Well I hope I'm in the right place, I have a 67 Chev 1/2 steel long bed, I6, 700r4,2wd. The Truck was purchased by my wife's Grandfather and has been in the family since new. Her brother took the truck to a "backyard mechanic" and swapped the 3speed for the AT. It does run but the install looks likes hell.
So now it is my turn. The truck is in great condition and I want to make it a nice daily driver. I just don't know where to start. I do know that the I6 is coming out and a V8 is going in. 350 or 400 not sure yet? Will a late model (80's) 4X4 running gear fit under the 67? Will a tilt column from a late model fit? I have a chance at a donor 85 1500 4X4 and thought this might be a viable solution for spare parts. Any help will be appreciated Thanks Stu
