Added hub cap and a bow tie to the hub cap.
It took longer than expected.

Should be plenty of C50's in Kansas! Just cut the frame behind the cab and add a Topkick rear frame and shorten a 10lug front axle drop it in. And you'll be driving one!
Brake lines are next for me then paint.
Thanks!

Man I would love to drive that thing around in my area.

I agree on the disc v. drum issue. Why would GM design a vehicle that would not stop properly??? Added PB to my 68 shorty and it stops just as I'd like it to.

texasld · 12-05-2014, 03:12 PM

Just a little rust repair!

Sure do wish these patches fit a bit better.

barmanvarn · 12-05-2014, 11:30 PM

Did a temp primer/paint job on another rusty wheel off the truck. 2 down, 3 to go.

**Bob B.** · 12-06-2014, 03:50 AM

Used the '67 to pick up a Christmas tree! V-6 had no problems hauling it home.

Good to hear trucks being used for hauling stuff for the family!

zamboni2354 · 12-06-2014, 09:35 AM

Installed new headers and sparkplug wires

Started working on a little rust area

Almost done with it.

Had the exhaust installed

Hoping to get the cab back on the frame soon.

I brought my truck home.

Lees68GMC · 12-06-2014, 03:32 PM

Had a Great Day, had my nasty old bed media blasted, then Tim spray urethane primed it. The majority of my truck is original paint with some spray bombed areas but, as you can see from the Before and After shots, the bed was just too nasty in comparison to the rest of the truck now for my taste.

that bed looks real good, came out real nice...

tinsoldier · 12-06-2014, 04:07 PM

Finally got around and installed a Holley Projection 2d that I picked up from Craigslist a while back. I am so glad that I did. I was getting tired of the old Rochester that had a broken choke, constantly thirsty for gas, would dies at the red light, and over all piece of #$%$#^ technology.

The installation was not that bad. I did buy a O2 sensor to make it into a close loop. Holley is definitely making a killing at the throttle brackets and all the accessories to go with the installation. Had to buy all new bracket to get the geometry right for the 700r4 cable.
Video of the first start after installation below.

barmanvarn · 12-12-2014, 06:34 PM

I'm not doing the "cool" stuff yet but today at least I managed to replace the old truck cover with a new one from LMC.

Man, that think fits like a glove. Am very pleased with it.

sorry, no pics.

texjake · 12-13-2014, 10:18 PM

I got rid of the old Quadrajunk & installed a new Holley Street Avenger 670cfm carburetor today. It sure runs better too. I changed out the jets from 65 primaries & 68 secondaries to 68 primaries & 72 secondaries. I did this hearing that those Street Avenger carbs run on the lean side with the factory jets.

Possmguts · 12-13-2014, 11:07 PM

sanded a bit more on the cab is all... this part sucks

Elliot949 · 12-13-2014, 11:19 PM

I walked out to the garage and set on a chair and looked at it...

dirtyjim · 12-14-2014, 08:39 PM

installed drop spindles and discs on the 67

2.5" drop? I would love to see what the stance is with wheels and tires.

Possmguts · 12-14-2014, 08:52 PM

.... more sanding....

it has front coils from a late 80's suburban with a little over one coil cut.
front tires are 275/45r20, back still needs to come down 2" but I can live with a little rake for now.

Got my PB crossmembers in and mocked up my Boyd tank.
