Nice Looking Truck!!!

Here is my to-do list:

#1 Remove the door glass and replace all weatherstripping and replace the regulators.
#2 Install insulation behind the door panels.
#3 Remove the seat, carpet, and fuel tank and install insulation behind tank and on the floor. Clean out the tank.
#4 Replace the dash pad and carpet.
#5 Install new wood grain instrument cluster.
#6 Drive it!!!

72armyswbtruck · 09-27-2007, 08:58 PM

#1: Get the bed lined with ameriliner
#2: Get cab sand blasted and turned over to a bodyman
#3: What ever money will alllow

19673ontree · 09-27-2007, 09:00 PM

you know I have drove the wheel's off my 67 this summer !!!!!
but yea drive it is on the list too ,

**70cst** · 09-27-2007, 09:10 PM

If all goes well my 70cst will be in the body shop for a 100% resto. After 37 years this will be her first fixin up including having the 402 rebuilt, suspension lowered and gone through, new interior, paint, brakes, tranny, etc. It has taken me six years to get to this place. It will be a DD and not a trailer queen.

drman929 · 09-27-2007, 09:11 PM

I'm in the process of turning this into something blue with a silver top.

67_C-30 · 09-27-2007, 10:22 PM

I plan on finishing the rest of the bodywork and painting my 67 C-30. I recently finished shortening the frame, mounting the bed and new rearend, and fabricating the rear dually flares using stepside fenders. I am painting the truck black, and I have always planned on using chrome the grill accents and bumpers, but your '67 has got my me kinda wanting to paint my grill inserts, bumpers and dually rims white. That is a great looking truck, and is a welcomed change of pace in the

age we live in!!

Here's a few pics of the beast so far. I don't have any pics of it with the outside wheels mounted yet, so it still kind looks funky!

67ChevyRedneck · 09-27-2007, 10:23 PM

Drive it.

Maybe finish the inside of the bed?

brianthelion02 · 09-27-2007, 10:25 PM

Drive it!!!!!!!!!Winters here are beautiful!!!!!!!!!

corn · 09-27-2007, 10:28 PM

Hmm, lets see...

Carpet, converter, gears, traction bars, bed cover, body work, details, details, details... Ill only get 1/4 of it done though...

1bad chevy · 09-27-2007, 10:32 PM

we'll let's say iv'e started my winter project early with engine swap sbc355 to a bb gm 500 caddy and she is runnin fine

then i swapped out the fenders' and now i'm gettingready to #1rockers and cab corners #2repair drivers side of box #3pull motor and rebuild with upgrades through mts (maximum torque specialty's) #4paint it not sure on color or color's yet want something wild #5wheels and tires next thing is doing it or should i say making time to do it lol

Yeller68 · 09-27-2007, 10:34 PM

1 Work in the interior, bezel, dash pad, etc..
2 Fix oil leak, and replace valve stem seals.

(thats not fun stuff , doesn't make it prettier, shinier)
3 Front end stuff, ball joints, whatever else it needs.
4 Try to drive it when I can

**67 cst swb** · 09-27-2007, 11:02 PM

Everything...
My pan is to have this on the road by late-Winter/Early-Summer '08...
all I really need is good used black interior stuff, i.e... Seat, visors, dash pad, carpet, etc... I already have everything else for it or planned on buying new anyway

Sequoyah · 09-27-2007, 11:34 PM

get the back half of the truck put back together (down to the frame), tear apart the front suspension after that's done.

2bits · 09-27-2007, 11:59 PM

I plan to be done with the frame and bed swap and interior resto and just drive and enjoy it, and do small upgrades rather than huge repairs.

retselgerg · 09-28-2007, 12:24 AM

#1 New Windshield & Paint
#2 New Doors
#3 5 speed
#4 New Rims maybe
#5 relocate the gas tank

lbpd719 · 09-28-2007, 12:55 AM

Weld up holes in doors from PO mirrors
Patch Dash holes
Prep inside for paint

If I can accomplish those 3 things, I will be golden..

Same around here. We may get 1/2" of snow once every 2 or 3 years and EVERYONE FREAKS OUT

Back when I lived in NY I used to have to park the truck from about October to about April. As soon as that first snow fell I swapped trucks for my old 86 yota beater I used to have....

I get the biggest kick out of driving it in the "winter"

C203/4 · 09-28-2007, 09:39 AM

my plans are to paint it yellow, interior has this chartruse yellow but does anyone have any pics of canary yellow?

glock35ipsc · 09-28-2007, 10:10 AM

My plan is to finish it! Plan on driving it (hopefully) by Spring.

**Yukon Jack** · 09-28-2007, 11:20 AM

I'm gonna install a Dana 60 front axle in my 69 K20 and I would also like to make a modification to how the BBC is sitting so I can reduce my body lift a bit.

No projects planned at the moment for my 70 K5.
