Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
I believe you can tell why I want to get it back on the road so badly, a 327/350 will sound very nice with the Cyclone headers and the Flowmasters that are already on it, I am going to keep the HEI ignition and alternator on it, simply for reliability. That exhaust will also help with gas mileage, so will a few custom things I am going to do with the heads. I also plan to put a Gear Vendor overdrive on it for better fuel economy. I also plan to find one of the under the dash air conditioner systems for it.

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
That's going to be a nicely optioned 68! Should sound beautiful with a nice rumble, and nothing beats a 68 50th anniversary, those are just cool. My dads truck wasn't originally a 50th anniversary but we are going to try to paint it like one and clone it from a real 50th..... I still don't know how I'm going to convince my dad to put an original steering wheel and CST horn cap in it.....

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
I will start a thread once I get things ready for the build, Right now I am working on my 70 year old mom's 1984 trans am. that is also going to be a fun project. it has all the optional power toys, none of the body/interior options. I am going to give the 305 HO a bit of a kick.

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
Just read through your build Rick, Very nice. You guys are spoiled out there not having to deal with so much rust and that was a heck of a deal on the new cab you got. My favorite though is the little dude made of engine parts
 That and the trim on the side of your truck, I'm still waiting for you to mail it to me Keep it up and NEVER sell it ! Later

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
hey thanks dan! i actually have a list of people that now want the piston dudes, the girlfriend wants one her uncle wants one and a bunch of people at school wants one. yeah i got lucky with this cab, my dad really didnt want me to get it but i said screw that! im not gonna pass up a factory AC 67 small window cab for a 1/2ton.
today i made it just a little bit nicer. i went to my little parts pile and got a driver door out and cut the driverside speaker hole panel and with just 2 hours of continous little shaving an grinding and fitting i got it tacked in and the back all sanded and primered so tomorrow i will weld it in fully and prime. |

Re: 1967 Chevy CST aka "the loud truck"
thanks 50bomb! today i just hooked up the heater hoses so now i have heat! just need the dash hoses...
also got the air cleaner threaded rod so i can put on my original air cleaner.... with a twist..  compared to a stock 67 breather mine has about an inch and a half less in diameter under the breather so my air cleaner can breath much better then a stock air filter but it still looks completely stock.
