Update on my 67 SWB - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ratrod67 · 11-12-2006, 07:54 PM

Well, I had thought about selling my 67 SWB and listed it a couple places including here. Got stood up by a few people and decided not to sell it afterall. Just about have it back together and ready to drive again. Had all of the bodywork done and had it painted BMW Moss Green with a flattener in the clear. Got my steelies and WWW's on as well. At the last swapmeet at Lagrave field I bought a bunch of repop parts for the interior, bumpers, trim, ect. Just waiting to get the seat back from the upholstery shop and finish my gauge cluster. Motor is a sbc and will have a 3X2 set-up on it. Still need to find another carb first.

damn that thing looks sweet

1LoC10 · 11-12-2006, 08:19 PM

that looks awesome, looks like an army truck.. I love all those mossy greens, I was just looking at a new Jeep today thinking about that color

qksilver · 11-12-2006, 08:55 PM

I like that, nice stance

lpaine · 11-12-2006, 08:59 PM

Yet another outstanding truck from Texas, I definitely detect a trend here, hmmmm......

Rick Mills · 11-12-2006, 09:00 PM

I LIKE IT !!!!
The day you sell it you won't be able to buy it back for that price.... It's a keeper!
Love to see pics of the tripower.

how much is your truck lowered, and what parts.

**Palf70Step** · 11-12-2006, 09:32 PM

Great looking truck. Glad you decided to keep it!

ratrod67 · 11-12-2006, 09:48 PM

It has 2 inch drop spindles and 3 inch springs in front. Spindles are Bell Tech and the springs are Ground Force. It has 4 inch DJM springs in back.

Paint the top a darker shade of flat green. That'd set it off. Paint the grill openings white. Truck looks badass and straight as an arrow. Love the wide whites.

Love the white walls and the color of the truck. What brand and size are the tires.

jimmydean · 11-12-2006, 11:45 PM

That is a great looking truck! The black wheels with the moss green is the sweetness.

I am doing something like that with mine, only I went with flat black for the outside and I will do the bumpers and grill in satin black. I might have to go with satin black wheels rather than the red I was going to go with. I will roll a 3" white wall when it's all said and done.

Glad to hear you didn't sell it, I would not be able to part with something that nice.

NitroMike · 11-13-2006, 12:04 AM

Got to love it!

kylejamers · 11-13-2006, 12:07 AM

sick

epthree04 · 11-14-2006, 03:13 PM

very nice! i am going for a very similar look with my truck but with thinner white walls, lighter green, white steelies, and a white top on a 70 lwb

Zumo · 11-14-2006, 03:35 PM

Very nice. It used to be flat black with Street Stars on it right?

We'll have to meet up when I get mine runnin this winter.

Yep. Used to look like this. I've been watching your truck build up. Get the blue finished yet? Maybe we can get a board meet going sometime in the spring. I didn't make it to the last 2.

powell72 · 11-14-2006, 11:42 PM

That's a pretty drastic makeover, looks sweet. Some one suggested paint the roof darker, that would look cool, if you metalflaked the roof that would be the cat's azz.

1LoC10 · 11-14-2006, 11:50 PM

the only thing I think sticks out is the chrome bumper, are you going to do all the grill trim chrome?
