350 TBI and 350 trans out of a 92' chevy pickup. Long headman headers and cutouts from summit (saving for electronic cutouts) Wheels of all places Costco. All other small parts (lights carpet seat belts and a whole lot more came from Fat Fenders in Fresno Ca. Thanks Gilbert)
Nice truck DJMAN but got a question for ya. Why do you have two adjustable brake proportioning valves installed? It is not recommended to do this as you typically only want one on the rear line. The fronts you want to get full pressure from the MC and then adjust the rear so they lock up just slightly after the fronts do. You never want to limit the front line pressure as it does the majority of the work, especially in a truck.

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks

here is some work that ive already done. not even close to finished under the hood yet though. first picture is where is started when i bought it (minus breather), second pic is where i got to all in one day. new water pump, fuel pump, valve covers, VC studs, and carburetor. its a 600 edelbrock on there, not put on, just there for mock up so i could get the correct length for the fuel line and vacuum hoses. got an edelbrock team1 intake manifold and hooker headers ready to go on as soon as i get my mallory HEI distrubutor paid for.

Looks can be deceiving, one of the reasons I paid waaaay too much for this thing. It needs a floor pan, seats, new bushings throughout, body work, paint, leaking cab ( too many leaks to mention ). 350 motor runs good and was recently rebuilt so hopefully I wont have any major problems with it any time soon. But I bought the truck as a daily driver and a project for my 17 yr old son and me. There should be a lot of father son bonding on this one !!!

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks

There are some really great trucks on here. I am new to this forum and to Chev's having just bought my first one. I am from Durban in South Africa so there are very few around. I had always wanted one so when my car was totalled after just being repaired I figured I needed something stronger to drive and found the Chev below in a town about 400 miles away. I flew up took one look at it and bought it then drove it home the same day. It had no working speedo or fuel guage and having no idea what sort of milage it got I stopped at every gas station on the way. Got back without a problem at all but the next morning I burnt out the starter motor trying to get it started.

I will try to get it looking as good as possible while using it as my daily car.

It is supposedly a 67 Right hand drive with the extended cab and a 327 V8 with an ato box. That is about all I know.

That looks cool! I was always amazed at the different styles of vehicles when I traveled abroad. I spent a couple of months in Cape Town and Port Elizabeth a couple of years ago. I miss South Africa, hopefully I can visit your side of the world again, before too long.
