Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)

This truck isn't a true restoration to original. All those details like knobs and which door handles you have are really up to you and your vision of the what the truck will be. This is a full on custom truck and things like that are for a different crowd. There will be be no mistaking it for the 67 it is.

67 radios have smaller chrome knobs. You can always swap them later if you find a set. Door handles and window cranks are different, seat belts are unique, etc, but don't sweat the small stuff.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)

No-one came off wrong in my opinion ! This board is a great educator i sure dont proclaim to know everything about these trucks !! I do like people sharing this kind of stuff with me....i have some of the original parts being restored like the 67 buckles for the seat belts , and the e-brake , but i wasnt even thinking about the dash and i didnt know the radio knobs were different ! I will never be offended about someone else sharing information or opinions ! That is what i love about this board there arent any JERKS on here every other board i have heard of, is full of jerks cutting down everyone elses stuff....i wouldnt be on here if that was the case ! Share your opinions and ideas !

At this rate you won't be able to see out of your back window for all the stickers you'll have to rock.
