pics of my 67 project - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

sleric77 · 03-21-2008, 02:45 AM

Here are some pics of my 67 C10. It's definitely a work in progress and I hope to finish it this year.
I'm going to change the interior a bit because the yellow isn't my new color. I plan on going with the teal green like the truck on my avatar so black is what I'm looking for. Tell me what you all think of my 67.

It's a nice looking truck, but it's got the 70-72 front grill and a 68 and later bed, so it's going to confuse people a little saying it's a 67.

AGRV8D · 03-21-2008, 03:11 AM

can you build another center console like that?

streetstar · 03-21-2008, 03:20 AM

nice truck dude --- i agree, black would look the best with the green, but you know, a beige or buckskin would too now that i think about it.

You could get some houndstooth inserts for those seats to give it a little "something old/something new" feel, because with that LT-1, that seems to be the theme of the truck

Nice project. I am also entertaining the idea that it is not a 67. The large rear window kinda gives it away. If it is titled as a 67 then stick to your story.

And welcome to the site...

sleric77 · 03-21-2008, 04:20 AM

According to the vin # it's a 67, but it definitely looks like a 71-72 with the honeycomb grille.This truck belonged to a friend of mines dad who died of cancer just after he sold this truck. Now the son and I are going to fix it up. The truck has changed hands a few times but I was blessed to get my hands on it. About the console I didn't build it but I can find out who did and get back with you. THANKS FOR THE COMMENTS .

drbyrdman · 03-21-2008, 04:24 AM

check the frame numbers. bet it is a 72 pickup

Michael12 · 03-21-2008, 05:11 AM

The interior is very nice. What seats do you have? and do find out about the center console, I would be interested in one!

Nice truck!

sleric77 · 03-21-2008, 05:51 AM

67-72 all I can do is go by the vin # on the driverside door . The seats come out of a 96 grand am but I'm going with some more seats out of a 98 silverado. I have to change my shifter to a 4 speed automatic since I just had the 700R4 installed. Doing that I'll change the location of the shifter to make room for the underdash a/c unit. So I'll get with you on the console.

1LoC10 · 03-21-2008, 06:30 AM

looks nice... looks like the mirror is on the front windshield too

Premium72 · 03-21-2008, 06:52 AM

welcome to the board, good luck on the truck!

EAST SIDE LOW LIFE · 03-21-2008, 06:58 AM

Nice truck, if it were mine I would drive it around for a while and just enjoy it!

esll.

sleric77 · 03-21-2008, 07:53 AM

Thanks guys I'm just glad to be a part of this cool forum.

Riveted1 · 03-21-2008, 08:36 AM

Yeah, looks like a '72 to me too. Too many parts scream later model than a '67. Maybe they used a door from a '67? Like was mentioned before, I would check the frame VIN. But as long as it's in the '67-72 group, it doesn't really matter!
Like was mentioned before, I'd be driving that thing and enjoying it as is!

72swb_327stroker_? · 03-21-2008, 12:15 PM

looks good, who cares what year it is

Looks like the two side that are black were made with plywood or most likely mdf board..then for the top that looks like its simple fiberglass smoothed and painted...pretty easy to build

72swb_327stroker_? · 03-21-2008, 01:39 PM

fiberglass?

i know im getting old but it looks like its upholstered loosely and there are screws through it. yeah, it can be done pretty easily, you are right.

heavy71chevy · 03-23-2008, 05:25 PM

i couldnt really make out the top all that well but your right...i think they just color matched the top of it to the door panels...i think those screws in the top are related to that gauge in the top tho...i think theres an internal brace under the panel for the weight of the gauge and because of that it probably is made with mdf...its not bad job tho
