67 ls-rrrr
 

Finally got started on the new project, Found a 67 in so so shape, I think Earl Scheib had this thing @ one time !!!!

Plans are all tubular crossmembers, Being built @ Porterbuilt as we speak.
Air ride with sway bars front and rear, Steering still up in the air. Power will be from Ls2 or Ls something? Depend what I can find! Shaved fire wall. Disc all around, He are a few pictures to start with!

Also check ot my other build. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=457288

A few more

Re: 67 ls-rrrr
 

i dunno why but, breaking the frame all the way down to seperate rails would make me nervous.... :eek:

Re: 67 ls-rrrr
 

It's just a frame, Lines back up very easy, No worries !!!

Re: 67 ls-rrrr
 

i have been thinking about doing that to mine, just a lil scared. would make it ALOT easier to blast.

gonna be replacing every one of my x members also with tubular. will definetely keep an eye on this build.

Re: 67 ls-rrrr
 

I blasted with all the cross members in it to start with. Just so I could get to all of the rivets, instead of digging thru all the grime. I did not waste my time on the cros members, no that there out I'm going to go back and clean up a few areas.

Re: 67 ls-rrrr
 

WOW! Man you really took that frame apart! All the rivits must have been a huge pain. Sounds like you have some awesome plans for it.

Re: 67 ls-rrrr
 

Yeah, it's getting there, took abou 2 hours grinding rivets,

Re: 67 ls-rrrr
 

looks great! i will definitely be following this thread, AZ trucks and all :)

Re: 67 ls-rrrr
 

For those who still have hours of cutting rivets out, i've found cutting an x into the top of them with the cutoff wheel and taking the air hammer with the chisel tool on it works pretty quick

Re: 67 ls-rrrr
 

That works great. Get some ear plugs though. I found a good cutting torch and air hammer with a punch works good too but be careful of the frame.

Re: 67 ls-rrrr
 

Working on sandblasting the cab, it's not quite as orange as it was!!! still as ways to go !

Re: 67 ls-rrrr
 

looks good so far

Re: 67 ls-rrrr
 

Heard you're putting a Cummins in it? :lol:

Re: 67 ls-rrrr
 

sand blasting looks great! wish i could afford that right now. but i need to do the whole truck and right now its a work truck so sand paper will have to do.

Re: 67 ls-rrrr
 

Are you trying to start rumors ? Where would I come up with a cummins motor?

Re: 67 ls-rrrr
 

Thanks, still have a ways to go! Work is more important than sand blasting, Thankfully this is just a keep busy kind of project, that I can work on when I have down time @ work.

Re: 67 ls-rrrr
 

you planning on running all pb front suspension? i'v been trying to find some lower control arms...

Re: 67 ls-rrrr
 

Everything but the crossmember, thanks Tim

Re: 67 ls-rrrr
 

Little update, more sandblasting done, repair on drivers side floor,pillar, rocker, and kick panel, Also picked up another front clip,

Re: 67 ls-rrrr
 

I looked at that same truck a couple years ago, did he still have the yellow 68 with the orange stepside from this truck? I also called on that front clip but it was already sold...I should have known! :metal:

Re: 67 ls-rrrr
