My 67 C20 Mild restoration with LS swap.

[332rick]

Hello to all.
I have been wanting to get my hands on a 67 or 68 for few years now.
Kinda of a mid life crisis present to my self to keep me busy while kids are away to college.
Great project to keep you busy until you wish you had an extra set of hands.

Anyways, i call it mild be but that is far from the truth. The more inwork on it the more i find this I like to fix. I am not aiming for SEMA Show quality but i do want it to be mine and an everyday driver. I bought the truck last September from original owner/ family. Drove it home (about a 250 mile trip) after been siting for a few years. Started right up. Body is straight, the only rust is in the bed (surface rust only) the best conidition I have seen with in my budget range.

The plans are to keep it mostly all original with minor mods.
Paint chasis
Paint body complete (68 chevy turquoise metallic)
Correcting only the small dings not going to take it down to the bare metal
But i will be fixing some holes here and there. As you will see in the pictures to come.
Engine & tans swap (engine from a 2000 chevy Silverado)
New gas tank in rear covering side tank hole cut out.
Currently 8 lugs maybe converting it into 6 or 5 but not in a rush for that.
Keep it long bed

For now I think that will cover my wish list.
I might add to it or shrink it as I go.

Again I am by no means a pro at this.
I am just having fun with it project that has been my dream for sometime now.

Please enjoy and feel free to comment as I go along.
I can sure use the advise / help and members opinions.

Cheers!
