Project "Olive" 67 stepper... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

c10addict · 04-16-2009, 01:18 PM

Well I don't have pics from the very start of this project but it is still very much of a project so here goes... Before I bought the 64 I was wanting a shop truck/rat and had just about enough parts laying around to build a complete truck.. All I needed was a frame and a title... I went on craigslist and bought a complete truck for $600.00... So the project begins... I wanted to build an Army themed truck.. Olive green with little twists here and there.. The original plan was to throw a big block I have in it but I am now leaning towards a 350/700r4 I have... I got my hands on a Vortech supercharger and want to build the big block around that.... Here are some pics... The pile of junk parts are whats left of the truck I bought for the frame and title... The dash is my creation... I was thinking Army jeeps have the speedo in the middle of the dash so.... KP notch in the rear and I Z'd the frame 3" in the front and am running drop spindles and a 73 up crossmember as well...

I was originally going to run steel 20"s from a ram but would not work with the stepside bed.... Here are more pics..

c10addict · 04-16-2009, 01:25 PM

More pics... Cab is very clean... just surface rust here and there due to being stored in a damp shed.. Long story pi$$ed me off!!! Motor was a strong runner out of a 72 4x4 I bought for parts... It will get torn apart cleaned up and painted.. I decided to go tan with the wheels but am going to run a polished COPO style dog dish.. The pics of it sitting outside were before the Z'd frame.. Lastly F-Bomb was my inspiration for the olive green Army theme... Stay tuned for more!!

72BlckButy · 04-16-2009, 02:36 PM

c10addict.... this is going to be one killer project (no military pun intended).

Best of luck, and I can't wait to see how it turns out.

c10addict · 04-16-2009, 09:04 PM

found a few more pics of the notch and bag set up... plus a few of my 68 when it was a project since I never had a build thread for it...

i like the idea based around the F-Bomb camaro, but if you likethat car, do not watch the new fast and the furious, i repeat DO NOT, they destroy it in there, i cringed really bad. and cried a little too.

I know you are not using these anymore but am wondering about them. I like the simplicity and availability. What issues did you have and what adapters?

stepside83 · 01-29-2012, 06:37 PM

c10addict · 01-30-2012, 09:22 AM

Ok time to get this project done! Im back on it and excited to get it done! Here are a few pics of what I have goin on with it! I painted the doors and did the artwork on them... I scored some military taillights that I am going to run but I will move them around and sink them in to the side of the bed a little and I am messing around with a few different dog dish ideas... Stay tuned!
