1967 C20 Flatbed Driver Project
We have had this truck since May and have slowly been working on getting it to be a driver.
I will start with some pics of when we got it.

Re: 1967 C20 Flatbed Driver Project
First thing we had to do was get rid of the camper. Four pickup loads of garbage and one load scrap aluminum later.

Re: 1967 C20 Flatbed Driver Project
Then we had to cut 30" out of the frame to get back down to the 127" wheelbase. We also cut a couple feet off the back of the frame.

Re: 1967 C20 Flatbed Driver Project
Then we were at the junk yard getting some other parts and walked by a 71 dump and noticed it was a small window. We cut the section out and here are some pics of it welded in, the start of body work and some primer.

Today we bolted the bed on and welded the bumper on.
Also installed the tail lights and wired them up.

Re: 1967 C20 Flatbed Driver Project
We had these tool boxes in the garage for a while with the thought of using them for tool storage and they happened to be the right size.

Re: 1967 C20 Flatbed Driver Project
Thanks. I'm not sure how much work the truck is going to do but it will be a nice driver and ready to haul when necessary.

Re: 1967 C20 Flatbed Driver Project
Picked up a 62 gmc with a newer flatbed and decided it would look nicer on the 67
Going to clean it up, paint it and install the tool boxes.

Re: 1967 C20 Flatbed Driver Project
Here are some pictures I took today. It's mostly back together. The paint job came out good, far from perfect but great for a driver.
Before we installed the windshield we repainted the top of the dash and dash pad. We pulled the inner fenders before it was painted and cleaned up the engine bay (it was nasty). Both inner fenders had a little rust so instead of having to sandblast/repair them we bought new ones. We are going to go back and paint the inside of the doors and door jams.
