67 GMC midnight money pit
Finally starting on on my project, the pics are kinda crappy and there is stuff piled in the box and on the hood because I only have a 2 car garage,not much room in there for storage and work. My oldest boy calls the truck Mater,cause its all rusty and stuff,lol. Took the left box side off to cut and section it to make it a short box. Sand blasted some hinges and latches for the tailgate. I will be measuring and cutting the boxside tomorrow.I will post some pics soon.

Re: 67 GMC midnight money pit
Mad prop's to ya' for jumpin' right in! Glad to see you salvaging another GMC. Don't get me wrong- I'm totally down with the bowties, but there's something about a custom GMC that just rocks! Maybe it's the fact I have a '67 sitting in my garage that makes me biased. Nonetheless- nice project and good luck to ya.

Re: 67 GMC midnight money pit
Here are the pics of what i got done, got the front cliptaken off, the front fenders were rotten and damaged beyond repair,I'll have to get new ones.Took the winshield and rear window out, they are in mint shape.Got the steering column out,(anybody need or want a 3 in the tree column and a 3 speed trans).The floor is in pretty bad shape, I'm not sure what i'm going to do,either repair or replace the entire floor.

Re: 67 GMC midnight money pit
I got my hands on a 1986 gmc 1\2 ton to convert the front suspension and brakes to disc and power and power steering.It will also convert from a 6 bolt lug to a 5 bolt.

Re: 67 GMC midnight money pit
Not much progress these last couple months, been pretty cold lately, no heat in the garage. Hopefully I can get somdone after christmas. I'm trying to get a new job, so then I would be home every night.Then maybe I can get more work done, if the wife doesn't have to many projects for me to do.

Re: 67 GMC midnight money pit
Got the cab taken off now, I got some new tools for my b-day, got a engine crane and leveler. Took the engine out. Got to take the frame to my brother in laws shop so that we and shorten the frame. Ordered some new suspension parts from Porterbuilt Fabrication. I ordered the stage 2 front and rear kits. Thanks Nate for all your help. Hopefully I can get it all painted and put togethere before winter hits so that i dont freeze my but off.
I will post pics of the frame shortening and suspension install.
