About a car(and this is in the right section)

[special-K]

That`s right!This IS the 67/72 trucks board,right?Well,my sister had this car when we were younger.It was a cool and sizeable American thing from 1967.Kinda looked like a`55 Chevy,but it was a`67 4 door sedan.The 327 ran great and shifted real good through that TH400.Although the dash was factory,all the gauges were Stewart Warner.The 12-bolt rear in that car had a posi unit in it,too.It was hard to believe a car built in`67 would have 6-lug wheels,but it did.One rainy day she slid into a curb and it bent her spindle.An unusual car like this could be tough to find parts like that.I mean,how many Checkers do you ever see?That`s one great thing about those Checkers.I just went to the junk yard and got a spindle/knuckle off a`70 Chevy truck that was there and had her running that evening.
Those things were built right onto a Chevy/GMC 1/2t truck chassis with all GM drivetrain.I always wanted to find a standard wagon(4dr)and put the drivetrain from a GM 4wd under one to end up with a Suburban-like wagon that was unique and yet you could bolt GM parts on it all day long.Next time you want something different.Think about a Checker sedan with ECE 4/6 drop,4wheel discs,Bad Rat motor.....Or,how about a farm beater...3/4t suspension,old 8-lugger split rims,5 colors,chickens and goats in the back seat...
Here`s an ad for those who don`t know the cars:
