Guys, meet Celeste....my new 67swb - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

clos69 · 02-21-2010, 07:59 PM

My family and I went to pick her up Friday in Amarillo ,TX from boardmember 68fixerupper. It's a 1967 swb fleetside with a big rear glass, it has been dropped 6in in the rear and 2in in the front. It was nice meeting you Jason and don't worry I'm going to take good care of her.My daughter nicknamed her Celeste because of the skyblue color. Enjoy

Money well spent and glad to hear it stayed in the "family".

What are you plans for it?

clos69 · 02-21-2010, 09:56 PM

Thanks for the compliments guys....The engine according to the PO is an I6 260 out of a 64 chevelle. My plans are to bag the rear, change to 5lugs,convert to disk brakes, add shock relocators and adjustable track bar, throw a coat of clear and put some 20in Cragar 613 wheels...maybe later on add a SBC/700r4...then I can stick a fork in it.
