Brought home the 67 Today - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Bob 68327 · 02-22-2009, 08:42 PM

This will be the one I will use to build my daughter's truck her 67 will be for parts. This one last saw pavement in 1984!!! Pretty solid truck . Watch for "Project Sweet 16 " in build threads comming soon !! I'm shootin for 2010 to have it moving under it's own power. It will keep the 283 in it and get a 350 turbo trans. It's gettin a 75 crossmember and rear leaf conversion . Anyway here are a bunch of pics . Enjoy !! Bob

Bob 68327 · 02-22-2009, 08:47 PM

Last for now .....

thirdstreettito · 02-22-2009, 09:01 PM

That hood really cracks me up!

Nice truck though.

Bob 68327 · 02-22-2009, 09:06 PM

Yeah that's what happens when someone put's GMC hood and fenders on a 67. Notice I was quick to remove it when it got in the shop . I have 3 more 67-68 hoods so that's an easy fix . Bob

70cstjr · 02-22-2009, 09:17 PM

im really digging those chevrolet script valve covers..u dont see those everyday

shawn57nomad · 02-22-2009, 09:35 PM

Hey I know a guy that will make a home for that hood for his 71 in his buddys barn! HEHE! Lookin' good. You guys wouldn't believe how straight and clean that body is on that truck! Good luck with the up-do on the truck Bob.

Sure looks good for Iowa. The weather is lookin' better down the road so I'm bettin' it won't take bob long to get started on it....

.. (Read-won't be able to keep his hands off of it.)...

IvelDesigns · 02-22-2009, 09:33 PM

wow bob, looks a lot better when it doesn't have 3' snow drifts next to it.

now get your daughter out there tearin' it down

72BlckButy · 02-22-2009, 10:02 PM

The '67 looks nice Bob, can't wait to see what you turn out for your daughter's first set of wheels.

Good luck with the teardown!

I have to agree w/ 70cstjr, I love those Chevrolet script valve covers; definitely keep those on there!

Them script valve covers aren't going anywhere. The 283 under em is staying also

greygoose · 02-22-2009, 10:54 PM

I like those valve covers too,didn't the early vetts have them like those?

67_C-30 · 02-22-2009, 10:56 PM

Looks good Bob!

The vette's were alum. otherwise this truck would have the rare "Corvette Option"

Bob

67ChevyRedneck · 02-22-2009, 11:59 PM

Looks pretty solid for Iowa.

stllookn · 02-23-2009, 12:51 AM

Bob...I hope you are keeping those valve covers. I am still working on mine.

Absolutely Keepin them !!! Mild cammin the 283 and back on they go !!!

Gray Ghost · 02-23-2009, 01:26 AM

Why are you converting the rear axle to leafs? You do know the trailing arm setup is much better for handling and traction right?

Cheaper parts,easier to find,I can center the wheels in the wheelwell like they should be,and I like leaf springs . I converted my 68 to a dana44 w/leafs and couldn't be happier. To each his own I like leaf springs. Bob

*chevy29267truck* · 02-23-2009, 12:57 AM

The truck looks sweet BoB i see blue for 67 is hard too find like the arm rest

metalman1968 · 02-23-2009, 11:52 AM

It is great when the kids love and wan't an old truck instead of a tuner. All three of my boys 4, 19, and 22 years old wan't nothing but.

C20-67_N_MO · 02-23-2009, 01:29 PM

WOW!

Very scary, as the blue truck looks like how mine came when I bought it.

Nice looking project, good luck with it!

But I will
