What did you accomplish this year?

[bowtieboy93]

its the end of the year and just seeing what ya'll did?

i personally did nothing except strip my '69 to nothing

[skokie]

Its funny but if you look at my build thread http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=223234 it started last January

Has it been a year already? Oh and the funniest part it was supposed to be 3-4 months max

[72cheyennesuper20]

Thats Like asking what I accomplished on vacation on my last day of vacation. Sad to say not a whole lot.

[sick69]

Well lets see,,,,,

I suicided the doors, built a 4 1/2 cowl in my hood, mini tubbed the rear, swapped in a 9" ferd rear end, shaved the body of everything but the side markers, relocated the fuel fil to the rear, stripped the front clip and primered, stripped both doors and primered, re sealed the seams in the cab,,,,, that's all I can think of right now.

I plan to have the whole body and chassis done early in 08 and have the interior done and everything painted by the end of the summer.


Spend next winter on the engine and driving by spring/summer 09.

Got my EFI up and running, MK8 electric fan, cs130 alternator, A/C is working, sport bumper installed, 72 motor mounts swapped in. I guess I got a pretty good amount of stuff done without really realizing it till just now.
This board is a good motivator, there's lots of quality trucks out there built by guys in their garages and driveways.

[Longhorn Man]

nothing much here either.
well, the road trip of a life time and getting a new truck.
Other than that, I guess nothing much.
Oh, and goin to a kick ass board meet or two this year too.

[67_C-30]

I finally got my dually project off the ground this year as well as buying a myself a decent '69 SWB driver.

[crazy longhorn]

Roof,siding,soffet,gutters on the house,roof & gutters on the garage,a couple of sidewalks,3/4 done with the remodel in the bathroom, & misc small jobs around the place.....not too much on the truck. I did finish up the steel bed floor(14 guage treadplate), & add a new set of tubs to the box. crazyL

[chevy one]

Well, I seamed to do a lot of work on family and friends autos all summer while mine sat on the back burner. Dose this sound familiar to any others out there!!! That is what happens when you a gear head, at least in my neck-of -the-woods. Happy New Year to All

[68 Stepside]

I installed a 6 lug disc brake kit on the front of the truck, with dropped spindles, rebuilt the frontend (excepting balljoints), installed power brakes and a power steering box. Also installed custom gauges, and got the truck legally driveable. Put about 400 miles on it, maybe a few more than that. It still needs a ton of help, but it was a step in the right direction.

[1969k10stepside]

Every year I buy another 67-72.Bought 2 this year! Finally accomplished my goal of getting a 69-72 Blazer...I got the 71 K10 moving under it's power and the rust fixed.I planned to get my 69 K20 going again but didn't meet that goal Oh well,there's always 08..And I got one of my 67-72s legal enough for the roads (The Blazer) and have put a road miles on it

[Purduegmc]

Lets see, new rims and tires, went from external to internal regulator, wired in relays for my headlights and replaced my cracked heads with some new ones. Not bad, more to come in 08.

[Shyguy]

Since my '71 C-10 is my daily driver I did not do a lot on it but keep it running. My son gave me a new grill for Christmas so I put that in a few days ago. Early in the year I put a new dizzy cap, coil and plugs in it. I replaced the dimmer switch pig-tail. Replaced the worn brake and clutch pedal rubber covers.

My wife and I took a month off from work and went to Oregon and California to visit family and friends.

In October we bought a '77 GMC 6500 Tilt-cab dump truck. I have been working on it getting it road-worthy.

On and off I have been building my wife a 16' by 24' craft/sewing room. It has been weather-tight for about 2 months now, I guess the next thing to do will be to start putting in sheetrock.

Darn, as usual I got long winded.

Hope you all have a safe and Happy New Year.

[MisterE72]

It wasn't anything that Chip Foose couldn't have done in less than a day, but i'm proud anyways. Even if it took me all year.
1st: Got my frame c-notched
2nd: Modified the crossmember for exhaust to go through
3rd: Got the frame and a bunch of parts podercoated
We'll have to see how far i get in 2008

[Painter D]

throughout the year i accomplished the following: built my rearend 4:10 w/posi, weldin c-notch, got a billet steering wheel, new rear bumper, got a billet grille, converted to halogen headlites, shaved and painted my firewall, painted some interior pieces, installed stereo, rebuilt motor with top end kit from trick flow. im shooting for my 2 tone paint job and airbag susp. in 08.

[oldgold70c10]

Considering my limited budget, and the fact that its my ride to work, I think I got a lot done:
Added power steering
dual exhaust
rebuilt rear axle
added posi
new springs
new cam, intake & carb
total brake system overhaul
new tranny

Except about 75% of the engine, my truck is mechanically new.

I guess its time for bodywork in '08?

[BraveDave]

I built a new house. 2800 square feet with 5-car garage, 2 attached, 3 detached. All spaces are full with my two daily drivers, a '56 Bel Air post, a '56 Nomad and my faithful '72 Cheyenne Super.

[72BlckButy]

That is one nice garage... I mean house.

[Scott68-93-97]

Well the 68 didn't have much done except keep it running, I drove it maybe 20 miles this year, the 97 got some more frame mods hopefully will finish this truck in 08 so I can move it out of the garage and move the 68 in to get torn down completely, built a new RV access (that is 2 cars wide) and plumbed air throughout my garage including a hook up at the RV access. Off the Chevys I bought a $500 Toyota 4x4 that a kid threw a rod clean out the side of it, threw in a used motor I picked up from my roomate for $300 slapped it in and she runs good 25mpg daily driver now, great $800 truck. Quit smoking after 13 years, 10 years at 2 packs a day Cold turkey no withdrawls (mind over matter) That was probably the greatest thing to ever happen to me beside the birth of my son. Me and the old lady split up not he best thing but its for the better were still great friends, got 50/50 on the kid so I get to spend a lot of time with him, and thats my year.

Hope the best for everyone in 2008

[BigSky71]

I got my truck back on the road, from all apart to driving...

[crzngmychvy]

After 4 years finally finished my blazer, just have the top left.

[71HUGGER396]

[Sinister]

Bought my truck. Rattle canned it flat black. New wheels and tires. Replaced front fenders and the grill. Worked on the interior some. Fixed an annoying oil leak. Popped in an HEI. Got a new exhaust system. Fixed my dash lights. Fixed my windshield wipers. More to come next year...

[whatnow123]

I took my truck from this....


to this

[DavesRide]

My top on the list is that my five year old lives with me to go to school. Then I found a 67 Chevrolet truck. Then I found a Job that affords me to be able to drive the 67 truck and maybe even fix it up as we enjoy doing. It was a good year even if it was a little slow in transpiring. I thank God for it all.
