Re: post your 67-72 4x4
Thanks guys, I appreciate the compliments, I cant take much credit for the appearence. I bought the truck mostly the way it sits and I can tell you that the pictures dont tell the entire story.
The truck is not original at all, I am unsure of the engine itself, but it has a Turbo 350 (instead of P/G). The truck has a cowl hood (that doesnt fit worth a damn, the entire front clip needs to be regapped, and the body work wasnt done correctly. The back sides of the rockers were "patched" together, the right rear fender has bubbles/rust showing through, the paint is peeling in several areas.... The truck will need to be redone to get to my standards (to say to least), but its a driver for now and I enjoy it. I paln on doing a Blazer tank swap, lifting it, 35's, new wood bed floor, etc. Repaint the Torch Red someday....

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
what a beautiful vehicle !even though your remarks reveal that you are a perfectionist...it sure looks like a fun ride...
I am a bit torn myself as to whether or not to paint mine or just keep waxing the original paint...I really love the dark green color from '67...and it does eat up the wax!...my '67 CST also comes from Colorado...so I am blessed w/ a super body for a 43 year old vehicle... ...but I like just riding mine as well...it walks the dog in 4WD...I moved to Virginia (shenendoah)from a 1000 acre ranch in Co...so life here is a bit more tame...but folks here love the shape of the old ride...somehow havingt the original paint and interior does has an interesting effect...the truck only has 67k originall miles...it was a familys camper truick and just rode in summers etc... I have to fix the rear body mount( the dry rot has caused a little slip)...I am going to put on some air shocks too to get the rear up a little...other than getting some new rubber this fall I am probably just going to leave it alone for the winter...I did get rid if the original split rims...nobody wanted to work on them... enjoy everyones posts...t |
