I'll see if I'm interested. The next day she brings me her iPhone with pic's on it. I'll take it! She wouldn't take any money for it, so since she was moving, I gave her and her husband a $100 Home Depot Gift Certificate. Can't decide on a name yet. Maybe "Homer" after the Home Depot GC, or "Black Bart" since the truck is black and her husband's name is Bart.

'68 Short Fleet...Front clip is in the bed (obviously), 307 (probably junk, carb has been off for ~20 years) and powerglide. Looks like someone maybe put a car axle and rotors on it b/c it's 5 lug now, and the rear axle has been flipped to spring under.

Anyway, I've always wanted one of these. Got to finish my '83 first, but this will be fun. Plans are 5.3 LSx motor, put clip on, clean it up, different wheels/tires and drive it.

The pic she brought me.

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II

This is just after I installed my CPP Lowering kit. The black wheels are just temporary. I have some steelies with Dog dish caps in the works...

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II

I would love to see and hear more on that cummins!

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II

here is mine. not a very good pic but oh well. its a 72 that was bought new by my granddad then passed on to my dad and I purchased it off my dad. Now just need to lower it some and do the usual body work.

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II

Nice truck Kevmar96, like the story behind it too, will mean a lot to fix it up your way and still in the family. The rims look pretty nice too, should work well when lowered.

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II

Good night with friends

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II

This is my FIRST EVERY POST (many more to come...lol). I will be making some up grades to the exterior (shavings and big window), suspension (Stage 3 Performance Kit -TBD), interior (custom everything), etc.

This is my girl "OPRAH.". She was born in 1970 and has a balanced 383 Stroker w/ forged internals - pushing 400+HP on 91 pump, with a M-22 (at some point I will upgrade to the LS fam) and laced with 26's shoes.

Thanks for welcoming me to the boards!

Respect,

"C"

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II

beautiful 68 4bt swap man. details please!

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II

I have to agree in 68 cummins truck, looks are decieving aren't they. No one would expect that engine in it, must sound so totally different idling.

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II

Getting there. Have most of the parts to finish. Just needs a good wash from all that bodyshop dust.

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II

Here is my 71 Cheyenne factory 396, factory black, factory leaf spring truck, factory tack and 12 bolt. Pretty rare truck to have so many options. Got bucket seats in black and white houndstooth and console. Riding on a set of 20"s and lowered. Just a driver for now but is a head turner![ATTACHAttachment 1120948
