Went and look at a 67 today... pulled the tigger - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well I reckon I have bought a 67 swb big back window. This is a crappy pic the owner had on craigslist. Hopefully it will be in my hands by Tuesday. It has a 350/th350 that will be replaced by a lsx engine and a 6speed.

rsavage · 08-06-2010, 09:08 PM

Congrats on the purchase.

I am still working on it... this is just gonna be a beater for now. Probably gonna put a 5.3 or a 6.0 and the t56 I got in it and beat on it. I will have to put a vintage air in it too so the little one can ride in it.

It really doesn't have a lot of rust, less than a lot I have seen. And it cost about $3000 less than what I paid for the last 67 I had. It is not as nice as that truck though. This one is going to need some paint, rockers and a core support at some point but it will be a driver/work truck.

Zoomin · 08-06-2010, 10:08 PM

Looking forward to watching this one.

jkade · 08-08-2010, 07:10 PM

I went and picked it up yesterday. At 9am this morning this was still a running truck. It had about the amount of rust I expected and some it places I didn't expect. It isn't any worse than my blazer was though. I hate AHole's that cover up rust with bondo!!! I guess I am going to do a frame off on this thing. I didn't realize until today that it had a 68-72 bed on it and it has one 68 fender on it. I may end up and take 1 1/2" out of the front and 3/4" out of the back of the cab and lean the post back, we will see. I guess I am going to invest in me a good sand blaster now as I need one for this and the trazer. I love that the guy I got it from thought it was "rust free", now I have to go get a eye exam Tuesday but I ain't blind yet.

More pics to come...

Yep, some Dill Hole did a crappy job of shaving the rear marker lights.

Zoomin · 08-09-2010, 10:46 PM

What are your plans on how to get this bed in shape? Can it be saved, or what?

I have got to get it outside and get it pressure washed and see how bad it is. A lot of what you are seeing there is just dirt, I noticed when I was taking the drive shaft loose that is had a few small rust holes but it didn't look that bad from underneath. In the end it will at least get a spray on bedliner on the bed floor as I want to be able to throw a cooler and such in the bed and not have to worry about scratching it up.

Zoomin · 08-08-2010, 10:27 PM

Dammmm! Don't let any grass grow under your feet, do ya?? (except for updating your sig)

This one will be fun to watch...

I was thinking the same thing. You do not waste anytime. I need you to come to Georgia and light a fire under my ass

red71cheyenne · 08-08-2010, 11:14 PM

I thought about it but I didn't want to spend any money on it to just drive it for a few months. I am gonna do a mild build on this and hopefully have it done in a year or two.
