Got this barn fresh 67 Chevy C20 last summer for $350. still had the original 283/4 speed in it. After driving it around for a while I decided it was time to fix all the rust but didn't stop there.
Before

While starting to replace the rusty floors my Grandfather and I had the idea to swap frames out with a 92 ext cab c1500 I had laying around with a 4/6 drop. Since I need to shorten the frame anyway I decided to make it into a shortbed. It now has a 92 regular cab floor that has been channeled around 4".

Going to have some exhaust tubing bent to connect original filler neck to new under bed mounted gas tank

Been a while but slowly making progress on the 67. Which is now sporting a 5.3/4l60e combo

New champion 3 row radiator for a 63 bel air

Here's some more current outside shots as well. The inside of the 92 chevy bed is staying but we are currently making fiberglass 67 bedsides for it to re-skin

Finally some dream shots on how the paints going to be.

killer cross-breed!

I've been to your grandpas and bought a truck from him several years ago.That man is talented. About everything on the property had a Cummins swap or LS swap. He has some cool stuff. Good luck on the build, keep plugging along.

450redrider · 03-21-2015, 01:21 AM

Thanks, yeah he was trying to talk me into putting a Cummins in this also. The vortec actually came out of his 65 crew cab that he swap a 4bt Cummins back in

Good start to a nice build. I like the rendering. I'll be stopping to see your grandpa tomorrow morning, I'll check out the truck then too. Keep up the hard work!
