The drivers wheel and the alignment need attention for sure..... I took a 3 lb hammer to the steering box to get it removed. No worries....gots a 71' disc front ready to install after the frame shortening and the sandblaster!!!!

GREASEMONKEY72 · 07-10-2007, 04:13 AM

What kind of shape is the box in? I need a left long bed side. Interested in selling?

Ready for the cab removal. Gonna pull the cab with my engine hoist. I started grinding on the firewall removing the small amount surface rust. Firewall to be shaved.

Now to get to real work, lol.

glock35ipsc · 07-10-2007, 09:38 AM

Damn, I guess I had better get the shop cleaned up!!!!!!

glock35ipsc · 07-10-2007, 10:13 AM

If all else fails, I still have a gooseneck flatdeck. It has a winch, I just need to replace the solenoid.

ColoradoK5 · 07-10-2007, 11:00 AM

Alex Looks good! I had talked to you about spray in liner in my Blazer But The Motor finally died. Looks like a really good start and can't wait to see more done.

ChevyDude · 07-10-2007, 11:41 AM

I remember! Agree, I think this is a great truck to start with! Going to go slow and do it right. Lots of OverKill things planned.

powell72 · 07-10-2007, 07:10 PM

Alex, you and Bob are welcome to use my car trailer when the time comes to save Bob some work.

glock35ipsc · 07-10-2007, 07:23 PM

Alex - I would leave it as a roller. Easier to move around, and it helps when it is time to pull the two halves together.

Chris - That would be awesome! My gooseneck is heavy. Does yours have a 6-way or 7-way plug? I have an adapter if it is a 6-way. You wanna go too when the day comes?

Sure, I'm up for a ride. It has no brakes, flat four, but I have the adapter for 6 to 4. Not like we'll need brakes for a roller frame anyways.

glock35ipsc · 07-11-2007, 09:29 AM

OK, I'll grab my 7 to 6 adapter, then we can plug yours into that one. Wait, I might have a 7 to 4 adapter. I need to look in the shop.

ChevyDude · 07-13-2007, 06:28 PM

Had just a lil' time today to yank the old tired 307 engine out. Little more progress, cab comes off next!!!

ChevyDude · 07-11-2007, 12:31 AM

I'll ready the frame down on this end....really appreciate the help!!!

LUV2XCLR8 · 07-13-2007, 07:10 PM

Sheesh, nice truck to start with, nicer plans for it, and must be nice to be moving that fast

Yes yes...I feel VERY lucky to have found it (I had been looking for the "right truck" for almost a year) ,...and then to have had the opportunity to buy it. It was a REAL deal for $960.00! I have some really nice plans for her. New short bed with an oak floor, 5 speed, nicely massaged 350 or 383, ECE on the corners, sway bars front and back....not telling the color right now but she will be two tone. I'm a savin' and a savin' every day budgeting and a planning.

pharcydekm · 07-13-2007, 10:45 PM

Hey all you Colorado folk. I am moving to Englewood in about 10 days. Would love to meet up with you guys sometime. My truck will be staying behind for a few months until our house here sells. Anyway Alex that Truck is kickin I would kill to get my hands on a truck that clean! I really want to build another 67 SWB for a daily driver. Anyway keep the pics coming I know it is going to be great!

Thanks,
Ken

ChevyDude · 07-16-2007, 06:16 PM

Little more done today. Got the cab completely stripped down. Just need to remove the keyed ignition...the old big paper clip trick. The wiring harness was as original and not one cut in it anywhere!!! It is amazing to me!!!
