Re: '67 Short Step #2
That thing would be a heck of a mud racer if you left the original tires on it.

Re: '67 Short Step #2
Some progress is better than no progress. Looks good so far! Which mig did you order?

Re: '67 Short Step #2
This was waiting for me when I got home today. It's got a few dings but I love the look of the Chevrolet script valve covers.

Re: '67 Short Step #2
I'm lovin' me some chrome 6er goodies.
good looking build, especially in the aftermath. and cheers to keeping the 250, man. it's going to be a slick, slick ride. then when you pop the hood, and people can see ground through the engine bay...really watch their jaws drop. . -Sam.

Re: '67 Short Step #2
Thanks!
Yeah, I'm kind of strange so I like to do things like spend twice as much money on a 250 to get the same power as a 350. But it will set it apart from the majority adding some extra cool factor. Last edited by kyull67; 02-08-2008 at 12:19 PM. |

If my truck still had the 6 in it when I got it, I wouldn't have gone with a V8. In fact the engine I will put in it is a '67 283 (sitting in my shop ready to rebuild) to replace the 305 in there now. (From a '85 buick). Call me crazy for going with a "smaller" motor and not going with a 350. But again, like you said, everyone goes with a 350 and I like being different. The chrome cover looks awesome and so does the truck. Nice clean project to start with. Can't wait to see it finished. D

Re: '67 Short Step #2
I like this truck !!
I would like to say something about the six cylinder's that most people don't think about ,,,, in my case for my personal use the six cylinder's are great , I live in a small town and these six's get great gas milelage they are good on hill's and NEVER give any trouble I can go out and hit the key on my 67 if it's 100 degree's or 20-below and she will fire right up and take me anywhere I want to go !!! and where did you get that chrome valve cover ????

The valve cover is actually from an old tractor with the chevy 250 in it. |

Re: '67 Short Step #2
Man you lucked out on those inner rockers. Floors look good too, or is that an illusion?
Forgive me if this has been mentioned somewhere, but I've looked for your tire size and can't find it anywhere in your thread.

Re: '67 Short Step #2
Here's the drivers side. Tires are 235/55/R17 on 17x8 wheels.
The floors are pretty solid, I'll only need to make a few patch panels there. |

Re: '67 Short Step #2
THAT IS LOOKING GOOD !!!!!!!!!
and I would like to say also that I like your method of building the truck , that is the only way to build an older vehicle , what I am refering to is how that you are removing all the old paint and gunk !!!! lot's of guy's try to just paint and primer over all the old stuff , but I found out a long time ago it's better to go to the metal then build it back up , if you use any type of good quality primer over your bare metal it make's a lot better job later , good loking work and also from the pic's that is good truck to work with ,,,, can't wait till you get it done ,,, Brad

Re: '67 Short Step #2
Thanks Brad!
I hope to have it finished in about 3 months, so I've got some work to do. I've already accomplished in seven months what it took me two years to do the first time! |

Re: '67 Short Step #2
I had a few hours to work on the truck today.
Check out my hidden CD player. The CD player folds down and out when ejecting and will open the radio delete plate door on its own with the touch of the remote. I would show you but I don't want to bother with taking it back out before paint. Then I cut out the rusty passenger side kickpanel and made some patches. It doesn't look good but they will be covered in speakers and upholstery anyway. Last edited by kyull67; 03-02-2008 at 09:41 AM. |

Re: '67 Short Step #2
This morning I finished replacing the rusted out passenger side kick panel and then repaired the innner rocker. The divers side isn't nearly as bad and should only take maybe an hour to fix and then I'll be putting in new rockers.

Re: '67 Short Step #2
Time for my weekly five picture update. I've finished repairing both driver and passenger side inner rockers, floors, and kick panels. Now I need to order my rockers and cab corners and I should be spreading body filler by the time it gets warm in a couple of weeks. The kick panels kind of look like ass but they will get seam sealer, upholstery, and speakers so I'm not too worried about it. Does anyone have any recommendations for a vendor for my rockers and other parts? I usually use Manes but I don't live close to them anymore.
I can't wait to finish this thing, I go to college at MSU so I've decided to do sober driver once or twice a week with it to keep some of the drunkards off the streets. |

Re: '67 Short Step #2
Are you going to coat those rusty areas with some POR 15 before you put your new rockers and replacement panels in? You wouldn't have to worry about rust again and it would be a great time to do it. ...Joe
