67 C10 - Cherry Popper - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ulakovic22 · 10-28-2008, 10:50 AM

Hey everyone, I'm very new to the 67-72 truck scene and this will be my first truck build ever. I have always needed a truck to go get parts for my various projects cars as well as random errands that involve towing or hauling something so I thought this would be a useful project as well once finished.

Anyway onto the truck. It's a '67 farm truck that I got out in Abeline for $700 and for the most part I think it's a good starter truck for me to pop my cherry. It didn't come with a bed, which is ok, but I will get a good fleetside in the future when I'm ready and when the budget allows.

ulakovic22 · 10-28-2008, 11:09 AM

I've already spent some time tearing the thing down to a bare frame so I can sandblast it to see what I have and then prime and paint it. I got a quote on powder but it was going to be about $650 so I passed, I mean it's lasted 40 years already so paint can't be that bad.

ulakovic22 · 10-28-2008, 11:17 AM

Continued the tear down of the suspension and getting ready to sandblast everything. The truck came with a 5 lug in the back already and the parts to do a PS steering swap and 5 lug disk swap too.

ulakovic22 · 10-28-2008, 11:39 AM

Started sandblasting last weekend I think. It sucks and takes a while but isn't too bad when you look at the finished product. As of today I've got the trailing arms done, upper and lower control arms and about 70% of the frame done and in primer. Here are a few pics of the trailing arms, I don't have pics from this past weekend's work though.

Looking good

MDC · 10-28-2008, 11:49 AM

Where are you in Lewisville. Good to see someone close by.

ulakovic22 · 10-28-2008, 12:00 PM

I also picked up my old engine from the shop after getting freshened up. It's a LT1 that I use to have in my 97 Camaro before I went back to stock. I'm using the same cam, but a different set of heads so I'm not sure what kind of power it's going to make, but here is the dyno sheet from the last time it ran.

I also got a lot of extra parts needed for the engine by trading on of my AR15's. I got a 4L60E in the deal with stall so I think I'm good to go as far as all the wiring harnesses and parts needed. Here is a picture of the AR I traded and some of the parts I got in return.

I live by Vista Ridge mall currently, but have lived in the Flower Mound/Lewisville/Coppell area since I was about 6. The truck is out in Flower Mound at my parents place, I don't have any room at the apt. complex, I already have three garages with projects and tools currently

Great looking project, good luck with it!

Keep us posted....

Thanks for the heads up, I wasn't sure if I wanted to use them or get aftermarket tubular mounts. Are they not the same as regular SBC/6 cylinder mounts?

fast_dev · 10-30-2008, 07:53 PM

no, all different, sbc, bbc, 250 inline, 292 inline (different pass. side mount) you could probably use them for a sbc, but sbc ones are easy to find and you could prob. get $100 or so for those.

OARNGESI · 10-31-2008, 11:15 PM

What bed are you going to get

*paisaloco67* · 11-01-2008, 12:46 AM

I wish it was legal to buy one of this in california. Nice project by the way.

nuke1 · 11-02-2008, 03:26 AM

way too go, looking forward to see how this turns out!

Going to try and get a good Fleetside with a wood bed.

ulakovic22 · 11-03-2008, 12:58 AM

More progress this weekend worth mentioning. I have the frame flipped over so I can start work on the bottom. Trans crossmember is painted along with the control arms and the engine cradle is in bare metal but I ran out of primer so I'll have to wait until next weekend. Hopefully by the end of November I will have it into a rolling chassis but we'll see how that goes only working on the weekends. Anyway onto the pics.

ulakovic22 · 11-20-2008, 12:31 AM

More progress. Not going to be able to get it in rolling chassis before Thanksgiving with Christmas shopping and all so hopefully I'll get trucks parts for my Christmas present

I could use some bags and brakes, lol.

Hmm I thought the ones on the left were BBC and the ones on the right are SBC

your project is coming along nicely......

Tx Firefighter · 11-20-2008, 10:31 PM

Those mounts on his frame are 68-71 big block mounts for sure.

The mounts the 67chevytruck posted are 72 only big block mounts.

my67chevytruck · 11-21-2008, 11:34 AM

ulakovic22 · 06-30-2009, 12:06 AM
