still a good price. I was going to say...if it all looked as nice as the back of the passenger seat you would have STOLEN them

67chevy1series · 03-12-2011, 07:09 PM

matt i would tak ethe covers and foam off nicely.....mine had the frame rusting, it has pits..... i would inspect the frame to see if it is rusting and take care of it. i am not talking about the frame that the 3 seats mount to but the actual seat frames under the foam.

If you are looking at the picture of the gold and white truck that is not my truck. It is just an example of how I want mine to look. It happens to be bagged. If you were looking at the pictures of my maroon truck. I removed the springs so I could use a floor jack to see where I really want to end up on a drop. I will probabaly end up with a static drop. 4.5" to 5" in the front and 6" to 7" in the rear.

Door repair has been a challenge so far. I did a similar cut to what
chevy71c10 did. The inner door repair panel is not even close to what came from the factory. Pictures will come when I am happy with what I have accomplished.

67chevy1series · 05-23-2011, 12:53 AM

well door repair must really be kickin his... you know what, seriously though, any progress matt?

67_ShortFleet · 07-12-2011, 12:23 PM

I have not touched truck in months. I filed for divorce on June 30. I think I will still have the truck when it is all over. We will see. Priority is the kids and trying to keep the home. There is a ton of stuff to do to the truck that won't cost anything. Just my time. But why bother if I loose it.

67chevy1series · 07-12-2011, 01:58 PM

oh man thats ... not good to hear. i hope everything goes right for you i hope who ever needs them the most gets the kids and you get your truck! keep us updated ... if she takes the truck at least keep the buckets for a nice couch lol!

I think my classics will be fine. They were all purchased prior to the marriage. I can't wait to move forward with my life! Money is going to be tight, but my attitude will be much better.

Not a bad buy Matt.

Hope that all is well up north.

I just did the 72 accelaertor pedal swap today on my 68. The pedal installed great, but the cable was to long. I had to buy a rebuild cable from autozone to have it link up. there was to much binding in the cable. I also picked up one of those wiring harnesses from a juck yard for $25. already assemblied works out great.

67_ShortFleet · 10-15-2011, 05:25 PM

Swap meet today

Found some good buys! 67-68 radiator support $80 no rust through, just some surface rust. Bumper brackets $10, T-3 headlights $1 each, Made in USA line wrenches $1 each, 1 1/16" wench $0.75, New door handles $10 each, window cranks $8 each, battery tray $14. Wheels for the torch cart $3. I can't believe I had such a good day!

VA72C10 · 10-15-2011, 06:26 PM

Those are some GREAT deals! The T3's I've been selling for 75/pr. And the rad support is worth an easy 150-175!

72BlckButy · 10-15-2011, 09:17 PM

Awesome buy Matt!

I just sold a 67/68 core for more than double what you purchased that one for.

Hope that life is going well up north.

Holy Crap! I did real good then. How do you tell if the smaller ones are a normal bulb or a bright bulb? Or was there a difference?

67_ShortFleet · 02-21-2012, 10:24 AM

Really not much progess. I picked up a early classic 6" drop kit. Divorce is still not final. I am still looking for the 67 air cleaner.
