More pics of my soon-to-be daily driver - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

72Lester · 07-13-2002, 09:20 PM

Had to roll the '67 long step out of the garage and turn it around so that I could see to work on the other side - one light bulb in the garage. The 250 I-6 is still crankin' and runnin' but it smokes a bunch and is throwin' oil from somewhere - guess I have my next priority lined up. Then comes replacing the right lower control arm and the right trailing arm. (Still would like to know what kind of "Dukes of Hazard" move they did to screw them both up. The tally so far: sanded through 3 different colors of paint (1 had a hot pink stripe at the bottom!!), 22 rattle cans of primer, and 3 quart cans of bondo (I know, I know). This truck will never be a restoration, probably won't turn heads (except the smoke), but at least it's another '67-'72 on the road

Here's the pics, I know y'all will be jealous but contain yourselves:p

Don't look bad as far as rust goes, looks solid. You don't find them like that to often here in the Northeast. Enjoy!
