Re: Old Man Truck - 1967 C20

I agree with most all comments, this is a very clean and solid CA truck! The different tailgate, hooks on bed, and aux gas tank switch are all tell tale signs this truck hauled a camper earlier in its life. The later model wheels are a common find on 3/4 tons of this vintage, unfortunately, it takes away from the original character of vehicle, because you can't run original hubcaps ( see photo) with out clips. There are ways to add clips to newer wheels if you don't plan on original wheels. Chevy 3 speeds came in 2 varieties, full synchro or non synchro in '67. I would upgrage to a full if yours is a non. Also, your 4.56 rear axle pumpkin can be swapped for a 4.11 very simply without any modifications to drivetrain or suspension. Last note, always run tallest and narrowest tire available on lower geared non power steering vehicles.
