Saying HI...just signed up
Hey all....I just found this site and its a good thing too.......I have just started my long awaited project and I'm sure I'll get good advice out here.
I own a 67 longbed stepside, and a 72 shorty stepside...both 2 wheel drive. I need to know how to post pics so I can share these trucks with everyone! Both trucks are in what I consider 'beater' condition. They're semi solid but need help. The 72 has a 307 and th350 tranny. The 67 has a 250 and 3 on the tree. My plan is to put the 67 small window cab on the 72 shorty frame with the 72 nose(personaly my favorite looking grill). The bed on the shorty is shot, so I will chop and shorten the 8 foot stepside bed to fit the short frame. I want to drop it 2 or 4 inches(haven't decided yet). Final paint will be primer red with flat white pinstripes. Rims will be steel with trim rings and tires will be whitewalls. Any advice or suggestions will be greatly appreciated, and I look forward to hearing and reading your comments and corresponding with you all through this project. Til next time........... ps .....how DO you post pics? |

Welcome to the board from Md. I'd use the 67 small window cab and front clip on that project, the 67 Chevy pickups are so cool!
