New to the board. I figured I would introduce myself, and share a few pics of the new project.

Still researching, to find out what exactly the previous owner(s) did to this thing- aside from the bumper guides, bed rails, etc. I found the boards VIN decoder quite helpful in determining the vehicles origin, and factory setup. That being said, it's not in horrible shape, as a starting point. This is really just something for myself, my teenage son, and my pop to work on together.

Current basic plans:

3/5" or 4/6" drop- we do live in the city, so we have to be careful how low we do go, as roads here are downright awful. I'm leaning towards the 4/6".
Upgraded column- I'm 6'3, and my son is 6'4. At current, our legs both hit the stock wheel even when simply transferring from gas to brake.
Disc brakes all around
Wood Bed
Relocate gas tank to rear under-bed

Still debating on paint schemes, wheel/tire combo, engine/trans, etc. The SBC engine runs (roughly), so we'll just start with some basic tests, to see if it is worth sticking with/rebuilding.

Sure, and thanks! I'll have to take a new one. Just got a new phone, and that must've been on the old one, as I don't have it in my library.

I have been trying to figure out the paint. As you can see under the primer, there is yellow. I couldn't decipher the paint code that I found on the glovebox sticker (4550AD). Maybe you guys can help once I upload that pic.

I believe these came only in a yellow/white two-tone, right? Not a solid yellow?

67's came in solid yellow too, but you have the cab paint divider trim so it would have been two tone white/yellow (assuming it was originally yellow).

Yup. Your truck would have been two tone. 550 (4550AD) would have been 81503 and 8290. Yellow and Ivory. Cool truck BTW!

Thank you for that. Starting to get a clearer picture.

One thing I'm confused by are the mirrors. Those weren't the mirrors for this style, were they? I thought they were for the C20 & K series?

Nonetheless, I will be removing those and going with some simple, one-arm, door mirrors.
