My 67 build
This is how the truck looked on the day we bought it. The man we bought it from had a very good start on it and I'm glad he did. I've always wanted a hot rod of my own to go on rides with my dad and his brothers. My dad has a 69 firebird that he restored about 10'years ago. One of my uncles and his sons have two 68 roadrunners and a 67 camaro. My other uncle has a 69 camaro, 56 apache, 43 dodge deuce coupe. We've got big plans for the c10 so I think it'll fit in just fine.

Re: My 67 build
Looks great. Pretty good start and it sure sounds like you are going to be putting together a nice build. I think I will just tag along!
 Your progress is just about where I have mine. I may be just a tad bit ahead but NOT MUCH. |

Re: My 67 build
Great looking project, looks like you had a solid project to start off with anyways.
 Love the direction you are taking with it. I have to say I love those old school slots on there to bad you couldn't have stayed with those.

Re: My 67 build
Sunday we opened up the rear end housing to remove the rear axles and noticed that he rear end was shot. I just ordered 2 new rear axles for the 5 lug conversion and all new rear end parts. I just found out that we will not be able to work on the truck this weekend so I'm bumbed out.

Re: My 67 build
Are your upper control arms on backwards (swapped side to side)?
Truck is looking good, wish I was ready for paint. |

Re: My 67 build
I was hoping you were going to run the slots, Nice truck either way. Looking forward to more updates.

Re: My 67 build
Thanks guys. The slots are 15" wheels and the wilwood brakes reguire I believe a minimum of a 17" wheels so the slots won't work for that application. As far as the upper control arms we never took them completely off so if they are backwards it because the guy we bought it from had them on backwards. Thanks though I will look over them when I get back on it in the next few days because it's at my dads shop.

Re: My 67 build
I'm going to post this in the classifieds but for you guys following my build know that these early classic drop spindles wouldn't work with my wilwood brakes. I never mounted them so they are brand spankin new. They are 2.5" drop. Let me know if your interested. Thanks JT

Re: My 67 build
Rear end is done along with the rear brakes. We plan on putting the cab on this afternoon and taking the bed off to get ready for the paint booth.

Note: I am NOT trying to be critical with this post. I just think that your ride and wheels might suffer if this is not corrected. So, hopefully this and Twotrucks comment will make it a better ride for you!
