Project Rouge 67 short - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

romes20 · 09-02-2011, 12:05 AM

Well Im fairly new on this forum but have found a lot of interesting/helpful information already. I've been in the truck scene for a while now, in spring I sold my bagged S10 to buy this truck. I've had my 67 for a few months now and have been slowly doing mods to it, so I've decided to make a project thread.....

Previous truck..... 2001 Chev S10

My next truck..... I decided to take a completely different route and go with something older. I have always been a huge fan of C10's, so I started looking for something with a decent body and engine. I came across this 67 short from another province (I'm from Canada). This truck had a little more then what I was looking for but for the price I couldn't pass it up. I transported it over to its new home in the back of a semi trailor. I am a huge newbie when it comes to engines so please bare with me when I begin to do engine mods. All advice and guidance welcome

Painted the rear half of the frame and put drop coils in (previous owner used coilovers with a hack setup, it wasn't safe).......

What the bed looked like before...... The previous owner had a trap door thing where part of the bed lifted up so he could fill his gas tank (you can see the trap door if you look closely in the pics). I hated it from day one so I re did the entire bed

Re-did the bed in pine with new hardware and strips.......

I will have more updates shortly, I have done more things since these pics but the weather hasn't aloud me to the truck outside for some sunny pics.

Any thoughts or comments are welcome.

Looks like a good upgrade from your last truck. But I am a bit partial.

Nice ride.

romes20 · 09-09-2011, 03:15 PM

I bought a new 1406 600 cfm electronic choke edelbrock carb, I originally had a manual edelbrock 1407 but have been told thats too much of a carb for the engine Im running and that might be why its running poorly.

I was just wondering, where is everyone running their positive wire to for there electric carb? Ive research and seen a few different places, I just want to know what's best on a C10.

laplander · 09-09-2011, 07:33 PM

That's a project? Dang, I hope my FINISHED truck looks that good.

**lolife99** · 09-09-2011, 08:04 PM

Beautiful truck!

FRENCHBLUE72 · 09-09-2011, 08:07 PM

Nice ride and welcome to the board...

romes20 · 02-02-2012, 07:53 PM

Forgot to post these pics back in fall. I swapped the steering wheel back to the original 67 wheel, painted all interior components to match, and painted the inside firewall black.

Few more random pictures:

Once spring arrives I hope to tear the front end apart, sandblast all suspension/steering parts then paint it all black including the firewall and wheel wells. Also. another project that Im more unfamiliar with is tuning the engine, that will happen right when I take it out of storage.

Complete bed back on the truck...

Yep, I believe I bought them off you (assuming Trilogy is your s10forum user name). I switch wheels almost every year and finally after 4 sets I was happy with the intros, instead of selling the wheels I sold the entire truck :P

Thanks a lot, still have alot I would like to change though. The seats are out of a trailblazer.

ilovnos · 02-03-2012, 11:08 AM

Nice looking truck, wish I had waited on something that nice! And for your carb.--I couldn't see too much of the motor, I'm assuming it's a 350? But even for a stock 305, 327, 350...any small block Chevy--a 600 shouldn't be too much carb.

67c10rustbuket · 02-04-2012, 11:10 PM

Nice!
