Because I couldn't help myself - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

As if life wasn't busy enough... I found a semi local 67. The price was right so I couldn't say no. I'm close to finishing up the ls swap in my 71 k20 so I suppose this guy is next. Rust in the drivers side floor and kick panel is the worst. Corners look to have surface rust and rockers need work. I'm sure more will pop up as I start to dig. Overall it's super straight. Steel floor bed. I don't know if I've seen that in a 67 before? The body is all there minus grill trim. My intial thought is to shorten it up and put it on a 4/6 with another ls swap. Try and save the "patina" and enjoy it. Picked up a set of decent bedsides to practice cutting on before a ruin this perfectly good bed. It'll piss off the purist but.... while I was taking some pics, the deer came I'm looking for their grub. I feed them everyday and they know it. A little early for them to be shedding horns around here. Thought I'd snag a pic.

I saw this thing on Offerup months ago, always wondered if someone was going to pick it up... looked pretty solid for the price!

"oh dear!" you got it bad when your already buying the next project

**SlowGreen71** · 03-04-2018, 08:19 PM

lief- we will see. So far it looks pretty good. I've definitely had worse.

Mike that's what my wife said when she saw me coming home with the trailer. Well, something like that plus a little haha. She'll get over it.

Dagnabbit and Canuck, what exactly was the speed warning? I've had a handful of these but never had or seen that option. Anyone know anything about the steel floor in a 67? It's new to me but must've been a regular option? Appreciate any and all education!

An option U16 from 67-69. An extra adjustable needle with the adjuster by the wiper switch to a set speed limit. Once the speedometer needle got to the pre set limit it will give an annoying buzz to let you know your not paying attention to your speed. Most just move the needle a little higher till the RPM tells you your going too fast lol.

"Speed Warning indicator" is a pretty neat, somewhat rare option.

Looks from the picture the Speed Minder was pirated.

My '67 3/4 GMC had the steel floor for the bed. Not sure of how many were built that way, but I like the steel floor equally as much as the wood floor.
Great capture on this '67 small window.
I would love to have another '67 small window 3/4 like my last one.
