Finally just drove one home... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Cut a deal on this 67 step side last night. It was so close I could actually just drive it home, don't get to do that very often. Nothing special, 350 small block, TH350 trans, runs good, drives like an old truck. Needs what they all need, not great but better than most of them we drag in.

If we had any like that around here I'd snatch it up. That's just right for a driver while I take my time on a build.

Driving it home reminded me of why 67's are not my favorie models. That small back glass just makes me feel to closed in.

Good luck with it. Looks good

valid point. My issue is i lost the right eye and I need all the viewing area I can get. Not a big deal, just inconvenient.

BugzC10 · 01-25-2016, 04:37 PM

I don't know for sure. I like fleet sides better but it is a pretty good start on a shop truck.

Yes, 67 was the first year. It was nice to not have a trailer for once.
