Project: 67 C20 Farm Truck

[ed2552]

Well, I suppose it's time to throw a thread in here, been a while since I've been on this forum.

Here's my 67 C20. Currently has a 250 CID I6 and a 4 speed Manual. Only other option is the Deluxe Heater and the front sway bar, lol. We bought it April 2009 at an auction for $1200, and it still has the original warranty booklet, protect-o-plate, owners manual and the build sheet.

Pictures of the day we got it, sideboards and all, lol:







It was still rolling on the stock 17.5" wheels and bald front tires, and rear tires that had a good bit of tread, but were still probably 15 years old. The brakes had been degrading for 2 years, barely worked at all. Over spring break I did the front brakes, turned the drums, new wheel cyls, shoes, soft lines and bled the brakes. Still almost no pedal, which I'm thinking is the Master Cyl.

Yesterday we finally got some new wheels and tires on it. Cragar Soft 8 16x8 chromies with 265/75R16 Firestone Transforce tires. Today I washed and waxed it, and cleaned the interior and got rid of the crappy cloth seat-cover.

Pics I took this evening:









Next thing is fix the brakes, then I'm going to upgrade to LED Taillights and Halogen headlamps for safety. This winter I plan on swapping in a 350 Crate motor with a little hotter cam to replace the leaking 250. Eventually we'll replace the slight rust it has and get some fresh paint (Stock Colors of course!). I'll post more as I go!
