67chevy1series · 01-01-2011, 09:07 PM

the 60 66 guys have this so lets see if we cant find out which this side of the board so what are you gonna do to your 67 72 in 2011!

*project 67 sub* · 01-01-2011, 09:14 PM

drop spindles, cupped and plated lower c arms, rear brake lines, bags for front, and probably a new pan hard bar.

67chevy1series · 01-01-2011, 09:18 PM

sweet make sure to put up a pic when you got it all done!

GRUMPYONE · 01-01-2011, 09:22 PM

Put bags, and maybe the 402 i have in the garage in my wifes ride. And maybe disc brake it.

67chevy1series · 01-01-2011, 09:24 PM

Vintage Windmills · 01-01-2011, 09:21 PM

The only thing for certain is I know I need a 4x4. I get off the beaten path in the summer in the dakotas and if it rains, the prairie roads turn to mud.

So, I cant decide if i want to put a 67-72 K20 rolling chassis under my C20, look for a 01 up 2500 chassis with vortec, or just keep the c20 as is and buy a K20 or 2001-2002 2500hd. I love the capability of the newer 2500hds, but love the character of the old trucks. I wonder if i can find a rolled/totalled 2500hd for under 5500?

**mr48chev** · 01-01-2011, 09:31 PM

Remove dents, weld up holes and move the gas tank under the bed. It got a new carb this week.
Nasty and dirty engine but this is the first brand new carburetor I have ever bought in my life and I am 64.

This engine and trans will come out in the spring and be replaced with the 500 Cad and turbo 400 and this engine will go into an AD series truck I am building to sell.

NINERS1 · 01-01-2011, 09:37 PM

New foose ledgend rims, install my sanderson headers and tuck exaust up, bed cover, 2 more inch drop in the rear with blocks, c-notch.

71meangreenc10 · 01-01-2011, 09:41 PM

Work on the burb,finish the brakes on the Green Machine, Drive the GMC and get the body fixed....

**mr48chev** · 01-01-2011, 09:41 PM

I don't have an incab tank but have a 35 gallon stainless tank in the front of the bed that takes up the first eight inches. That isn't bad but since the filler neck sticks up and out.

Shyguy · 01-01-2011, 10:02 PM

This is a great question evoking a lot of thought. I am at a point that I need to decide which one of my projects to concentrate on. Logically I should take the two trucks and make one good truck, but I am real hesitant to destroy two drivable trucks to make one.

Neither one of my project trucks are what I want for a final truck and even if I put them both together the result will not be. I want either a swb 4x4 or a C-30.

I have been contemplating getting both of my projects in good drivable condition and doing some body work and then selling them while looking for the truck I want. One of my problems is my son and I put one of the trucks together so I really don't want to get rid of it.

Now you see my problem.

Realistically this is what I need to do. I need to concentrate on my '71 lwb stepper with a 454 to get it to the point it is a reliable daily driver and repair any rust. It won't take much to make it a reliable daily driver by installing a new carb, fixing the manual transmission lub leak and fixing the heat soak starter problem.

fix the 67!

caboutin · 01-02-2011, 09:08 PM

I have new chromoly roller rockers, pushrods, and tall valve covers. The valve covers are aluminum ansen type, they look kewl. I almost purchased those orange "572 Chevrolet" valve covers but they look best on aluminum cylinder heads, in my opinion. I have rear springs that will lower it 3 inches and I am in the process of finding the best gas shocks for that heigth. Any suggestions??? I had some bungs for oxygen sensors welded into the exhaust when I had the new muffs installed. My buddy is a LS-1 wizard and we r gonna get to know the carb on this thing inside and out. I finally installed a suitable throttle cable/TV cable bracket and got that off my back!!! :} Once I get the rear springs installed I can order the correct front springs for a big block at a slightly lower than stock heigth, just to kinda level it out. I bought 3" for the rear cause the ass end is way up there for some reason. I have seen some trucks on here with the same stance. I have another 72' that has a perfect factory stance, I love it. I want the red one just a little lower and level. This summer I will know if my new aluminum radiator is gonna do the trick or not. If not, I will add some aux. fans to the list.

Murphy IRE · 01-07-2011, 05:43 PM

Find the last thing on my brakes ( I think it's the vacuum now) and put deadening material in the cab and switch to vinyl flooring to make it a lot quieter!!!

dcpetty · 01-08-2011, 11:18 PM

I plan on selling mine to start another one.......it's addicting. The next one will not only go fast, but will turn a corner as well!!

67chevy1series · 01-09-2011, 09:50 PM

dcpetty · 01-09-2011, 10:48 PM

They are custom. I made them.

Mike J · 01-01-2011, 10:03 PM

finally get the new windshield installed, get a new gastank, then drive it for the summer before tearing back into it...

flashed · 01-01-2011, 10:10 PM

I just plan on keeping mine running and driving it while I continue gathering parts for a restoration .Found a pair of workable 69 doors today until I can get good 72 doors .

tex_waco_usmc · 01-01-2011, 10:48 PM

I plan on coming home from this deployment and "finishing" my truck. Hopefully I will have all the parts ready to go at the end of this tour.
