Im thinking drop spindles up front, with disks. I want a set of stock 15x7" steelies and some smaller tires maybe even some white walls. these rims are like 15x10" so there pretty big for the truck.
I wanna make a dirt bike carrier for the bed so i can haul my bikes around.
I wanna lose the three on the tree someday and go 4 speed on the floor.
the box needs to be repainted. haha the maker fills are starting to crack cause i used so much bondo on them, oh well ill run them till they fall out and put the maker back in haha. and the the truck needs two new front fenders. Also need to pull the cab and clip and paint the frame one of these days.

[67chevy1series]

Plus your k5 would still run.

haha like i said man get that bike back together.
yeah yeah thats what i wanna do why sacrifice one running truck when you could rebuild that 69 block. i have to pull it which will be the hardest part cause its way up in the boondocks outside merril. haha

whats the cheapest way to get it running good again. least amount of machine work.. and parts bought.

it'd be cherry in my truck.

[67chevy1series]

sorry most guys miss my posts so i just make sure some times........i dont know if they are rare or not but i want one how mucho for it??????

[Airborne70GMC]

I think this looks great! I wish I could say I have that much done. Heck, I have had my old truck over twenty years now. I am getting my thoughts and head wrapped around things now, and trying to put together a budget. I think I am going to start with the brakes and move to the floor pan. Wish me luck and keep up the good work. We have to keep these classics on the road, ya know? God bless.

Thank you man means a lot when people say my truck has come along ways. I do wish you luck and hope the best for you and your rig. Just take it one part at a time and it will get there. Forsure we gotta keep these old cars and trucks around. Take her easy man.

[67chevy1series]

ahhhhh that sucks i havent seen one truck here in cali with one of those! probably because no one cared about them and threw them away ,or they got the under the bed kind

[grayharville]

Im rebuilding that motor in my blazer, and i should have less than 500 bucks in it. Of course i didnt need any machine work, but summit has SBC rebuild kits with felpro gaskets, and all bearings for under 300 bucks. Who knows, you might get lucky and just need to hone the cylinders, which you can do yourself. Working on these old smallblocks isnt quite rocket science.

Hopefully id get away with just a hone on the cylinders. i know i can rebuild it ive had a few apart but the block was junk on it. its back in this thread
i just gotta pull the motor on the 69.

The connection looks good at the sending unit.. the gauge worked before i parked it last fall. i havent put any gas in till today and i was expecting the gauge to rise but it's still on empty.... all the other gauges work on the dash.

Thanks Rick!!!!!

[67chevy1series]

your welcome buddy!

[Palf70Step]

Mine stuck at the float swing arm location from crud/gas gum-up

[grayharville]

My gas gauge quit workin awhile back, so I tore the tank apart and cleaned up the sending unit, it worked for a few days then stopped again. I said screw this, then found a 1/4 inch plastic rod about 2 feet long to stick down the filler neck to use as a redneck gas gauge. Ive been using it for 2 years and it hasnt broke/malfunctioned yet hahahaaa

[threeonthetree]

Got something done on the old girl today haha not much but

i got a gas pedal from the junkyard so i installed that

also got a window real for the driver side the old one was broken haha.

the gas gauge also just kicked in today when i put gas in idk what the problem was haha.

pics to come... hahaha check the bel airs thread been getting alot done

[threeonthetree]

Awh man one of my filler patches on the box fell out looks like thats the next project. idk if i should just spot repair it or repaint the whole beside. ill prolly just do a spot repair and then eventually paint the whole panel. sucks that these didnt hold in there. the other side is cracking too. but i fixed it once i can do it again right?

got some pics for you guys.
pic of the chevy


pic of this k5 thats up at the junkyard not to far from my house has some potential!

[67chevy1series]

you should help it out and roll up the window and shut the door....when ever i see a truck at a junkyard i always do that if i can just tryin to help stay alive a little longer hahaha

[oldblue1968chevy]

Psh, I leave the door open lol (normally im at the metal recycler though) lol

Well if you closed the door it'd save some of the metal wouldnt it? more weight at the scale?

Heres that snow i was talking about almost a foot overnight... and its still snowing.

[67chevy1series]

wow your bumper is gone! jk its there just belanding in with its surroundings haha

[oldblue1968chevy]

Thats a cool shot, Id set it as my backround.

[75ChevyGuy]

Just read this whole build from start to finish (almost 2 hours)! From what you started with to what you have now is crazy. The fenders on that blazer look like they're pretty useable. Do you still need 2 front ones?
