Hi I'm New

[vincep]

I'm new & looking forward to Joining the board. My wife has been hounding me for years that she wants a custom pickup. So I found her a 67. I'll bring it home Friday. This will be her truck and her project and I'll be adviser and shoulder to cry on when she screws up. To build the truck I've offered her my 85 pro streeter Silverado for parts. The game plan may be to remove the cab from the tired fram and mount it to 73 frame that's under the 85 model.
This will cut her cost on building the truck she wants. It also gets me out from a truck that is no longer legal because of changing inspections laws.

I have a question has anybody compared the frame of a 73 to a 67. I'm wonder if cab mounts would be in the correct area. and if the floor pans are similiar. The floor pan on the 67 is in some need of work and I wouldn't be opposed to making a custom floor if we had too.

I'm not concerned about wheelbase and other such things I can move the rear end to whatever position it needs to be in.

With any luck she'll have a real sweet ride with 4 wheel disk brakes, power windows and doors, air and a powerful motor with 4 speed.

suggestions and ideas anybody?
