67 step to fleet project - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ag1972 · 01-02-2010, 03:38 PM

Bought this 67 stepside off of the second owner. He bought it in 75 and drove it everyday until 2000 when he parked it. I like the stepside beds, but I have always really liked the fleetsides better. I hate that I payed more for the bed than I did for the complete truck. 6cyl three on the column, but I have a 305 and a 2004r, lowering somewhere around 3-4 in front and 5-6 in the back, and probably torque thrusts

. For being driven every day the rust isnt really that bad. It's gonna need a passenger fender corners, rockers, cab supports, some work on the doors, and just a couple spots in the floor. As far as paint I'm not sure.

Cool project. From what I can see it looks like a good shell to base a great project from. I just picked up a 67 GMC in about the same condition. It will be a while before I tackle that one though. What are your plans?

ag1972 · 01-08-2010, 12:45 PM

Yeah, all the cab really needs is some work on the doors, corners, rockers, supports, and a couple little places in the floor. Sounds nice, my uncle has a 72 gmc short fleet. I have that fleetside bed for it. Plan on lowering, puttin in a 305 I have and a th350/400. Not sure on color yet.

Just got some brand new metal today. New doors, rad support, pass fender, inner fenders, rockers, and corners.

ag1972 · 11-24-2010, 09:41 PM

Just cab corners left to do on cab and finish welding in the rest of the panels. Had the frame blasted and got it and the motor painted.

Nice project, good luck with the build!

ag1972 · 11-24-2010, 09:50 PM

Just got the motor and trans set on the frame today. Also picked up an nos dog dish. Does have a couple tiny dents, but it must be just shelf wear because it came from a chevy dealership in Maine. Unfortunately there were no more

, but I am still lookin for 3 more.

I've already gotten rid of the fender and I'm gonna polish up one of the old caps if worse comes to worst and I can't find enough for a whole set. The other caps are in really poor shape, all of them have some dents, one of them had a hole ripped in it while I was gettin it on the trailer.

what happened to those side mirrors? whats the plan for body and paint ?
frame looks really nice and shiny what did you use?

gearys 5600 · 11-25-2010, 07:54 AM

Lookin Good..I did not think that factory steppers had body side mouldings on the cab and fenders?? The truck is looking great, keep the pics coming.

Both mirrors were rusted in half on the bottom leg. I bought a gallon of nason chassis black and thought I would have some left over, but that only did a little over half of it. My neighbor had some cheap farm black that was idk how many years old haha. It really surprised me how good it turned out. I have changed my mind a million times, but I think I am gonna do it 50th anniversary theme, but use the bmw gold like this one.

Thanks. Yeah I though it was weird too, but it did come with them. I thought it was weird that someone would get a 6cyl, 3spd, radio delete, but still a custom.

67chevy1series · 11-27-2010, 03:19 AM

that is what is cool about your truck it was probably one of the first 67 swb stepper with trim 67 if they are long bed then they are almost always a fleet if there short bed then there almost always a stepper hardly ever are they a 67 lwb stepper or from the factory a 67 swb fleet they hae most of the time been made into a fleet

67chevy1series · 12-13-2010, 10:56 PM

legendary · 12-15-2010, 01:33 AM

Nope, I sold it to a guy in St. Paul, VA. He could have sold his truck and the bed, but havent talked to him since I sold it to him.

67chevy1series · 12-16-2010, 12:04 AM

you already sold the stepper hopefully that gave more funds for the truck
