See my post above as to what it might be. There's not too much you can do besides this:

- change your oil more often;
- wipe the "coffee" off of your filler cap/PCV and then;
- go for a long drive so that your engine "cooks off" the water.

Hey man any updates on the truck?

67chevylongbed · 03-11-2010, 01:00 AM

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.

67chevylongbed · 03-11-2010, 11:31 PM

As promised, here are some pics.

First, here are the pics of the motor since I've started painting it.

Here are some pic's of the body.

threeonthetree · 03-11-2010, 11:46 PM

doesn't even look like the same truck. what grit are did you use on the bed sides to make them that smooth.?
whats going on with the cab roof?
i remember the first time a i pulled my carpet up and saw the rustttt i couldn't believe it i thought my truck was a bucket of rust.. well it was haha.

67chevylongbed · 03-11-2010, 11:57 PM

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.

threeonthetree · 03-11-2010, 11:59 PM

yeah you live in Cali i bet there's cabs all over the place.
looks good i still don't get whats going on with the roof did the seem break?

also where did you pic those valve covers up junk yard.
do you know what year Chevy motor there off of make and model of the car/truck

67chevylongbed · 03-12-2010, 12:03 AM

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.

67chevylongbed · 03-14-2010, 01:38 AM

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.

67chevylongbed · 03-14-2010, 01:47 AM

Here are some more.

EA69TRK · 03-14-2010, 06:28 PM

Yeah I have been seeing more people from Cali too. I've got a steel bed floor. Got any pics of yours?

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)

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.

67chevylongbed · 04-11-2010, 10:29 PM

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?

mcbassin · 04-16-2010, 09:00 AM

Oh boy! the rust repair begins....been there done that. It's so fun to cut a rocker and see it full of crap!
