Very nice work there DVX. It takes a lot of work to get a dark color looking that straight.

Thanks. There are a LOT of hours involved since it had rust issues and I used all original sheet metal, except the rockers and cab corners, because I read the aftermarket stuff fits like crap. The owner picked out the color, which is a late model Ford color called Cinnamon Metallic. She also picked the rims/tires, which I think are too small, but it's her truck which is still pretty cool for a 68 year old woman!

Wow that is gorgeous. Is it as nice to drive as it is to look at? Not many trucks can pull off that color. Where did you get that seat cover?

Thank you. The seat cover came from Classicindustries.com and was recommended by a friend. It is also comes in different colors besides white and is the same houndstooth pattern as the 69 Camaro's had. For whatever reason, I have not been able to get on their site for a few days now.

Thank you very much, it is appreciated. The drop was a simple set of CCP 3" springs, front and rear from ClassicParts. She did not want it level, so this gave it a slight rake. The picture is the day they were installed and not yet aligned.

Gorgeous truck NevadaDVX. Your client must be a real cool 68 year old. I love the gauges on the truck and am wondering how you got them white? Is there an overlay package for the originals you got somewhere or are they new gauges? I have black and white interior in my truck and have been wondering what to do about gauges and when I saw this truck , I knew what I wanted to do .

Mt Man Chad · 08-25-2011, 11:18 AM

The 67 I pickup up this spring for dirt cheap from original owner. =0)
Freshly rebuilt original 327 and TH400 soon to be installed as well some 15X8 with original dog dish caps.

I originally bought a complete gauge package from a guy on ebay that does them white. Well, it turned out to be a MAJOR fiasco and I got burned for well over $100 from him that I could write a book about. But to make a long story short, a couple of the gauges did not work when I installed, them, and I ended up buying another set of overlays so I could put them on her original gauges I replaced them with. So, I say do them yourself. They are fairly simple to do if you take your time. The hardest part was making sure the needles were back where they belong. Anyway, here is a set of the overlays for these trucks.....

Didn't a board member do these in white and offer them for sale?? I am almost positive of this.
