Its not a 67 its a 68...PICS INSIDE - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Mr_Superman · 11-23-2004, 10:40 AM

Well here are my pics of the new old truck. I drove it home, an adventure. I had never drove a three speed on the column. The engine in it needs rebuilt but the engine in the back was thrown in and its suppposedly a good running engine, the seller was gonna change then out. Check it out and give me your opinions. http://photos.yahoo.com/camaro_zeeya

I plan on doing a lot of things to it! I'm excited

Very nice! ......you need to get rid of the 80's rear fenders and steps though.

(truck really does look great)

Mr_Superman · 11-23-2004, 11:15 AM

I think I got a deal, only 1400 bucks. Getting rid of the steps? How? I'm new to these trucks

**N2TRUX** · 11-23-2004, 11:30 AM

Looks like a good solid start. I assume you plan to "update" the interior a bit...

Mr_Superman · 11-23-2004, 11:51 AM

Congrats on your purchase.

To change the current stepside bed to original look, you can check my website for the mods you'll need to do to your current bed. I notice that the engine in the bed has HEI. Double check to make sure they are the same design engine as the original. The one might be a newer style with integrated head. It'll bolt into place and as long as you have no accessories you will be ok, but if you have power steering or A/C by chance the original stuff will not diretly mount to the new engine without different brackets.

Looks like a fine start on project. Good luck on whatever you attempt with it.

i didnt know igloo made interior for these trucks

**'68OrangeSunshine** · 11-23-2004, 06:29 PM

If paint is any indicator, the L6 in the bed would be a '67-'72, because it's Chevy Engine Orange, like SBCs. Earlier L6s were apple green and later sixes were GM Blue. Unless some rebuilder rattle-canned a newer block w/ Chevy Orange [which could easily happen] chances are that block has the more desired seperate (non-integral) head/intake set up. But if it is an integral unit -- you can still rebuild the earlier head and mount it on the later block. Then you can bolt up such goodies as headers (Clifford, Hedman), a 4 barrel intake (Clifford, Offenhauser) 4 Bbl Carb (Holley 390 cfm, Carter AFB/Edelbrock 1404 500cfm); to say the least. I love '68s w/L6s.
