Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II
Nice truck. Its great you have kept it so original. Try and keep it that way as much as you can and as much as your heart will let you. Fads come and go but original body frame sheet metal etc is always in style and the most valuable. 5-10 years from now you probably wont get 10 cent on the dollar for these 22+ chopped up air bag patina trucks most kids are doing today. Just like when I was young. used to put a then new 88 up step side on a 67-72 short bed. Or put an 88 up frame under the 67-72. Or just simply cutting out the radio panel for a CD player or customized dashes with an integrated center console wrapped into it with big seats etc. Who wants that now?

You get the idea. But who wants that now?

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II
Now I feel like I officially belong, rather than just reading and looking at other trucks Picked up this 72 K10 for my next project. It's gonna need a new floor, rockers and cab corners, but the bed is pretty decent

I have to say tracking down the original hubcaps was difficult and expensive (Ebay)

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II
Nice score on the 72, kind of like the wheels, have seen a lot worse..but on that note everyone has their choice and style.

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II
Well sure someone will like the wheel style and more fitting for their build, easy sale for you, so what other wheels do you have, repost when they are on if you get a chance, never to many pic's of nice trucks.

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II
1967 C10 Longbed. Unrestored Southwestern farm truck that we picked up to get it safe, running good, and looking a little cooler.
Day we got it After washing the years of filth off it you couldn't see in the above pic And now a little closer to the ground. A few more mods to do before I am satisfied |

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II
Nice truck Pimie, is it black or really dark grey, hard to tell in the light, but nice either color.
