Project Rouge 67 short

Well Im fairly new on this forum but have found a lot of interesting/helpful information already. I've been in the truck scene for a while now, in spring I sold my bagged S10 to buy this truck. I've had my 67 for a few months now and have been slowly doing mods to it, so I've decided to make a project thread.....

Previous truck..... 2001 Chev S10







My next truck..... I decided to take a completely different route and go with something older. I have always been a huge fan of C10's, so I started looking for something with a decent body and engine. I came across this 67 short from another province (I'm from Canada). This truck had a little more then what I was looking for but for the price I couldn't pass it up. I transported it over to its new home in the back of a semi trailor. I am a huge newbie when it comes to engines so please bare with me when I begin to do engine mods. All advice and guidance welcome














Painted the rear half of the frame and put drop coils in (previous owner used coilovers with a hack setup, it wasn't safe).......













What the bed looked like before...... The previous owner had a trap door thing where part of the bed lifted up so he could fill his gas tank (you can see the trap door if you look closely in the pics). I hated it from day one so I re did the entire bed





Re-did the bed in pine with new hardware and strips.......







I will have more updates shortly, I have done more things since these pics but the weather hasn't aloud me to the truck outside for some sunny pics.


Any thoughts or comments are welcome.
