Kinda new here....Pics of my progress
Hey guys, I'm kinda of new to the board and I just learned of the rule about posting your ride. Well here it is so far. It is a 67 SWB 1/2 ton 2wd. I have added a big block, 350 turbo tranny, ECE 3.5" front and 5" rear drop kit, ECE front sway bar, ECE super track bar, ECE front disc brake conversion kit, KYB shocks, one piece drive shaft, march pulley system, power steering and A/C. All I got that was any good when I made the purchase was a frame and a title. I am having to acquire EVERYTHING! Let me know what you think.

slogo - I didn't shave the roof rails. I wanted the rails so I ditched the cab and got a factory air cab. I had the cab on the board "FREE". Someone said they were going to come get it this weekend, but so far....NO SHOW! I haven't gotten to the body mods yet, but I know I'm going to do the side marker fuel filler thang!

If that's what the frame and engine look like I can't wait to see the truck that goes on top of them!

Welcome from Missouri. Do you think the March pulley set up is worth all the cash? Looks sweet,... just wondered if you had any comments on "fit and finish".

Looks to be exceptionally good work. The 502 really looks good in there. BTW is that a '66-'67 Chevelle in the background in that one pic?

Deuce - the frame is painted, probly should have powdercoated (Chevelle in the background is powdercoated)
Lolife99 - I like the March pulley system. I got it off another car I bought though. I don't think I would shell out the cash to buy one. I had to buy the power steering pump, pulley and bracket. That was $300....Ouch! The fit and finish is great though. Hobby67stepside - Yes that is a 66 Chevelle in the background. I'm waiting on the machine work on the motor. It's a 427. |

David J, I bought a new '66 Malibu when I was a senior in high school. They really catch my eye. Some day I hope to have another. Good luck on yours. With a 427 it will be fun!

Purs - no it's not a crate motor and I'm not running rollers. I don't think they will clear with those valve covers if that helps.
Hobby67stepside - this one could be yoursif you'd like. ![]() Last edited by David Johnson; 01-29-2005 at 10:44 PM. |

Hey David, awesome truck (and chevelle) Is that a crate 502? Can you tell me if you are running roller rockers or not? I'm looking at a set of those valve covers and need to know if they will clear a set of roller rockers. Thanks!

How about this for a paint scheme? Only change the blue to black and the pewter to cortez silver.
