my new 67

[midniteblues]

I've been looking for another 67-68 since I sold my cbr must've looked at ten differnt trucks in the passed six months and finally came up with this.It was listed as a project on cl. I was the first to look at it and could'nt turn it down after I threw the offer out.I'm all about chevys interchangeabilty but the bed has too go I WILL be changing the bed (when I find a decent one.this is the first "project" I was able to drive home

are these wheels n caps correct for a 67?

I cant believe it didnt even come with a drivers arm rest.
not quite sure what with the gas neck it seem really short.
it was a six now a 283 3spd that runs great
also dont know if its 170,ooo but the od reads 70k
everthing feels good an tight and it drives great
found this in the gb

[midniteblues]

its damn close to my fleetside.

I couldnt get a good pic of the spid with my crappy camrea,maybe later when I can use the kids camrea

Looks like you have a great project truck. I have to agree on the bed, I've never been one to mix years. Although I have seen those hubcaps on other 67s, I can't say they are factory. The arm rest thing is interesting. I didn't have them on my 64-66s but have them on my 68. I see you have a radio delete plate and a new dome light cover. Cool old truck!

looks like a great start and I agree the bed has to go..

[midniteblues]

some things that are differnt than my c1
it has the nite/day mirror
c1 dosent have this flasher knob or the second hole
seat belts
some shots of the c1

[midniteblues]

I didnt mention all the extras c2 came with..
nice 6 lug outlaws
nice used headers
some new straight pipe
new header mufflers
some new chrome engine goodys
just about every new panel for the cab(this box alone almost filled my s10)
a good 67-68 hood (he was gonna make a cowl on this one)
a ugly used t 350 (strange but it has a new converter on it)
another quaderjet
80lb.fact 4bbl intake
and a bunch of small stuff

paging through the owners manual I came across a pasted over correction(kind like a postit) two paragrphs about the brake warning light and the oil pressure guage or light

looks like this order paper has all the info the spid has
the orignal owner kept gas records in the back of the owners manual up too 2595mi.from 7-7-67 only to 10-13-67
he even wrote down the inspection,wierd it was done 8-11-67 an it cost $4.00 + $2.80 for 4 quarts of oil( records indicate it used five quarts in the first 1k mi. then 3 more by 1545mi.)
Imagine a new truck using 8 quarts the first 1500mi I would be taking it back!

Ive never had a protecto plate for a vehicle before cool

[midniteblues]

Lil' over 80 mi.
had a tap an found manifold stud nut missing no more tap
pressure washed the engine,cleaned the ciggarette tar from the interior an changed the oil
guess I'm gonna chuck a eddie performer and hei at it I only need the new plugs yet

scary there is no fuel filter on it so I guess I need that too
