'67 Chevy C10 Build - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

FickleFinn · 10-31-2011, 12:15 AM

I have a 1967 C10 Stepside, currently with a 283 and 350 tranny and 3.73 gears (just put the rear end in as the old one sung like crazy) it is a 6 lug.

I picked up a great running 1987 Chevy pickup ($300.00 !!) with TBI and 700r4 that I want to transplant into the '67. It has a new aluminum radiator I want to also use.

This is gonna be a driver, not a show car - just fun!!

1. What gas tank would fit in the frame of the '67? I want to move it from behind the seat and don't mind having a tank without an internal fuel pump.
Is there a kit available to do this?

2. Would it be difficult to use the 1987 wiring harness in the'67? I am good at mechanical and electrical work.

3. Which drive shaft will work?

4. Will the 1987 radiator fit?

5. Can I use items like the heater fan, windshield wiper motor etc in the '67?

6. Any other gotchas?

Thx,
Mike

yes as said above the front for disc brakes and the rear end will work also with a kit available online. Try searh feature I think a 94 s10 blazer tank will work [have'nt tried it myself yet] I do have that tank and will try it to see if it will work. I don't think the wipers will work just don't know. the blower fan might then agian hav'nt tried. with the complete drivetrain with the rear out of the 87 I would say the the mileage should be 16-18 range . You wo'nt get that with 3:73 gears. Good luck in the build and most important ,stay safe and have fun

Thanks for the input, I think this week the drivetrain will be coming out (gotta stain the house and garage first!!) along with everything else I might need. As I have a newer 12 bolt 6 lug rear end in the '67 will probably stay with that.

Anxious to hear if the tank will work, I measured one from an older s10 blazer and it seemed much wider than the frame rails.

Have body parts up for sale on Craigslist so hope they sell soon! I have a guy lined up to take whatever is left to the yard for scrap.

anybody else got any info or good advice. We really need to know about the wire harness. The rest like the radiator and all I think can be tweaked into place. Sure will be a great running truck when done Mike. Looks like your grandson is goig to have some competition.
