hey , great site you have here !!
my first post here , my name is Brad live in southwest virginia just got a 67 swb small back glass two owner truck from knoxville tenn have the original paperwork from when it was new have the protecto-plate warranty booklet and all ,
my goal was to have two vehicles one a 1967 RS camaro and a 1967 six cylinder tree speed short fleetside chevy pickup , I got my 67 camaro about ten years ago before they went thru the roof !!
the truck has been more of a problem to get you see here where I live the truck's just rotted to the ground , I had simply given up and wondered if one even existed in good shape , I wanted two clean rust free original vehicles , I am 37 and had never seen a 67 to 72 pickup with a good cab ,
well this one I bought needs one body panel the righthand rocker , THATS IT !
it has the cleanest rust free cab I have seen , here is some pics of my camaro and couple of the truck , the truck runs and drives great I am going to drive it till dec or so the take it apart and paint it ,,,

Good score! Small windows rock, IMHO. But I may be biased...

**N2TRUX** · 09-17-2006, 09:15 AM

Welcome to the forum Brad. That is a very 67 is a very good find. Even down here in Southern Texas 67-72 without rust are getting hard to come by.

Tell us what your plans are. Is it going to be restored like the Camaro or ?

welcome to the board from missouri, can't go wrong with the small back glass

19673ontree · 09-18-2006, 04:46 PM

I live in southwest virginia on the tip , I can be in west virginia in about 20 minutes and can be in kentucky in about 15 minutes , I have wanted one of these trucks for 20 years !! all started when I was 14 and dad was going to get me my first car (TRUCK) I found a 1971 C-10 sitting on a car lot and wanted it , dad told me that those truck's were junk and not to fool with them but that he would buy it for me if I wanted it , so I did and worked on it a long time and figured out dad was right it was a piece of junk !! well got rid of it and got another a 68 I think same deal ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, so after a while I learned to look UNDER a vehicle to see what kind of shape it was in ,,,,, after about 20 of the 67 to 72 truck's I got mad and threw away every bolt I had for one and and just QUIT ,, well I still wanted a 1967 camaro so I hunted for 5 years and found my 67 with a lot of knowlege from working on the truck's I was able to pick a good camaro , well the 1967 short bed stepside thought's just kept coming back and I was in tenn about five years ago when a guy pulled in a parking lot in a 1969 short stepside with a for sale sign ,,, I went over to look at it knowing what I was gonna see and was SHOCKED!! it had floor pans !!!! it had cab corners !!! I did not know what to say !!!!!!!
after talking to that guy and finding out the truck was an original tenn truck and had always been there was why it was not rusted ,,

in the first of this post I am not putting the trucks down this is just the story of how I figured out that it is not the truck's fault it's this area where I live they just rotted to the ground here ,,,

anyway after seeing that truck I knew that I could go to tenn and have a chance at finding my 1967 short fleet which is what I did , the one I bought has the original green paint still on it the floors are perfect cab corners are super drivers rocker is perfect it has the lower front corner of the rh fender under the battery rust and the passenger side rocker has a little I am going to replace the rocker , but anyway thats my story !!!
can't wait till winter will tear the truck down and clean it all up good should be a great truck ,, later

Longhorn Man · 09-18-2006, 05:01 PM

You think your area is bad... go up to norhtern ohio or ANYWHERE in Illinois... Here in Columbus, I've seen fuel tanks falling out of the cab, beds falling to the ground becouse the floor rotted all around edges, and trailing arms snap while the truck is sitting.

Either way, YOU got a NICE lookin one.

CochinoFilipino · 09-18-2006, 05:33 PM

2 X 67 for me too.

But my other 67 is a Mustang.

Now if I just had a 67 Vette, and a 67 Bronco and a place to keep them,,,,,,,
