Woot! My dad got a new 67! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

MandarinSixSeven · 08-05-2005, 10:48 AM

It's one that has been sitting around for sale for a few years, but it didn't seem worth what the guy was asking. At first he was asking $9000 for a 67 fleetside, little bit of surface rust, but nothing special looking, so I always just brushed it off. 67Cst and I used to go look at it when we were bored...

Well my dad got a new mail route and the same truck just happened to be on it. He got to talking to the guy and looking at the truck, and it's actually a sweet setup. Oh, and the price was now $6000 (a little better).

What it has:
- Built 350 (only 2000miles on rebuild) - cam, headers, edelbrock intake/carb...sounds amazing at idle!
- th400
- power steering
- Front disks
- Front sway bar
- 5-lug axles (woo hoo!)
- truck ralleys
- original radio still in place!
- nice interior (mint dash pad, headliner, bench seat)

all that and the guy ended up taking $5000 for it...so now we just have to wait until sunday to pick it up. Already some plans for it too, we are really wanting to give it a flat black paint job, lowered, maybe some red wheels...who knows, the possibilities are endless

I'm a little excited, even though its not mine.

cool truck. interesting bumber

matthufham · 08-05-2005, 11:22 AM

that's a nice find there. it's been through some recent body work with that fresh paint too.

MandarinSixSeven · 08-05-2005, 11:59 AM

Ya, the bumper is the first thing that is going. As far as the paint goes, the picture is a little deceiving, because it actually looks worse in real life, but still not bad at all. I think he said it was painted about 10 years ago or something.

needs to be lowered and flamed out

That truck sits nice...I'm getting ready to do my susp but I'm afraid it will end up too low or not low enough :/

BTW, What size tires are those?

Awesome truck! Pretty hard to find a 67 short fleet in Kelowna, your dad must be happy. Doug
