Nice looking truck!

Hutch · 08-05-2002, 12:20 AM

I really like the looks of your truck, something about those 67's that I like, probably the clean lines.

Of the topic but check out this link I last week on a 67 4 sale in Garland, Tx.
It already has the old air system installed.

That is a sweet truck Hutch I wish I had that paint code I am things of going with some silver color but not sure yet, Iam looking every were for some color I like but nothing has blown me away yet . Later B.

Longhorn Man · 08-05-2002, 12:32 AM

That thing looks sharp...at least from 15 feet...Can't even tell it needs paint. Mine on the other hand, you can tell from a 1/4 mile that it needs some pigment on her.

Pumkin Truck · 08-05-2002, 12:37 AM

WHOA! Lookin good! Us stepsides are making a comeback, second step I 've seen posted tonight on this board! Need more pics! please!

Dropped67step · 08-05-2002, 12:43 AM

The guy that I bought it from said he had it painted about 2 years ago It looks good but the paint is real then I can see primer in some spots but my wife and friends say i am just looking for a reason to get it painted. Anybody have any color ideas?? LaterB.

Hutch · 08-05-2002, 12:43 AM

How about a darker shade like a grey

Dropped67step · 08-05-2002, 01:00 AM

SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!! whos truck is that? If thats yours you have a very sweet truck I really like the paint scem. Anymore?

Longhorn Man · 08-05-2002, 01:11 AM

You wouldn't be able to pull that one off on a step side though. I think you should go with another coat of blue...she looks awsome.

**68SWB4x4** · 08-05-2002, 02:09 AM

looks great!

oldburb · 08-05-2002, 11:26 AM

Hey John Hutchison,
Dam small world we live in!!
the link you posted for the truck forsale
in Garland, TX was purchased by me on 8-1-02.
I live in Wylie, TX

Truck rides like a dream. I love the PS, PB. The
air does great even in this heat. It has R134, but
the vintage air system can accept R12 (cools better), but i think i'll leave the R134 (i can
charge it myself, and it's way cheaper). I went out to Kellers (North West Highway) this past weekend and saw lots of nice rides. Had a couple of people admire my truck.

Went out to Pep-Boys and bought a few dress-up
parts for the engine last night. Only thing truck
needs at the moment is oil pan gasket replace. it
has a minor leak. probably will start tearing it
apart in a few days. I'll also repaint all engine
components again. Any of you'll know where i could
get a sunvisor for this truck, locally? Need the burgundy color. also looking for bracket that'll hold the spare tire in place. Here's a link to my pics....
http://community.webshots.com/user/trinic401k

checkout my custom paint jobs..hehehe
let me know if you guys are'nt able to view them.

Hope to meet c10 owners in north texas.
Any truck clubs around?

BTW- who's truck is that posted with the grey/white color? that truck is awesome!!

trinic · 08-07-2002, 12:12 PM

any carb parts laying around? i need the small
stud that'll allow you to hook-up the kickdown
bracket from trans. looks like a small bolt, but
plat at the end. dam little part, having trouble
trying to find it...

Hutch · 08-07-2002, 01:18 PM

Sorry for hitchin on your thread Dropped67step
trinic
It is a small world but a big statewith alot of trucks.
Post a wanted message on the parts board for that stud/sunvisor,bracket and spare tire holder.
Ther are quite a few guys in the our area that have lots of parts for these trucks.
Congratulations on your purchase.
I thought about posting it as a 4 sale item when I first saw the 67, then I thought that I wanted to check it out, then I thought I have way too many projects.
I knew that it would find a good home.
