67-72 short box 4x4 trucks... lets see pics
Where I come from these are rare. rarer still are fleetside shortys. Can we start a thread with the members owning these fine rigs putting up pics? I am instigating this because I am just about to build a '69 short box fleetside 4x4. I have looked around and they seem to be scattered about with Bad4x4 owning the finest example I have ever seen. I would love to see some of the other members trucks. I really need some inspiration. My frame was just trailered in from Vancouver tonight and I saw it in the dark...... I can say it looks like I am going to be looking for another frame.... but in the mean time I am going to start the build with what I have. I will start another thread to share that build with those that are interested (pretty hard to compare after seeing Bad4x4 built). let's see those short 4xs

Mines a 1970 SWB 4x4, only 2500 made that year.
54K original miles, intact factory drive-train. Pics range from when I looked at it, when I brought it home and in it's current state of restoration. All body work is done, just needs paint and assembly but it's taking freakin' forever. :lol: |
Re: 67-72 short box 4x4 trucks... lets see pics
Awesome trucks guys thanks for the posts. I will take Pics of the frame I got. I think It is too far gone. The good news is I found a complete 72 the only thing missing is the bed! Now to get it home.

Trevor that is a sweet looking truck!

Re: 67-72 short box 4x4 trucks... lets see pics
Mike,
What is the primer/ protector you used on the cab? is that the original cab? I look at your post and I can see the future. |
Re: 67-72 short box 4x4 trucks... lets see pics
If your talking about mine then I had it blasted, and primed it in Southern Poly Inc Epoxy Primer (SPI). Bought it online and they shipped it for free. $140 for 2 sprayable gallons. Very nice protection and seals very nice. The floor and bed are new and coated with the Taiwan EDP primer.
Check out my build thread for 2 1/2 years of pure fun... |
Re: 67-72 short box 4x4 trucks... lets see pics
nice work mike. looks like you got a real nice truck there. I found a complete 69 swb 4x4 running and driving good in decent shape for $2000. The only catch is its 500 miles away. I am trying to make it happen.

Here's a few pics of my 70 short fleet. I know, I know, it has a 71/72 front cap but that's the way I bought it.

Have decided I'm not going broke fast enough with regular trucks so will try these. |

Re: 67-72 short box 4x4 trucks... lets see pics
These all look great. Alot of pics of them on trailors though. Got any of them in the mud. That would be awsome.

Nice shortbox's Tim. I trade you for a studebaker anytime. especially for the light blue 67. that is a sweet truck. Man that is a sweet truck . I just went back and looked at it. it has 3/4 ton gear! do you know anything about that truck? When I dream, I dream that I am driving that truck.

Re: 67-72 short box 4x4 trucks... lets see pics
Yeah,it`s my project "Up In The Air",in more ways than one.I haven`t done a thing.Got it cheap enough.It`s a 307/3spd that I`ve never heard run.I have a 4spd set-up and a running`71 350.If I go with that I`d like to build it into a 383.Who knows,I`d really like to build-up a 292 or a diesel.The bed was worse than it looks and I have a Stepside on it now.I want this to be a trailworthy dual purpose machine.I have a set of K/30 axles,but gonna use a HO52 I have with No-Spin in the rear.I got 12.50/37 SSRs from Kurt that`ll go on it.AND,a 69/70 GMC front clip and tailgate.I have all kinds of plans,but don`t want to get out there too far with the "I`m gonnas".You never know,right?
It`s just settin`there looking at me for now. |
Re: 67-72 short box 4x4 trucks... lets see pics
Tim, drop everything your doin and get on that shortbox. Or call me I'll come and get it. ! ton axles? very cool. I need that truck. I never got the $2000 shortie just couldn't make it happen:( Oh well I'll find another. Nice trucks guys!

Re: 67-72 short box 4x4 trucks... lets see pics
I like that olive green one is post #25.... kinda the paint i'm gonna do but less olive I think...
That's a big K-20 in that pic! |
Re: 67-72 short box 4x4 trucks... lets see pics
Some day,some day.I`m having hard time keeping my daily driver going for now.
Mike,I think that may be GM Fairway Green.Look at my`95 in 88-98 pictures sticky. |
Re: 67-72 short box 4x4 trucks... lets see pics
Tim,
That sounds like me. The Holley doesn't like the cold....or the rusty gas tank. Just keeping the DD running is work enough in this weather. I am switching over to a Quadrajet with an rpm intake. Hopefully it will run better and get a little better MPG. At least my only truck payment is the parts I buy! |
Re: 67-72 short box 4x4 trucks... lets see pics
Same here.A good Q-jet is just the ticket,IMO.My`72 is waiting for a steering box anyday and Thursday my`92 either threw the pressure plate or trans shaft broke.Sounded aweful,had to shut it down and call a friend to trailer it where we can tear into it.I`m screwed for transportation at the moment.It`s too nasty to pull the trans outside this weekend.ARGHHhhh!!!
|
Re: 67-72 short box 4x4 trucks... lets see pics
Man I feel for ya. good to hear that you concur on the quad. It was recommended by a friend that is very knowledgeable. I am driving my restoration truck because my winter beater blew cyl 7. She needs a new engine.:waah:

Re: 67-72 short box 4x4 trucks... lets see pics
Ooooh...nice batch of truck rat thar.I don`t care who y`are.:D
I may need to throw a steering box from a`70 Blazer I parted last September.I`ve had it sitting for like 25 years.Ya think the seals might leak?I just may tommorrow if a need to get food.:lol: My dang Harley broke the drive belt last fall or I`d ride that.Hey,wind chill only works down to 40.:lol: |
Re: 67-72 short box 4x4 trucks... lets see pics
Special, i bet if you cut the posts down to 5 or 6 a day. You could possibly make some progress on that fine 71' or get the belt changed on your hog. IN THE APROXIMATLY 1,520 DAYS THAT YOU HAVE BEEN A MEMBER YOU HAVE 23,044 POSTS. THAT IS BETTER THAN 15 A DAY (EVERY DAY). DO YOU SLEEP?
