Re: 67 SWB First Build
Small update.
Hung my new lmc tailgate. Awhile back I had split my tailgate in hopes of taking the bow out of it. Well I thought I had it fixed and as soon as I thought I was done, I stood it on its side and it had a slight twist in it... I suppose maybe I'll still paint it and turn it into wall art or something. Anyways... The new tailgate seems to fit great. Passenger side gap is slightly larger than I'd like, but I'll be able to live with it I think. Also started to fit my cowl hood. After messing with it for a day, I realized that this hood had some fitment issues. I did a search on here and I'm pretty sure it is an older cowl hood and they require some slicing and dicing to fit up... I'm thinking I'll give it a go at some point. In the mean time I'm fitting up my original hood. It fits way nicer. |

Re: 67 SWB First Build
Smooth bumper looks great. Thanks for posting all your progress... There's always some dude out there needing inspiration and or motivation to continue on with his project. Even though what I'm doing on my truck has been done hundreds of times already, I try to keep the pics flowing, because many times I have been the guy needing the inspiration.

Re: 67 SWB First Build
Welp, the compressor finally called it quits. I think it's fixable but I needed a good excuse to get a bigger and better one. So I'll give it to my brother to fix and have. Compressor won't be here for a couple weeks (I hope), so not much progress going to happen I imagine until that's setup.
So for now, here's a picture of my dog getting a good feel for the bench seat that needs reupholstered. |

Nice progress! Keep the pics coming. A dog and his truck, what could be better!
Tell us more about the air compressor you have coming.

Re: 67 SWB First Build
That pan looks good! And doh! No tailgate access lol. I assume you mean that bottom bolt on the hinge? Yeah, let us know what you end up doing there.
Question on the gas filler stuff. Where did you get your hose?

Re: 67 SWB First Build
Quick update-
I think I resolved my tailgate issue. I had to notch the pan to remove the trunnion bolts. I purchased a set of trunnions from a squarebody parts truck on facebook market place tonight. Quick notch of the tailgate and a dry run produced some good results. Just a little clean up needed and will need to patch the pan back up. |

Re: 67 SWB First Build
Roll pan is completely burned in and the tailgate seems to be working great. Another item to check off the to-do list.

Re: 67 SWB First Build
Nice, looks good. This makes me re-think my original thoughts on front roll pan WITH bumper. I think it really helps fill in the gaps. What are your plans for the front?

Re: 67 SWB First Build
Much appreciated! I've been following your build too. You have some serious skills with the panel replacement. Lots of work!

Re: 67 SWB First Build
You read my mind sometimes TA. I can't say that I've ever seen that mod, but It's run thorough my mind a time or two... I think having both roll pan and bumper could look incredible.

I purchased a front roll pan awhile back but I wasn't happy with how the fit was going to be. My dad talked me into going with the front bumper, but it'll be painted to match the truck. If you do go front roll pan, it sounds like the two piece front pan would be a nice piece. https://www.vannattafabrication.com/...4pc-p144963201 |

Re: 67 SWB First Build
I watch a lot of shows. Iron Resurrection and Texas Metal are my favorites as far as the personalities but I also really like the quality that KindigIt puts out. And all 3 of these shows have badazz C10's they built. Seen em all like 2-3 times so I catch a lot of details on them, especially details they don't even mention. pause, play, rewind, pause, play LoL. Anyways, some of these guys have done this mod, roll pans front and back along with bumpers. It looks REAL clean.
KindigIt and Martins Bros both did camaro bumpers along with the roll pans(if my memory serves correct). Foose did this too pretty sure, on his white c10, youtube. He did another mod I am going to be taking advantage of on my turn signals too We need a new sticky on this site that only hosts "cool mods" with pics that we can just scroll through skipping all the extra stuff in between normal posts lol. .

Re: 67 SWB First Build
I just read through your build and I like the progress you are making. Solid work on mating the bed floor sections and doing the braces before the floor was a good idea.
Keep it up.

Re: 67 SWB First Build
Hey thanks for the compliment. I've enjoyed following your thread, too. Your thread gave me the idea to do the bed floor in two pieces. Was a wee bit more work but I think it turned out alright.

Re: 67 SWB First Build
Small update-
Installed the latches on the tailgate and it ended up shutting and lining up half decent. Just needs a little tweaking. Also I haven't been too crazy about the reproduction front bed panel. It doesn't seem to sit close enough to the top rail. I'm going to try and salvage the original panel. It ended up not being as rusty as it looked originally. Just needs a small patch on the bottom flange. Went to town with a dolly and hammer too to take out the dings from it's previous years of abuse. I'll swap them out and if there isn't much change, I'll just plan on selling it. |

Re: 67 SWB First Build

My hood is uglier

Re: 67 SWB First Build
I'm in the same situation with my front bed panel.... a bunch of heavy dings and dents, and I'm not going to replace it with aftermarket either. The factory steel feels like it has a lot more integrity than a re-pop. It'll be a fairly new challenge in shrinking metal for me, but its not that complicated. I had pretty good results using a torch to get it cherry red then smack the high spot with a hammer before you quench it with a wet rag.
