We have had this truck since May and have slowly been working on getting it to be a driver.
I will start with some pics of when we got it.

First thing we had to do was get rid of the camper. Four pickup loads of garbage and one load scrap aluminum later.

Then we had to cut 30" out of the frame to get back down to the 127" wheelbase. We also cut a couple feet off the back of the frame.

Then we were at the junk yard getting some other parts and walked by a 71 dump and noticed it was a small window. We cut the section out and here are some pics of it welded in, the start of body work and some primer.

We had these tool boxes in the garage for a while with the thought of using them for tool storage and they happened to be the right size.

Thanks. I'm not sure how much work the truck is going to do but it will be a nice driver and ready to haul when necessary.

Picked up a 62 gmc with a newer flatbed and decided it would look nicer on the 67
Going to clean it up, paint it and install the tool boxes.

That Flat bed looks Awesome!!!
I like that rear sliding window.
This is Probably the direction I will go with my Truck.
I have a C30 157 WB with a small back glass.
