Hello to all.. Hola a todos

[68gmsee]

Creo que "guardabarro" es "mud guard." Es una parte que no he visto en las camionetas de aqui. Mas bien se utilizaban en los modelos anteriores pero no en los anos 67-72. Quisa es una parte especial que ustedes podian ordenar alli en Argentina.

Looks like a special insert for the stepside fenders. I've seen them in the older pickups but not in the 67-72 models.

GM's use of the earlier style rear stepside fenders didn't find them updating the wheel opening to correllate with the front wheel opening. I know it' a minor point, but we do get anal here...every now and then.

Calculo q en las versiones yankies de camionetas venia caja angosta "como la mia" o caja ancha q seria toda lisa para atras.. en argentina no coincide la linea de adelante con la de los guardabarros como dice ChevLoRay esto debe ser porque al no tener esa opcion, optaron por colocarle las cajas de las camionetas modelo 60, para complacer la demanda.

You have great taste in vehicles. Owning a '69 Camaro is a dream of mine too, along with a '69 Chevelle, 70-72 Monte Carlo, '58 Impala, 55-57 Bel Air, 37/38 Chevy coupe, I could go on and on about the classic Chevy cars and trucks I would like to one day own.

I found two nice 68 chevelles going for around $3000 U.S thats not bad
at all. Camaros....different story. Do you have a picture of a fleetside latin america model? (tienes fotos de van con cama ancha? )

[Yukon Jack]

Welcome to the board - great looking truck/van!

[LONGHAIR]

Hello and welcome.
I really like seeing the foreign-built versions of the things we take for granted. There was a thread some time ago about some trucks/vans with a totally different body, I think they were from Brazil? Of course there are the ones built in Austrailia too.
Here is a modified picture of your truck/van with bigger wheels and lowered as you suggested.

[Jerry Jones]

Nice truck, welcome aboard from Northern California!

Nice photochop longhair!

[thirdstreettito]

Nice truck! Could you tell us more about the scoop on the hood? Is it functional?

sebas213 was asking about the wheel well arch piece that's on your truck. I haven't seen that on other stepsides. Is that a vendor item or is it acquired from previous years?

Disregard.... I just saw that you did that to his truck and it's not one you have...

Ok I understand. My truck have this stepsides original. And I made one small reform on this. This is a original stepside of my truck. I think that here in Argentina in 1969 the trucks are haven't this stepside original, then the factory put the stepside of the truck model 60" if you want. I explain how I can, but it you understood please ask again. thanks

Well I again. I want to show, what I buy. This is a a front part of chassis of a chevrolet silverado 2000. This is to put disc brake to my truck! . How do yoy doing to put disc brake back? I am very happy. long ago that it was looking to buy. and is easy to install. I'am going to draw the front part of my chassis and put this. well this are the pics..

[71tahoe]

Interested in how the disc swap goes. For the back? rear axle? There is a member that makes brackets for camaro calipers but I don't know if they would fit 6 lugnut rotors.

I will find brackets with manual brake. The parts of camaro are difficult to achieve here in argentina, but anyway thanks.

Those are standard south of the border tail lights.

Hey sebas213 -
If you do get/find a V8, how hard is it to build an engine like that down there?

Do you have access to machine shops that can do work on it, and are you able to get other parts for them easily?

well..yes I can, but is more expensive than buying a new one in the U.S. and bring it to pay shipping and customs. A friend built one (v8 of ford mustang 69) of 300.. 350 hp and spending 12000 dollars. Another friend bought a gm 350 with 330 hp, and spending 10 000 dollars put into the car.

Oh the lights are not original, I have to change them but can not find the original here.
