Roll call: Let's see some overseas members 67 - 72 trucks...who do we have?
I know we have several truck owning members here who live outside North America. I'm curious who has what where, how the trucks were acquired, what if any difficulty is encountered in obtaining parts, and what the public reaction is like. Let's see some foreign 67-72 trucks.

Re: Roll call: Let's see some overseas members 67 - 72 trucks...who do we have?
Well, as you ask. It was a USAF truck until 1986. I bought it in 1992 in a very tired condition. I swapped the 6 for a 350 and then a 502. I've replaced most of the panels with fibreglass. It's got a 9 inch with coilovers. It runs mid 11's but I am looking for a 10. Yes it's expensive shipping parts in, smuggling parts back from the States saves money. Reaction is mixed. Car guys love it.

Nice thread idea DeadheadNM, cool that you guys are interested in what old US iron are out there. Here's a link to my build thread which explains a lot about my truck.http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=386276 US cars and trucks are in fact more common at least in Sweden than what many of might think. A lot of guys import their own car/truck and there are several companys specialising in import older and newer for that matter cars and trucks from USA. Here's a link to an old thread which explains the costs involved when i imported my 71. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=154392 As for parts there are a couple companys selling US car/truck parts so there isn't really a problem to find almost anything but the prices are about double or three or four times the prices in US. Often it is cheaper to order from ebay sellers, Rockauto or similar. The problem with that is delivery time usually could be up to four weeks. Thanks

Re: Roll call: Let's see some overseas members 67 - 72 trucks...who do we have?
Really liked reading the build threads guys - thanks for sharing. Dima, how did the truck get to Moscow? Did you buy it locally or have transported from the US?
Another question - what's the current cost of a liter of gas? I just filled up with ethanol free 91 octane for $3.33 a gallon (3.8 liters) and 87 octane w ethanol is ~$2.70/gallon.

I buy it in Russia. I was able to trace the history of the pickup: pickup was taken from the United States Mississippi to Holland, then to Russia. In Mississippi Chevy was sold after the accident. Now I restore it. Spare parts in Russia are almost impossible to find, all buy on E Bay, Summit Racing and Rock auto. Gasoline prices have fallen in Russia now, but it's only because the ruble fell against the dollar. 92- 0.61 per 1 liter 95-0.66 per 1 liter Diesel - 0.63-1 liter

Re: Roll call: Let's see some overseas members 67 - 72 trucks...who do we have?
Hi there, I am from the UK and although i do own a 1971 C10 Short bed i have never seen it, the reason why is
As we speak it's inside a container on a boat sailing its way to the UK I got it from California and for one reason or another it should have been here over 6 weeks ago, but issues with the union at the port of long beach has delayed it. The sad thing is i leave for vacation on Tuesday the 16th to FL for 3 weeks and the truck is due in on the 20th. Can not wait to get my hands on it and start tinkering on her. |

Re: Roll call: Let's see some overseas members 67 - 72 trucks...who do we have?
Hi I have a k1500 gmc bought last year from oregan, and patially rebuilt. front off, new rockers inner rockers, and a couple of outriggers, Th350 has been rebuilt, and so has the engine its now a 383 stroker,
i also have a couple of c10 s from florida and georgia. the one is a 1970 c10 manual, v8 350, and Bondo bob as i call it is a 71 c10 , which is stripped currently having a restoration. The cab corners , floor inner and outer rockers part of the bulkhead etc etc where rotten. The PO put new doors on it fenders and bonnet, together with a new step back i am building a replacement 383 engine for it with a large camshaft ,and a set of alloy heads, together with a tko 600 transmission. Parts are for me not a problem as import allot of parts, and sell Summit parts and speedway here in the uk , together with classic industries and classic parts. i would like to thank a fellow board member wrecked chevy who has helped me sourcing some used parts for me when some guys on here did not want to as i was outside of the USA. Clutch pedal and some small block engine mounts to convert the stepper in to a manual.
