New Member and New Project Truck

[67C10Step]

Hello everyone. New member here and posted up in the Welcome section just yesterday. Thought I'd jump in with a few photos of my project truck.

As I posted in my other thread I had a line on this truck for about two years but just wouldn't make the leap due to considering family expenses first. Well, last May was my 25th wedding anniversary and my wife made a deal on the truck (buddy of mine) and had it delivered as my anniversary present.

It's a rather low optioned 1967 but the real appeal was it had not been hacked on by PO's through its life. Does have an early 90's seat in it, but that may or may not change. Still has the original 283, three on the tree, and even has the original oil bath breather that is listed on the SPID. The only thing missing under the hood was the washer bottle but the glass bottle and bracket were still there.

Truck was originally a fleetside but my buddy was going to make a stepside out of it. He decided he had too many project trucks and offered me this one because I had a 1970 stepside as a teenager and have wanted another one.

In the bed of the truck is a TH400 transmission, shift linkage, power steering box, pump, brackets, and lines from a 1973 truck, as well as spindles and all the steering linkage from the 1973 as well. Brake booster and master cylinder too, but the only usable parts are the brackets. Also another set of great condition rear fenders, although they are 68-72. 67 stepside fenders are like looking for unicorns.

Current plan is to get it running (have got that complete for the most part) and am now just starting to go through the brake system to get it functional. Not too worried about road worthy yet, just so it will move and stop. Will probably then jump into converting it to power steering, power brakes, and front disc. Drive it crusty for a while before the "real" project starts.
