67 c-20 in Nebraska - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

corcor67 · 03-23-2010, 09:15 AM

Hi everyone, I'm obviously new here but been reading the forum on occasion for a few years. I have a 67 c-20, its been in the family for a while now. When I was born 25 years ago I rode home from the hospital in this truck. Its since become my truck and I building it up to drive at my wedding in a little over a year. I'm gonna need some help from the folks that have been there and done that.

Thanks for the awesome forum

Welcome from NW Washington. I second the motion, I think we need pics also.

corcor67 · 03-23-2010, 07:37 PM

Hey thanks for the warm welcome! Not the greatest pics, but I'm always happy to show.

The truck, I like the small back window, don't see them around here

The interior, my dad had the glove box and ash tray custom painted by a friend of his in phoenix.

The roof, unfortunately someone drilled a hole for a cb antenna, the antenna was removed but the hole was never filled. Its rusted pretty good, I filled it but im afraid it will need replaced.

This is where it sits now, the hood is comming off thursday, I got a friend bringing an engine hoist this weekend. I broke a connecting rod in the 350 so its going through a complete overhaul. The top end was just rebuilt 2 or 3 years ago, but the bottom end hasn't been touched since my old man built it in the late 80s.

Thanks monte...

Got the engine pulled and stripped yesterday. Turns out there were no broke connecting rods. I did finally answer that age old question I know we all have muttered to ourselves "What's that noise coming from?" I lost all my main cap bearings and 5 or 6 rod bearings. The knock I placed on a broke connecting rod was actually where one connecting rod wore a 1/8" groove into the crank. Cylenders don't seem too scared up but I want to make sure they are still round. Good news is the block is only .020 over so there is still room to bore.
