Project Coca-Rustola: '67 C20 Longstepper

[Saclandman]

So, I've had this truck posted up on a couple of threads, but I thought I'd go ahead and start its own project thread.

I pulled this '67 C20 Longbed Stepside out of a field in Sacramento. From what I understand, it's been sitting since the late '70s. Last registered in 1977 according to the barely legible tags. It had been used as a Coca Cola vending machine delivery truck. It's got the remnants of the Coke paint scheme and a lift gate. Original Ivory truck with 283 V8 and 4-speed.

Here's where the fun begins:

No title
Not running
Rusted out doors, rockers, inner cowl, bottom cab corner, rear roof corner
Crunched drivers side fender, and bent radiator support.
Brakes not operating
Bed wood long gone
Rotted block expansion plug
Rotted radiator hoses

What I've done so far:

Replaced all ignition parts (plugs, wires, cap, rotor, points, and coil)
Replaced radiator hoses
Replaced expansion plug
Submitted docs to DMV for new title

Dumped some gas in the carb last week, and got her fired up. But only for a few seconds. Fuel pump is shot. Replacing fuel pump and filters this week.

The Plan:
Get it running
Get it to stop
Get the bed secured to the frame
New steelies and rubber
Get all lights working
Get new title and registration
Leave it ugly, for now
Decide to keep or sell

My last project was a 1965 Buick Skylark HT Coupe....when I was in high school 25 years ago. Relearning a lot about old rigs.
