Re: The Blue Goose
Good to see that you are still working on the Blue Goose John!! I remember when we were both back in High School. Most of the guys from that thread have given up on their trucks and moved on. Its good to see that somebody is still as crazy as me
![]() ![]() ![]() I also find it funny that instead of giving up on our 67-72s we now have one more each lol ![]() ![]()

Re: The Blue Goose
Considering seeing randall one of these days hopefully I see the crewcab at goodguys in spokane this year? May end up having him do me a cab and hauling it back east along with some other sheetmetal since its more solid in the inland PNW (desert someplaces)
Headed to TN in 3 days super pumped got a few misc truck stuff I want to do, see link below for details. Oldblue is probably not going to change much just keep it going and eventually try'n get another cab for it oneday. Im going to try to build a lowered shortbed lsx maybe even truck up from the frame starting with the front suspension.. Link http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=548136

Re: The Blue Goose
Long time no updates still have the truck bought a battery for it a few days ago and rebuilt the battery tray (only rust I've successfully repaired). Looking for a replacement cab with "minimal" rust (isn't everyone). I've got a short bed frame and a rebuilt crossmember I'd like to build a new truck with but that's a way off

Re: The Blue Goose
Started swapping everything over to the short bed frame I've had for a few years now. I've got a swb drive shaft that was sbc/th400. And a longbed drive shaft that is sbc/3spd. I'm thinking I can combine the 2 to make my desired lent and have it rebalanced? (2 piece drives haft ).
Got a lead on a cab or 2 hopefully I'm driving a bedless bluegoose in a couple more weeks. Got the rear suspension swapped around this eve. And nate im honorably discharged after 4 years. I joined the TN air national guard though.
