What im working with - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

67-step · 03-31-2010, 10:32 AM

I know its in pretty rough shape but the 2 biggest areas are the cab corners and where the step meets the rear wheel well only 2 spots with rot every thing else can be sand blasted.

72BlckButy · 03-31-2010, 02:34 PM

Nice score on the stepper; what are your plans for it?

BTW...

to the board!

**GruntMoanCough** · 03-31-2010, 05:01 PM

Welcome! I like it, but then, I might be a little biased

Welcome to the board! Sweet truck, I love the 67 gmc's! I am curently building a 67 gmc short fleet with a BB and automatic. Good luck with the build!

tcb-1 · 03-31-2010, 05:59 PM

2 piece split rims too. may as well chuck those imho. not very many tire installers will touch those.

that's a 292, correct?

culp7 · 03-31-2010, 06:15 PM

Sweet Pickup, please don't lower it or swap out the six! lol

Someone stole your heater hoses! J/K, welcome to the site, glad to see another four-eyed guy on here.

*highperf4x4* · 03-31-2010, 09:54 PM

That truck is awesome!!!

And it has a few layers of paint on it.

The only thing I can see that it needs though is a new heater core and you're set!

67-step · 04-01-2010, 10:45 AM

Thanx for the compliments. As for the lowering I was thinking about dropping it about 2" just because its only 2wd and i dont wanna drive it on the salty roads after i get it fixed up. I looked up the block code an it said its was either a 230 or 260ish but i see head bolts so i think its the smaller 6cyl. As for the paint that bright teal showing through the red isnt the stock color either. Did I meantion the best part is it was a CL $500 buy.

*highperf4x4* · 04-01-2010, 11:55 PM

Excellent deal man!

tcb-1 · 04-02-2010, 12:13 AM

you stole it for 500 clams!

gcburdic · 04-02-2010, 08:31 AM

Home from NC....Nice steal for 500 bones.....that engine wiring looks a little sketch too....Also, just learned they used the 67-70 chevy bumpers on 67/8 GMC's.....now here's proof...Cool

ole red · 04-02-2010, 08:37 AM

I was just discussing that with Chuck myself. I didn't know it either.

capev86 · 04-02-2010, 12:38 PM

looks like a good resto project to me! if it is the 250, i say swap it out for a hopped up 292 (electronic ignition, roller valvetrain, 4 barrel intake, etc) and put some 71-72 disc brakes on the front.

292farmer · 04-02-2010, 05:28 PM

nice!! good luck with it.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 04-02-2010, 05:45 PM

With the exception of wheels and tires she looks very nice...

I like them too, but they are probably a wierd size and worse, split rims. most tire installer run to the hills when you come in with those.

however, it would look killer with some 16.5" x 8.25 8 luggers!!

I still have the original split rims for mine. They are just like those minus a little rust. My grandad ran them forever, but I didn't want to hunt down 16.5" tires.
