Lime Wife's 67
 

So i decided to start a build thread on the 67, that will be my wife's truck to drive. We bought it and decided to let her build it the way she wanted but i am doing most of the work:lol:

Re: Lime Wife's 67
 

I took the interior out and started cleaning the floorboards and painted them they were in good shape notice the rockers and bottom of pass. door where replace by the po

Re: Lime Wife's 67
 

i put the carpet and the seat in and she said i don't like the red interior so i that will be changed lol

Re: Lime Wife's 67
 

I got the motor to run for about 30 second poorly though and the wireing was a mess. Then i found out that the oil was getting water in it so i decided just to pull the motor, hauled it to my dads and got it out

Re: Lime Wife's 67
 

so i had a long winter with no real progress

Re: Lime Wife's 67
 

nice man is she keeping that floor shifter?..

what're the plans?

Re: Lime Wife's 67
 

got some small parts painted, and built a small harness to move the wiper switch over like in later models

Re: Lime Wife's 67
 

no, i plan on getting a lokar shifter but it will still be in the floor lol

Re: Lime Wife's 67
 

started on the gauges getting them placed and wired up

Re: Lime Wife's 67
 

got a drivers side window regulator and installed it

Re: Lime Wife's 67
 

the wife scraped all the purple tint off the back window and i installed new locks and ing. cylinder, painted the vent window

Re: Lime Wife's 67
 

took apart the heater controls to rebuid them, and started taking off the front sheet medal and installed a door latch control

Re: Lime Wife's 67
 

got the dog house off the truck started cleaning the frame and firewall, got the firewall primed and installed turn siginal and bright indicators in the gauges

Re: Lime Wife's 67
 

painted the inner side of the fenders

Re: Lime Wife's 67
 

got firewall painted and enough of the frame painted to put the motor in, i'll take the suspension off when i have all the weight back on the front end. and got the heater controls back in

Re: Lime Wife's 67
 

one of the heads was cracked so thats where the water was coming from, so i got another one and got them redone

Re: Lime Wife's 67

Re: Lime Wife's 67

Re: Lime Wife's 67

Re: Lime Wife's 67
 

so its an automatic truck? Your lucky to have it converted to disc already..

I wish it would quit raining so I can do some welding!

Re: Lime Wife's 67
 

yea, turbo 350 i don't know who did the conversion but i have a few things to check in rearend area some of the work i think i will double check :lol: but the shifter thats in it is just a cheap-o and it sucks i think a lokar will be far superior to that thing the truck was a striaght six and three on the tree factory (nothing wrong with that i like em) but its been a 350/350 combo for as long as i have known the truck and i here ya on the rain there is a chance all next week, i need a garage it suck working on the dirt:( but i'm glad i'm able to work;)

Re: Lime Wife's 67
 

I have a garage, and my truck is sitting outside a garage

and I dont have a gas tank in it to drive it to my house to work

Re: Lime Wife's 67

Re: Lime Wife's 67
