And so it begins - 67 build up - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Not that I was really wanting to start another truck build, but since my 72 was totalled, it is time to start on the 67, progress will be slow, but here are a few starter pics.

The next post will show why I have to take both beds to a body shop.

Here is why I have to have both beds taken to a shop, I will be using the black longbed for parts to repair what the PO did. There was a propane tank in the bottom of the short bed and also the rear sill of the bed was welded to a bumper. The PO made a rollpan for the truck out of a steel bumper and got real happy with a torch and welder.

Oh well

and the last for now, pics of the donor for engine, trans, crossmember, posi, and numerous other parts...

my totalled 72 Cheyene

Some teardown pics & the bed donor, also a donor for an a/c firewall.

Looking good on the teardown/build. That was some weird stuff about the bed. Of course, I have been known to do some really stupid things in the past to vehicles to hold them together.

Tearing it apart is EASY!! Putting it back is the HARD part. Have fun!!

Looks like you've go some serious work ahead of you, but it doesn't look quite as bad as my 67', good luck, looks good so far.

I don't understand, what was wrong with the Cheyenne?

Looks like a nice project, keep us posted

Like I said in the first post, progress will be slow. I didn't think it would be this slow, but oh well........

Anyway, a/c firewall & dash are now in place.
