Return of the 67 NAPCO!!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**too much stuff** · 04-24-2006, 03:32 PM

Here is an update for the people that were watching this one. As you may know bruce (sakohntr) bought this in colorado.
We left northern MN around noon on friday in the sporty 93 cavalier heading to colorado. Trip down was good and saw board member don loverink along the way. Picked up the napco and started our journey home via kansas. Had to do a little mechanical work to get it running as good as we could.
Saw a blazer in kansas but the owner wouldn't sell any parts off it. HAHA
(belongs to teeitup)
Ran into a couple guys in MO and talked trucks. Nice to see randy, rob and kevin again. (all board members)
The 292 was winding up and down the highway we went. Approx 1100 trouble free miles with no major problems. We didn't set any speed records, but the oil companies should have another record setting qtr!!
To sum it up, bruce is a happy, but tired camper, and the napco now resides in floodwood MN. We went around 2100 miles from friday noon till sunday (mon morn) at 1:30 am.

Looks like one pic didn't load... Rob and bruce watching kevin do all the work.

Bishops Trucks · 04-24-2006, 03:50 PM

I got a SWB '71 4X4 to go with that Blazer. It's the same color. Ochre or Mustard as some would call it. You guys could handle another couple thousand mile trip couldn't you?

Bishops Trucks · 04-24-2006, 03:53 PM

P.S.
Nice rigs! Glad you guys made it with no major problems.

Karl Hoh · 04-24-2006, 05:08 PM

Happy to see that truck in good hands. Bruce, Wish I'd known that 70 cab was saleable, it was what I really needed. oh well, a little work on the 72 and it'll all be good. Take care.

**Joesjunk** · 04-24-2006, 05:55 PM

**Palf70Step** · 04-24-2006, 08:05 PM

Glad to see it got a nice home on the board. Looking forward to more pictures of it.

JRB · 04-24-2006, 08:23 PM

JUMPIN JUDAS,
That thing is huge!!! With the right tires that thing would be a force to be recond with!! What kind of Motor is in it. Does it have one of those truck 427CI motors?
JRB

**too much stuff** · 04-24-2006, 08:27 PM

Maybe bruce will post a few more pics when he has a chance...
The engine is a 292/4 speed, supposed to have 28k original miles on it. It actually rode and drove better than expected.

JAKES 68GMC · 04-24-2006, 09:08 PM

One huge front-end under it. Looks a lot like an Eaton.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 04-24-2006, 09:55 PM

Glad to see it went to a good home is it really as nicwe as it looked on the e-bay ad??

71chevytruckguy · 04-24-2006, 10:11 PM

sweet truck. had to be one heck of a ride. put some 44's under that thing and turn it in to monster truck. very cool truck. chris.

JRB · 04-25-2006, 03:33 AM

That truck would be a killer carrier for your other trucks. A transport to haul your other trucks to shows.
JRB

teeitup · 04-25-2006, 07:08 AM

Glad you guys made it home safely. GREAT to see you guys again!!! Sorry I didn't have much time to BS.

I'm sure you'll be making another trip this way or me that way!!!

**special-K** · 04-25-2006, 07:16 AM

I love those truck adventures.I was going to drive my CustomDeluxe back from Colorado,glad I didn`t.The first one I`ve shipped.The seller said,"drive anywhere".I tryed driving to the gas station,bad clutch,frozen caliper,ball-joints ready to fall out.Never made it to the gas station,limped it home.
That truck is a pure stock restoration waiting to happen.A true museum piece.

Rod · 04-25-2006, 07:32 AM

Sounds like a good truckation or is that a truckoliday, truckventure. We need our own verbage. Truckoligy.

Well...thats enough, sounds like it went as good as one could expect sight unseen. It's a classic....good luck with it Bruce.

Brainchild · 04-25-2006, 09:42 AM

Glad to see it has a good home.We have the little brother of that truck on the farm,looks identical,2wd.They are workhorses for sure.

On getting a great truck

Lemield · 04-25-2006, 10:44 AM

Glad you guys made it home OK. Sorry you didn't stop by.

It is good to see that the Napco has a good home now. That sure is a piece of history!

nu2-72 · 04-25-2006, 10:29 PM

Have you ever thought of being a professional photographer?
You really caught my good side. LOL
Great to see you guys again. Very cool truck.

Other board members, these guys are great people. Won't be the last time we see each other.

**Ron 586** · 04-26-2006, 01:21 AM

Congratulations on getting your monster truck home. That a little pretrip work was all that was needed is great. But the thing that makes me happy is finding out that a few of us have friends that will join us on little road trips. With all the hectic day to day family and work obligations it's hard to work in a three day trip. Good luck on a very nice truck project.
