Re: My first build-1967 C10 LWB
Sorry guy's haven't had much time lately to share my progress-finally some nice weather so I could actually work on truck. I'm doing some body work right now and replacing all of the gaskets on the motor. I should be primering the truck this week end if all goes well and it should be up and running again. I was sanding down the driver side of the bed and I think it had more bondo then anything lol. I'll post some more pic's tomorrow because i need to sort through them.

Re: My first build-1967 C10 LWB
Yeah well when i started to primer it it looked like sh*t so i sanded it down to bare metal. I used 60 and 80 grit and a palm sander. The guy i bought the truck from did that i don't know what he was thinking, so now i get the luxury of trying to fix it. Yeah my cap is so rusty i think i might just have to replace it.

Re: My first build-1967 C10 LWB
The guy I bought it from cut the roof off to pull a dent (was a construction truck for the first part of its life) and never finished the job. Then he tried to use a stick welder to weld it back on The valve covers were on the truck when I got it, but the 327 I found out is actually not original so I'm not sure exactly what year the motor is.

Re: My first build-1967 C10 LWB
I bought a barden bumper yesterday and got it cleaned up/painted today. I didn't get any pics after paint but here are some before shots.
I was going to primer the truck today but it was too windy to paint, hopefully I can do it tomorrow.

I ordered a new driver side rocker panel yesterday and my brother started cutting the old one out today. We found some more rust unfortunately so I am going to need to do a little more work then I thought, but hey, atleast I'll be getting it fixed. I'll post some pics in a few minutes (found my camera haha)

Re: My first build-1967 C10 LWB
Nice!
I found a guy parting a truck out on craigslist, and he has small window cab. He sent me a couple of pics, and it looks pretty clean but I am going to take a look at it this week and hopefully be swapping cabs in the next couple of weeks if all goes well. I'll post some pics of it when I look at it on Wednesday or Thursday.

Re: My first build-1967 C10 LWB
I was just talking to the guy with the cab and he said he does not have a title for it, only a bill of sale. Is this something to be concerned about?
