67 Chevy LWB Stepper RestoMod - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm new to the board but let me give you all a quick history of my love affair with the 67-68 trucks. When I was 17, I bought my 68 LWB from my uncle for 1000 bucks. Truck was incredibly solid (except for rockers) and I loved that truck. well long story short, I was 19 and 2 engines later, It was parked in front of my house when a drunk hit it. bent the frame, dented the bed shape into the cab, completely obscured the bed etc. I was younger then, and dumb, and I sold it. I was mad at it when I sold it, then I was mad at myself for selling it. I have been itching for one ever since. I ran across this and after selling my wife's ford, I bought it and a plethora of parts.

My vision of my truck is a clean, streetable truck, with modern day reliability and good power. I am building a "center bolt head" vortec 350 for it, and im gonna slap a tpi on it. Have 700r4 with transstar stock stall converter, management for the TPI is a megasquirt MS-II V.3.0 and custom built relay/junction box. of course I have the HEI dizzy, and some nameless headers etc. Others have reported 24-26mpg with this set up

When I had my 68, I always admired the 67 small back window, so I went with it because I love the grille look and window

I Paid 700 for it with wheels and new tires... not to bad I guess

I have my work cut out for me, wood bed is rotted, interior is ok, and body is pretty rust free. It was originally a blue truck, painted fleet white (really thick) by the KRUM, TX ISD.

The bed is pretty beat, I have a decent (for parts) fleetside bed if someone local wants to trade me parts for the stepside bed, I need the bed front, tail gate and some floor metal strips... The fleetside bed I have is rust free but the sides in the front of the wheel arch are bent from my DUMB ROOMMATE dragging it across the yard to move it. Front, floor, wells and corners are pretty good and I think it could be straightened. I also need a 67 pass front fender (no hole) and a driver's door.

PICS!!!!
