Bought me a 2nd 67...

Recently acquired my second 67. Except instead of swb c10 this time I bought a lwb c20. I’ll get pics up soon, however, I have already started working on making her safer on the road. Factory 327, SM465, 2WD. First on the list: Ebrake didn’t work at all... upon investigation found a Dana 60 (not the original axle) that had been haphazardly installed in the back (my 12 year old can lay a better weld) and no e brake cables were present. So I decided why not just do disk brakes all the way around. A buddy has an old totaled square body 2WD 3/4 with the front suspension still intact and disk brakes up front I’ll be robbing parts off of and I picked up a AAM “GM 14 bolt” out of a 99 2500 with 3.73 gears (Dana 60 was 4.10) and disk brakes. Figuring out how to make that e brake system work with the truck took some time but I have an idea and I’ll post pics once I have it working. Also, was given a serpentine belt system off of a 96 4.3 out of an s10 blazer that I’m gonna use and change the truck over to power steering and hydroboost brakes. That should make her turn and stop nicely. After that I will be working on the very minimal rust issues and then I’m gonna try my hand at paint and body. I will post pics of progress as soon as I can.
