1967 GMC Stepside, Small Window

[Alex72nova]

Hi everyone,

Im new to this forum, and would just like to say hi. I previously had a 72 nova that I restored to a semi street/strip car, until someone ran me off the road and I totaled the Nova =(
Good thing I wasn't at fault, and I had INSURANCE =)
R.I.P 1972 Nova


Well to cut things short, I purchased a 1967 GMC small window Stepside truck a long time ago, and have made that my new hot rod, and been in the process of restoring it.

Here's what I got done so far (feel free to comment) :
- Brand new interior; dash, carpet, seats, weatherstripping, repainted everything, etc. almost everything is new besides dash gauges
- Had the door jambs professionally aligned and set with new everything, new window cranks professionally done
- tilt column
- Windows have been re-seated and sealed with new rubber
- re-located fuel to rear with a 16g fuel cell
- early classic 4-6" drop kit with leaf springs
- American Racing rims with 255 in the front and 275 in the rear (soon to be 295)
- brand new 327 that was rebuilt with 2.02 fuelie heads, mild rv cam, pete jackson noisy gear drive, estimated hp is about 300-325 (not bad for a original 215hp block)
- after polished aluminum headers, have stainless steel 2.5" exhaust w/ magnaflow mufflers.. soon to be flowmasters off the nova..it's dumped off in the middle of the truck right after the mufflers with downpipes
- transmission rebuilt th350 w/10k miles
- rear end rebuilt 3.42 gears with an LSD
- new Vintage air and heat
-The whole undercarriage was sanded and sprayed, so basically rust free

*since last week, i have installed a new ACCEL vaccum HEI distributor (to get rid of points) and msd 8.5mm wires.

* the interior is basically brand new, just some minor scratches here and there since it has been sitting and worked on.


*there is probably more things that have been done to it, I just cant remember...ohh like a new driveshaft haha!!
