My '67 "Green Bean

[thankins93]

this is my 1967 short stepper. it has a 1967 292 I6 with a 68 carb, 4 speed on the floor, small window.

she is all mine. I received this truck free with 5 days of manual labor. Also my truck was towed to my house for free by some friends.

this is my 292.

this is the interior, i have taken the carpet out because it was just laid in there, and i actually dont want carpet in this truck, also came without seat-belts.

My Tailgate
This is going to be a slow build thread because of school and money but first i will be pulling the motor and doing a reseal job on the motor. please anybody that can help with anything i am willing to listen and up for any suggestions and will be posting many pics as i work on my first and favorite truck. MY 67 "Green Bean!"

[thankins93]

this build will turn into a high school/college build. i just push-rods sent in because two of mine bent so i might get the heads reworked i dont know yet.

Looks like it will be a fun truck. I like that motor/transmission combo. My dad had a 292 3 speed 70 truck like that, and I loved it.

Does it have power steering? I see two drive belts.

no it just has 2 belts on it. manual steering and manual brakes

[67chevy1series]

well if you canb get power steerin on this truck!

[thankins93]

i dont think i want it though, it really isn't that hard to drive without it, so i can see where your coming from, why do you say i should get it?

[67chevy1series]

i dont know most peple do it its only hard when your not moving....

[BlackTopMotors]

Great truck! I also like the tailgate lettering.

Probably one of the key things is to know your budget in relation to what it needs...or what you want to do or have done (your skills and friends with skills can help save you time and money...).

Take some time when go through it...take notes...do research.

Save your old parts (you may regret throwing them away at a later time) take pictures so you can remember where things go. I love using sharpie pens and various sandwich/freezer bags to keep track of small items (it pays off later to stay organized).

I am sure others have tips to help you...Best of Luck!!!

blacktopmotors- my pushrods only cost me 17.51 instead of getting them for 30 bucks because i know somebody that can help me get parts for my truck. and thank you for the tips

[BlackTopMotors]

I just checked out your Ytube clips, nice!

Glad you were able to score some parts for affordably! You will be amazed at what a bit of cleaning, basic body work and paints can do.

Don't forget safety as well. How are the brakes?

Roger

[thankins93]

about the brakes, haha, i have put fluid into the master cylynder and pumped them up and i got brakes. but i think the rear wheel cylynders are leaking becaues the fluid closest to the firewall loses fluid. i have checked yet but it could also be a rust hole in brake lines or worn out brake hoses.

[67chevy1series]

well get them fixed if you can!

[thankins93]

well i figured out it is the rear back, cant tell if it is the hose or wheel cylynder, but i need to find out the torque specs of the rocker arms on my 292. i cant find anything

[thankins93]

My new Pushrods

[67chevy1series]

lookin good

[BlackTopMotors]

Consider starting a thread about the torque specs...I am sure someone here knows. Roger

[thankins93]

i did, and he gave me a link to something. they said there is no "real" torque specs. they said do it like a sbc

[BlackTopMotors]

I am glad that worked out. Keep us informed as you progress. Roger

[thankins93]

will do rodger!

[67chevy1series]
