Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II

Quick Question. I recently started a new build on a 68 c20 Custom Camper. Internals and functionality is flawless but the body leaves something to be desired. Indiana truck...what can ya do?

I have an opportunity to purchase a good looking parts truck very close to home. 69 c20. The price is right. Will all of the body pieces fit my 68 c20 custom camper frame? Doors, hood, front and rear fenders, bumpers, bed, etc?

I am a beginner and really don't have the capability of pulling the motor, otherwise, I would obviously do the opposite and just transplant the organs.

Any advice you have would be much appreciated.

Thanks

As long as the bed is the same (short, long, stepper or longhorn), the sheet metal should be interchangeable as far as I know. If you change the front though, I think you have to change the whole clip (fenders, hood, core support and grill).

Okay. That is kind of a bummer. I love the clip of the original 68, but I have a large dent under the E in CHEVROLET. The fenders and cab interchanging will be a big help though. Rust free truck without anything under the hood for 350...can't beat it.

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II

Doesn't get a whole lot nicer than that one.....just beautiful.
One of the prettiest color schemes that ever was built.
Certainly a step up from any assembly line product.


Dang!

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Part II

El Rondo, Its Gunned Satin. The P.O. did the work, was gonna Rat Rod it somewhat. It does have 3 small dents that were not taken care of before paint. Will take care of them. The P.O. said to his knowledge it was an AZ Truck, and the undercarage and body look the part. Didn't get much windshield time last fall. Winter came early in Michigan, and it still has its grip on us.

The truck came out of the factory with a 327, but has a 350 now and power steering with drums. The P.O. put Firestone winterforce skins on it because he was gonna run it all year but felt it was to nice of a truck to put it through the winter salt on ours roads.
