We put in a LT1 Corvette engine with a 4 speed overdrive transmission

The truck is sitting on a 69 frame with a 67 cab and body. We also took 67 aftermarket finders and modified them to accommodate the gas tank.

The rims are 18" Ridler 645 with KUMHO ECSTA STX 255-55's on the front and 275-55's on the back

Looking good fellas!!

Re: RTI 67 stepper build
 

Where did you get you wheel and tire package from? Cost?

Re: RTI 67 stepper build
 

Looks like solid work!

Re: RTI 67 stepper build
 

Where did you source the fiberglass rear stepside fenders & what was the cost for the pair ?

Re: RTI 67 stepper build
 

The wheels were purchased on Ebay. I tried repeatedly to buy wheels from a supporting member, but I never could get a shipped price, so I gave up and tried Ebay. The tires came from Tires Direct, it took a lot of work to find a company that had the staggered sizes I wanted. Tire and wheels were in the $1400 range
I am afraid I can't help much on the fenders, they were purchased from a local guy that parted out his project. I think he said he bought them in K.C. but that is all I remember.

Re: RTI 67 stepper build
 

Thanks for the info. I have been running into the same problem with the tires. Now I can move forward. I thinking about going with these wheels in a 18"

I went back and looked at the tire invoice, and it is tirebuyer.com. They were great to work with and the tires showed up in 2 days. Sorry about the wrong name earlier.

First off, welcome to the board.

Looks like you have a great project going. Keep us posted on your progress.

We had to modify the gas tank because of the modified finders. we cut a new hole for the neck, trimmed the neck to size and welded it all back together.

Welcome to the board!
Looks like a very cool project. More info about your students? Are they high school kids or "adults"? Subscribed.

Re: RTI 67 stepper build
 

Our students are both adults and high school, male and female, ranging in age from 15 to 50.

Re: RTI 67 stepper build
 

Great project to learn on!!! Something they will all remember for a long time!

We have been out of school for the last 3 day due to bad weather, but we were back today. Several students sanded on the rear fenders today. They are a little wavy, but at least we are not fighting the normal rust. I will try to get a few more pictures next week.

This week we are prepping the bed for paint. We have the rear finders in the booth today getting a coating of Epoxy Primer, and a group of high school guys are sanding on the bed. We have located and cut the Oak planks for the bed floor already.

Re: RTI 67 stepper build
 

Nice work !......I like the way the fuel door came out on the rear fender.

Re: RTI 67 stepper build
 

Great work!

We ordered a bed light it came in today and we converted it into a bed light/tail light... The red for the tail light doesn't look very bright in the pictures but it turned out being really nice

Re: RTI 67 stepper build
 

Very nice progress.

Re: RTI 67 stepper build
 

The bed light/stop light looks like it is going to be a cool improvement and an easy one to boot.

Hello everyone this week we are doing a little bit of interior work. We have expanded the hole for the radio to allow us to install a double din system.
