1967 lwb fleet.ill give it a go.my 75$ truck.
OK.Please dont poke fun or anythin,but ive decided ill give one of these build threads a go.
Now,im goin in as a senior in highschool, so i dont have a lot of money.But thats no excuse to half-a$$ anything. My names Dylan Martin.im 17 I live in mohave valley,az.(30 mins from lake havasu,were along the river.)In otherwords, hell.its 117 out right now. I dont have a garage,yet.its being built.So I do all my stuff in my 10'w x 15'L shed. Anywayss.. at 14 i pulled a 1967 c10 lwb fleetside with a turbo 400/327 sbc out of my friends grandmas backyard not knowing what it was,it was a CHEVY and a truck so i wanted it.She told me 100$.SOLD! Its sat ever since. I since then restored(to an extent) and drive a 1978 k20 on a 9' lift and 40's.LINK- http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=469569 My plans for this 1967 c10.- --fix all cancer and rust. --100% rebuild on the 327,keeping it for the cool factor,its not gonna be a race truck,why go with the crowd on the 350? --all new rubber. --Rebuild front end,(new bushings joints etc) --add power brakes --add power steering --Pearl white and factory light blue interior --Pearl white exterior paint --a descently low lowering job --maybe 5 lug conversion and throw my crager SS's on it? --disc brakes up front. --eventually a vintage air AC kit. --Make EVERYTHING WORK. --tint windows This trucks going to end up being my driver/trip truck.My goal is to make it VERY comfy/enjoyable.I do NOT want it to overheat,and i want it to be somewhat quiet with a slight rumble to it.nothing too hi-po. A LOT of my mods and fixing-ups will be what you can classify as the " Under 50$ mods". Like rick dale on Ricks Restorations says, ATTENTION TO DETAIL.Except i dont have enough money to make it a show truck. I will be posting pictures on what i have gotten done, and some of the truck when i forst got it. LOTS of questions for me to ask, so i hope atleast a few will follow. thanks guys!
