Poor 1967 SWB step
This just came into the junkyard. Was in a barn fire with a bunch of old vehicles and tractors. Very sad to see everything completely destroyed.

Re: Poor 1967 SWB step
All rubber, glass, aluminum, pot metal, and plastics completely burned way. Even the springs collapsed.
I thought all 1967's has folding bench seats??? This one doesn't.

Re: Poor 1967 SWB step
Is the driver side rear fender any good?
 I could use one for my bedside mounted spare removal.

Re: Poor 1967 SWB step
That might be the only salvageable piece on the truck.

Re: Poor 1967 SWB step
Very sad to see the total loss of the barn and all the vintage cars and tractors. More heading to the junkyard soon.

Re: Poor 1967 SWB step
That was a hot fire there, fuel in the tank probably didn't help any. Won't the fender be distorted or warped from the heat?

Re: Poor 1967 SWB step
Yeah, it looks the the gas tank blew up. It is rounded like a ballon. It pushed and curved the bench seat frame, back of cab, and bed bulkhead.

Re: Poor 1967 SWB step
Sure is a sad sight. Anytime sheet metal is burnt to that extreme paint will no longer stick to it Even with todays etch primers.

Re: Poor 1967 SWB step
The '67 is now in the pile by the crusher. It's fate has been set. The left rear fender is badly buckled along the whole top. As a metal shaper, I could fix it. But the average guy would pass on it since repop fenders are available.
Here is another fire victim. 1950 Chevy with shirts. Was blue and white. Now extra crispy.

Re: Poor 1967 SWB step
As sad as it is to see the vehicles burned up, the important thing is hopefully no one was hurt. Look at it this way, at least there no chance of rats nests inside the truck or the car...
