Opinions Please on 67 C10

Here's a 1967 Chevy short bed step-side C10 that Tim just wrapped up the bumper to bumper, chassis, suspension, disc brakes, Dakota Digital dash and new drive-train; a 2005 5.3Vortec 4L60E, new dual exhaust, aluminum radiator, relocated 21 gallon tank and new rear end. 1st photo

Between 6 trucks (67-72) all of us have we have the gorgeous Cheyenne Super Resto-mod of Rob's with a Vortec of course, ranging to Tims 68, also Tims unrestored step-side and Marks to this 67 So-Cal Survivor of Pats. (you've seen my 68 GMC) We were thinking of doing the patina shop truck thing (see photo shopped last picture) versus a full body and paint FYI by the time you read this the 68 will have bigger tires on it all around. We're interested in what you think "Should Happen to This Truck" about appearance, fun, usability and ultimately sale value impacts.

Thanks for your thoughts, have a great week-end Truckin' - Lee

I vote patina shop truck/super sleeper. A blown motor or turbos in this trucks future? Anyone else would be the wiser pulling up next to that truck and have it blow their doors off.

Re: Opinions Please on 67 C10

Great input guys Thanks! Didn't wanta say before to possibly taint the Vote, but we're all Thinkin' Patina too. We think this was some kind of old Southern Cal. City Government Truck as the original color underneath is some kind of weird Desert Tan and the paint code on the glove box door says "Special".

Our new nickname for the Truck is "Parks and Wreck"

Re: Opinions Please on 67 C10

Off the wall question for you since you're from Utah (the home of Coyes) Have you ever heard of anyone getting a better price on Coyes C5s up there or is advertised retail it? Just Curious.

Re: Opinions Please on 67 C10

As far as I know just advertised price. You could get a discount being a shop and could possibly do some advertisement for them using their wheels.
