Aww man, mine came as a "mini truck in progress" I.E the bumpers were shaved, emblems and mirrors replaced with a single -useless camaroish mirror. Like what you are doing with yours so far, these trucks suck you in.

Re: My 67 C20 Mild restoration with LS swap.
 
I have most of the parts I have taken off.
Things I do not have anymore are the saddle tanks, the rear bumper and the exhaust pipes.

I still have the engine & tranny and most of the A/C unit.
Side mirrors.
Still not sure of what to do, maybe save it for another project?


Yes they just suck you in DEEP !

Finally finished rebuilding the transmission and pairing it to the block. Mocking things up to see how they will look?

Not sure if it is a '67, it has reflectors on the fenders that didn't start untill '68.
Good luck with it and you should be able to find out everything you need to know in this forum.

looks like aftermarket reflectors. pretty common to see em

Term touching up is a little understated, what you have done to get the mirror finish on your inner fenders. Awesome.... a black stripe would look good with your finish color also.
