Looking good,keep on truckin'

[mr.chevy]

Thanks everyone for your comments and compliments. So this is when I say I have done nothing this last month or so. But the good news is that I cleaned up my shop, that always gets me excited. I need to get the other frame cut down so i can get the rest of the body in the shop for the winter and start working.

Thanks again.

I know! Seriously coming fast too. And I went and got sick. Bleh!

[71Sleeper]

Just pop a few pills and get back to it! I know you can! I don't want the next post I read saying something like this "Well guys I didn't get the shop cleaned out enough to bring my truck inside for winter and now it is covered up by all the snow". LOL

LOL Like I haven't been there before. Story of my life.

Wow! Its been a while.

Well not a whole lot of stuff going on in the truck department. I have managed to work on a few things. I have started to strip down the frame a little and I also got a cross member from CPP. Sometimes you can get a real good deal from them on their eBay page.

I have also decided recently that I am going to try and get the truck going by spring, but it will be far from perfect. The body will not be done and the motor will not be built. But you know sometimes you just want to drive it. That and it is going to take a fair amount more in the funds department than I seem to have. So I figure if I drive it for a few years and try to get parts and then do some little things here and there, I will enjoy it more than I am right now. So I have a list of things that I am going to have to do before then so stay tuned. If I can ever find some time.

Here are some pics of recent progress

[67chevy1series]

[VA72C10]

sounds like a good plan! Always more encouraging when you can drive it.

[FrankieD]

I know what you mean but at least you aren't at the mercy of someone else for work space.

[oldtinrods]

That GMC looks nice, Utah should good pickings for older trucks I saw quite a few nice ones last time I was out there, my son was stationed at Hill AFB.
I was also looking at a couple of other trucks then I looked around an decided that I better stick to one project at a time, but then my brother does have a farm I could store another one, then I looked at my stash and decided again I needed to build up some more funds. But then ya gott get them whem when you find them Decisions decisions’????

I tried to look at your link but it Said it was flagged for removal. It is true though that Utah does have a pretty good selection of good trucks. I offered that guy 700 we'll see if he takes it or not. I also should stick to one project, but this one is for me to use as a truck for now. That way I can drive an old truck and fix one up at the same time. We'll see what I end up with.

I can understand wanting to have an older driver good luck with the buy. My Idea would be to get an older truck for my plow truck and sell my 95 plow truck. Like you I would have an older truck for regular use that would be very cool. Here is a pic of the craigslist ad,67 $1500, engine is knocking.

WOW! Clean for 1500! I told the owner of that truck that i posted before that i would give him 800 If there is a 292 ci in it. I'm going early tomorrow morning to look at the motor again. Like a dummy I didn't get the number off the motor. So i am going to try and ID it and then give him a deposit if all goes well. Only thing is that I am going to have to service it big time before i can drive it.

Mr.chevy, hows the frame doing? any more pictures?

[FrankieD]

Good luck on getting something done.

[mr.chevy]

So Here is some good news!

Picked up a power steering set up on the local classifieds for 35 bucks.
I am really excited about it but i realized that I may have to do some trimming to get it in there. Do any of you guys have this problem?

[FrankieD]

Did you get the brackets too?

[mr.chevy]

Yeah It does have a bracket on it but i'm not sure whether or not it is complete.

[Scott Webster]

What's it out of?

[nds1968]

I had to trim my core support mount bracket so that the power steering gear box would bolt up. I also had to dimple my frame http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=286089&page=5 post# 121
