1967 Bone Stock Underhood Pics - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

smerkey · 04-01-2015, 11:24 AM

I am restoring a 1967, 250ci, 4 speed, C10 into the bone-stock truck like I had in high school. No modifications, base model, painted bumpers, radio delete, lighter delete, the whole (cheap) nine yards.

I am very curious about colors, finishes, decal placement, wire routing, firewall inspection marks, etc., etc.

If you have any correct stock photos specific to 1967 showing anything mentioned or anything else you think might be helpful I'd be appreciative. Thanks in advance!

Steve

i have dash pics if you need those.
i also have a bone stock 67 but im adding disk and power brakes p steer etc. i dont know of any decals on a 67 250 other than the one on the air cleaner depending on which plant it came from, same with the marks. it depends on where it was assembled. the firewall will be the same color as the cab and the inner fenders and rad support should be a flat black. i can also send pics of my firewall if you need them

no help from me.
But... Welcome to the board!

Thanks for the welcome! Just interested in all things stock I guess. I'm not too worried about correctness for the VIN or specific to the truck, just a representation of what stock looked like.

Just as a point of reference, the last restoration I did was on a 1929 Model A. There are publications that specify every nut and bolt's finish, the placement of every single wire, the variations in build from month to month of production...EVERYTHING. This project has me guessing as I am sure there were many "right" ways that things were done and they were not all documented as they were in the case of a simple vehicle like the Model A.

Attached are pics of the high-school ride (Old Blue) and the one I'm working on to make it into a copy of Old Blue.

**michael bustamante** · 04-01-2015, 02:06 PM

do you still have your radio delete and the cig lighter delete plug? and ashtray? are you going to paint it blue or keep it red?

**67 cst swb** · 04-01-2015, 02:09 PM

OH My... a red 67 small window.
I vote to keep it red !!!

CST10 · 04-01-2015, 06:16 PM

Go look at my photo albums. I have plenty of pictures of my 68 stepper. It's all original 22,000 mile truck. Original paint, engine and interior.

Sklptrljay · 04-01-2015, 06:22 PM

There was a guy on here with a thread the other day that showed his Grandpas 67 that has 32 miles. Yeah, 32!

If any truck could be the Bible about how stock should look, it would be his.

Here's the link. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=665004

Michael: No, I do not. I wish I did. I am looking for those items as that is the was it was when I was a kid.

67 cst swb: I think the mind is made up to go blue. The color is really more an orange than red in real life. Trust me, I have been toying with the idea...

CST10: I'll check out your album. Thanks!!

Sklptrljay: I did see that thread. Awesome truck. What a prize to own.

**Cash3481** · 04-03-2015, 06:55 AM

That's a sweet ride. Looks pretty familiar. Anything you post would be appreciated...always love photos of the same year as the one you've got!

**too much stuff** · 04-03-2015, 09:27 PM

My 67

Here is a little something, a factory photo when new. I've said this before, IMO, I believe the original engine color was more of a red-orange, not the Chevy orange color which is so common today. Time, weather and engine heat have away of toning down colors, especially under the hood. Note, engine paint still has not burned off manifold. Inner fenders were semi-gloss, while accessories such as air cleaner and oil cap were gloss black.

Man oh man, that's the stuff right there! Would love to see a bunch of those from different areas of the truck.

Thanks for all the input guys!

The "High School Truck". Had to drop a pic of mine looks just like your replacement. I miss this ole dog.

Sorry no engine pics. I just remember there was lots of extra space around my 250.

Lees68GMC · 04-05-2015, 11:29 AM

I know mines a 68 but I thought you'd appreciate what it looked like anyway. Notice the hood prop since the springs were gone.

Also "Dirt" you should let the East Coast guys in here know, especially the New York City guys, that's NOT a Rat you caught livin' in your truck.
