wrecked '67 progress - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

walker · 11-17-2003, 12:50 AM

Well I am starting to make some progress on my '67 after the wreck. Still Fighting the insurance co but at least I am getting some parts together in the mean time. I have all the front sheetmetal that was damaged taken off. I talked to the frame guy and he said he would like it running with both front fenders and the core support in place when he straightens the frame.
I picked up a front fender, wheel well, grill, and radiator today. Best part about it was that Grandad was a parts collector and I found all the stuff at his house. I already have the core support. So I should be able to get her running soon. Still need to find the lower a-arm and spindle, I'll work on that this week.

And to packrat Grandad

I keep telling my wife "all this stuff will be worth a lot to our son". Maybe even our grandson!

dinnut · 11-17-2003, 10:07 PM

good job. you should get an award for resurrecting your old truck. especially since its a 67...

walker · 11-17-2003, 11:55 PM

Found the a-arms and spindle in a local wrecking yard today, $85 for the whole shebang. I appreciated the offee Hotrod, if I couldn't find it here I would head down.
I also talked to a body and frame guy today that has done some work on my dads dueces. He was a good man and willing to help me out straightening the frame, so it's still moving forward.

Hooter · 11-18-2003, 01:03 AM

how bent is the frame?

walker · 11-19-2003, 11:36 PM

Mostly it is just the frame horns are bent, however there is a slight tweak to the frame as far back as the aft end of the engine mounts. Not too terrible.
