Re: 67 C-10 project.
yes, that's the plan. i just need warmer weather and a engine hoist. more than likely i'll just rent one for a weekend. yeah, the 327 defintely is getting rebuilt. hence the 350...it was just rebuilt and runs great. i think i have sold the inline 6 that's in at well...i think what will happen is since i'm going to replace the front crossmember, i'll completely remove the front sheetmetal, and everything, clean up the frame and get at least the front painted while i have it all apart, then get the crossmeber installed, and the engine and tranny installed and then get the front sheetmetal replaced. i'll have a 68 left front fender to sell if anyone needs one. it's got some damage and rust on the bottom, but it's not horrible. at least the front grill and radiator mounting metal is all straight and everything. i think the firewall will clean up nicely. the inner fender wells are in pretty good shape as well. i just gotta remember it aint no show truck. just clean and functional is what i'm going for for now.

Re: 67 C-10 project.
well, not much of an update but i think it was a major step forward as far as parts go. I went to Arkansas City this morning and picked up a front crossmember from a 73 or 74 half ton. it has power steering an he just cut the frame and left everything on there for me. I paid $200 for the whole thing...i didn't think that was too bad. It was driveable two years ago. Now i have enought parts ammassed i think to get some serious work done! i just gotta get a wood working project finished in my shop and then i'm going to gut it and try and get the truck moved in there and get started on it. it's starting to snow now so i covered the 350 in the back of the truck with some old rugs. i did manage to get the 327 out of the van today and into the garage....yeesh...i gotta get me a shop crane and at least one engine stand!

Re: 67 C-10 project.
Rick,
i'm making a bedroom set out of quarter sawn white oak for a guy here in wichita . A queen size bed and headboard, two nightstands, and a 5 drawer chest/armoire. i've been working on it for months, and the truck and cold weather have really slowed me down....the truck especially!

Re: 67 C-10 project.
Good luck with the project. That is a lot of work, I can tell you from experience. Thought you might be interested in this other little wood project I saw on the board recently. Check post# 179
