Merry Christmas Everybody!!

[67chevy1series]

thanks jason!

[JasonBird]

well i guess Santa couldn't get that new 327 motor down the chimney darn it!

i did start up the l6 this morning and found my exhaust leak, it's right at the manifold and it's all welded and ugly looking. i think i'll look for a new one. is it pretty easy to replace? i also found the casting code on the block on the other side and was able to confirm 4.1 litre motor. i'll see if i can get the entire code and figure out what year it is so i can make sure i get the right parts.

well good luck you would probably be better off getting a 283 and finding the ram horns for those

[JasonBird]

i see....well i'll have to think about that. my wife would shoot me if i came home with too many donor vehicles! well here's some pictures that i was talking about...

[67chevy1series]

well just to let you all of these things are different from a 68 72

the knobs for dash lights wiper...etc

the mirror arm bracket

the fresh air vent knobs

the glove box was painted differently

the wing windows are different

and the door handles for window and to open the door from inside all of that stuff you should keep looks like a nice truck you might have custom cab but i dont see holes for trim oh and the passenger fenders are almost impossible to find in good shape for a 67

[JasonBird]

wow! thanks for all of that info! hmmm, a custom cab huh? there is still some chrome trim around the back side of the cab, but that's the only place? i think i'd be happy to have it back to original. any way to tell what engine it came with? i think that the cab and everything is original, the serial number on the sticker for the glove box matches the tag on the door still and the title. the green was the original color, and it came with the push button radio and the 4 speed, and heavy springs. and deluxe air heater thing... so far from what i can tel by scraping away paint and stuff, the bed is original, cab is original, left front fender is not, has a side marker light spot. hood is original, the drivers door is not, a gold color paint. and the engine is not. i think bumpers are . grill i think is original as well. but i think it was painted white? when did power steering come along? in 67 with the 4x4's?

well your welcome frommone 67 guy to another that is good not tring to hawk my stuff but i have a 67 fender for the driver side for sale glad tosee that most is original keep us updated if you decide to put side trim on then you will have it easy theres alot more side trim for long beds then short beds

[JasonBird]

well that's good to know. i may ask you about that fender pretty soon! i'd be all for keeping it original. except for the steering, it's just not fun with the armstrong steering! if the drum brakes are working properly are they bad? if they are perfectly capable of stopping , i'd be content to leave them original as well. i'll get them all working properly and find out. i plan to drive it daily and i guess i'll just fix the things that bother me.
Jason

[67chevy1series]

well as you fix things do them right and you should have a nice truck even when drums are working there best they still dont compete with disk brakes all any 67 owner needs to do is put powere steering and disk brakes
