Hey all here are a few pics of my 67 lwb fleet. gonna be some work, but not as much as it would be if it spent it's whole life here in the east. This is a California truck, that has been here in the east stored for the last 8yrs, never on the road here.

Looks like a good start.

Wow nice find! Looks like twin saddle tanks? Whats under the hood? What kind of options does it have? That molding looks flawless! Thats a sweet 67 you have there Fisherman...

It is supposed to have a 327, but I was told its a 350. Motor needs some work, I just might put in a 454 or 427. Yes it has twin saddles. the optons are the 327, turbo hydro 350, custom appearance, heavier shocks and a few other things.

Nice truck.... so was the truck yellow first?

Yea it was yellow, according to glovebox option sheet 04550AD. I don't really care for yellow wish I did cuz I wanted to repaint it in it's original color, but there isn't a way I can live with yellow! I appologise to those who like that color.

just love that AC unit

fisherman56 · 11-09-2013, 07:26 PM

What do you love about the ac unit exactly?

Hawghauler · 11-09-2013, 07:43 PM

I think those a/c units are rare. Love the truck, I'm working on the same truck myself. Yours has a lot less rust than mine does.

I just had the starter and the heater core fail in the same day. But the nice thing about these old beauties is the cost of parts. $50 for the starter and 15minutes of work, and $40 for the heater core and about 3 hours work. The heater core was a pita!, but it works nice now, and lost about a shoebox worth of leaves and debris out of the heater box!
Good luck on your build, and don't worry about the color, paint it the way you like it.
