bought this 67 GMC 3/4 long bed about a year ago. been lurking around checking out different project, collecting ideas, finnlay decided to start my own build thread. here what I started with. just wanted to convert to 5 lug and lower it a little but after seeing so many other projects kept going lower and lower and stealling other guys ideas.

picked up this donor for parts, 10 bolt rear end, 350V8, 700R4, and maybe entire front suspension with crossmember.

Re: another bagged 67
your center trailing arm crossmember is in upside down (i know the frame is upside down)
fyi Nice project |
Re: another bagged 67
did not catch that.. dont matter. these are old pics.. back tracking showing what all I have done and redone. ended up ditching the trailing arm idea.

so after hacking up the crossmember I started to read about all the negatives that come with it and I was considering a dropmember but could not get myself to fork up that kind of cash... but then I saw this

this pretty much brings me up to date.. 14 months worth of work... will be picking up drop spindles and disc brake kit this wekkend. CPP is really close to me. hope fully I get time to put the front end together so I can get a rolling chassis and mock everything together so I can burn everything in..
