1967 C20 Flatbed Driver Project
We have had this truck since May and have slowly been working on getting it to be a driver.
I will start with some pics of when we got it.

Re: 1967 C20 Flatbed Driver Project
First thing we had to do was get rid of the camper. Four pickup loads of garbage and one load scrap aluminum later.

Re: 1967 C20 Flatbed Driver Project
Then we had to cut 30" out of the frame to get back down to the 127" wheelbase. We also cut a couple feet off the back of the frame.

Re: 1967 C20 Flatbed Driver Project
Then we were at the junk yard getting some other parts and walked by a 71 dump and noticed it was a small window. We cut the section out and here are some pics of it welded in, the start of body work and some primer.

Re: 1967 C20 Flatbed Driver Project
Today we bolted the bed on and welded the bumper on.
Also installed the tail lights and wired them up.

Re: 1967 C20 Flatbed Driver Project
We had these tool boxes in the garage for a while with the thought of using them for tool storage and they happened to be the right size.

Re: 1967 C20 Flatbed Driver Project
Thanks. I'm not sure how much work the truck is going to do but it will be a nice driver and ready to haul when necessary.

Re: 1967 C20 Flatbed Driver Project
Picked up a 62 gmc with a newer flatbed and decided it would look nicer on the 67
Going to clean it up, paint it and install the tool boxes.
