Hello from Austin, TX, with 67 inline 6 pics. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey all,

I picked up a 67 stepside, inline 6, 4 speed manual about a month ago. As far as I know, I bought it from the second owner (son of first owner), and it appears to be original (including the bed boards, LOL). According to the son, it has 60k original miles on it.

The truck runs, but smokes a bit. I've decided to go ahead and rebuild the engine, etc, before making it a daily driver.

Pics are up over here, but here's one to give you an idea:

The big white dually in those pics is my dad's rig - he helped me tow it from Graham, TX.

I am really pumped about getting started on this project. My engine stand arrived just last weekend!

Welcome from Kansas. That looks like a good score and will make a nice daily driver. Lots of good people hang out here and a wealth of knowledge that's free for the asking.

forgot to mention eastwood has a product that seem ideal for your hood they say if you keep it drenched with this product it will remove surface rust without mediad blasting or metal damage, I've heard of people setting up a small trickle pump and a hose with holes in it to keep large parts wetted downyou might want to try it.
