Re: Project Coca-Rustola: '67 C20 Longstepper
Sure does. I have a clean tailgate sitting in my garage just waiting to go on. But I have to cut off the mounting panel from the old lift gate that's welded on. That'll be fun.

Joe is my go to guy for original parts. Just a butt-load of stuff.

Who is Joe and where is "up there"? I'm still searching for a bed or bedside.

Re: Project Coca-Rustola: '67 C20 Longstepper
Worked on the truck for a few hours today. Get very little accomplished other than bolting up a door and fender multiple times to get the alignment close. Still not right. Ran out of steam and called it a day.

Re: Project Coca-Rustola: '67 C20 Longstepper
After waiting for over 2 months, finally said screw it and went into the DMV to get them to issue my registration and plates. Got 'em. Ol' Crusty is now legal to have on the road.

Re: Project Coca-Rustola: '67 C20 Longstepper
Sometimes it is worth it to sit at the DMV and wait for your number to be called to get your stuff.

Re: Project Coca-Rustola: '67 C20 Longstepper
Got my 3-pt shoulder belts installed and cleaned up the interior a bit. Need to make some adjustments to the clutch so the truck shifts down while in motion. Other than that, the truck seems to drive well. Has plenty of go, and stops when I hit the brakes. Surprisingly easy to steer even with no power steering. Was thinking of a power steering install, but not too sure now. Also slapped on my side mirror to my new drivers side door. Looks complete now.

Re: Project Coca-Rustola: '67 C20 Longstepper
Thanks, fellas. Still needs a lot of work, but it's driveable which was really my goal all along.

Re: Project Coca-Rustola: '67 C20 Longstepper
Got a bit more done today, but found more problems that I need to fix. My rear cross member behind the rear end is busted and loose from the frame. My bedsides are pretty rotted too. But I took more pics, so there's that. Truck drives like a beast.

Re: Project Coca-Rustola: '67 C20 Longstepper
While I was working on Ol' Crusty today, the battery in my Tahoe died. I happened to park in in a spot where I couldn't reach for a jump. So I rigged up a cable, and towed my Tahoe with Ol' Crusty to a spot where I could get to it for a jump. Pulled like a boss.

Re: Project Coca-Rustola: '67 C20 Longstepper
Ol' Crusty is on the road! First fill-up in 30+ years and a little car show at Home Depot in West Sac. Loved the 65 Skylark stuffed with a 455. Georgeous!

Re: Project Coca-Rustola: '67 C20 Longstepper
Thanks Jimbo. I was a blast driving it around today. Ran like a top. The old exhaust is a little rough though. Got to get it to the muffler shop now.
