My 67 big window swb
 
Hi guys, I recently picked up a 67 big window shortbed truck. I drove about 3 hours south into Oregon and picked it up on 9/24. Since then I've replaced the dented/creased front bumper, upper/lower balljoints, inner/outer tierods/sleeves, pitman arm, idler arm, rag joint, drop springs, lower control arms, f/r shocks, side mirrors and wheels and tires. The truck has a gm crate 350 with a 700r4 trans, power disk brakes up front, tilt steering column, gas tank relocated to under the bed. I'm currently waiting on a new rear view mirror , 3.5" stainless exhaust tips, lap belts, and few other miscellaneous things to show up. Big thanks to lolife99 for the help with figuring out that I needed all 73+ front end parts.

Onto the pictures.

The day I picked it up.

Thanks! Yeah, the front end was a bit of a learning curve for me. I ordered a full front end kit for a 67, not knowing that everything was swapped to do the disk brake conversion. Nothing fit. Lol lolife99 saved me on that one. Great guy to get info from.

Looks good man! As does that 99-03 one, those cadi lights look good!

Thanks! Yeah, the 99 usually keeps people scratching their heads. A lot of people think it's a dodge because the body lines are shaved, 89-93 caddilac tails and hd hood.
