WOW....what a score , cant wait to see more pics !

**CC69Rat** · 06-13-2012, 03:34 PM

I'd have a rollback hookin chains to it right now

I wanna see it out of the shed thing. Is it rusty in the foors / rockers?

67barnfind · 06-20-2012, 01:21 PM

Well, from what I can feel, it's super solid in the rockers and cab corners. I can't get under the truck to see the floors.. I know, I know, I'm planning on getting it pulled out this Saturday. LOL... I'm excited to check out all of the "trouble" areas myself. I will get pics up this weekend.. I did do some research after my last visit there and it still has the orig 327 4barrel in it. It still has the 3 on the tree. I've got a tilt column for an auto, but thinking about keeping the orig. column and shifter. After talking to the orig. owner he said that he was having trouble from day 1 with the linkage binding up so.. maybe a floor shift is in order.. I don't know which way to go yet. I enjoy banging through the gears so I'll probably stick to a manual set up.. Anyone need a tilt column for an automatic ??

I sent you a PM interested in your column.

abebummy26 · 06-20-2012, 10:37 PM

Ok, pulled out of the weeds. I think I got taken on this one. The owner is a little up there in years and seems to have remember things that he forgot to mention when we first talked about me buying this. Apparently, it's got a '68 bed on it, with the marker lights filled. And it's missing a hubcap. I probably should have left it sit.. LOL... Anyway, its out now and doesn't look too bad after a quick car wash. I will get more detailed pics up tonight.

my trucks TWIN !!! that is what mine looked like the whole 25 years that my grandfather drove it !

67barnfind · 06-25-2012, 03:18 PM

I kinda like the black with red interior, don't know if I want to go back to a powder blue original color. I've got to say, I don't remember ever seeing one without at least a little rust in the rockers and cab corners or floors.. I'm glad I joined the site and looking forward to getting some ideas on which way to go with this "last hoorah". Got the kids ready to go cleaning out what's left of the interior. More pics here in a little bit... Thanks all...

67barnfind · 06-25-2012, 09:14 PM

Who says you can't polish a terd... lol. Little polishing compound and some rubbing.. Man, what a difference.!!

firedog · 06-25-2012, 09:26 PM

who cares if it is a filled 68 bed that truck is sharp!

**CC69Rat** · 06-25-2012, 10:24 PM

I would have never noticed the filled 68+ bed.. my grin would have been making my eyes squint too much.

I know what you mean about polishing one up! It looks great man.

Ear to ear !!!! This truck is more and more impressive the deeper I dig into it..

67barnfind · 06-26-2012, 08:16 AM

Floor, cab corners and inside rocker panels.. I think I'm just going to get door handles (one broken), a new gas tank, carpet kit and a door/window weatherstrip kit, one hubcap and just RUN IT, as is....

k5warwagon · 06-26-2012, 08:46 AM

Holy poop! That is an awesome find!
Congrats man. I'd keep it like that until I had everything bought and ready for the transformation.....and drive the pee out of it in the meantime!

ColoradoK5 · 06-26-2012, 11:38 AM

Man great find!! i like your new plans for it!!

Rusbuilt · 06-26-2012, 11:42 AM

I've been seeing alot about a truck show in White House,TN. on the threads. Is it worth driving 6 1/2 hours to go to? Parts, swap meet, show, etc? Just trying to get involved in some local (somewhat) events to pass the summer weekends when I dont go home. Any suggestions?

Oh yes! You need to come, I am spending the summer with my wife's family in east Tennessee working on their home. ( a ton of hail damage) Anyways I could meet you in Knoxville and we could have us a little C-10 caravan!

67barnfind · 06-27-2012, 11:09 AM

I'll bring a tow strap if I can't get mine running... Think anybody would notice.. LOL

Str8-6-68 · 06-27-2012, 11:25 AM

Wow, awesome find! I wish my 68 was as fresh as this 67. This should be a beauty truck in the end!
