Re: 67 GMC Stepside PROJECT: TEXAS FARM TRUCK
Looks like it has lots of potential. It's a lot better than some of them I have had. Good luck with your build.

Re: 67 GMC Stepside PROJECT: TEXAS FARM TRUCK
My best suggestion for you is to sit down with a piece of paper and write down EXACTLY what your vision is for your truck... Remember there is no wrong decision... Do not let anybody influence your build... Suggestions are one thing and decisions about those suggestions are always good... There are alot of guys on here with ALOT of GREAT information and I would encourage you to read as many build post as well as the message boards you will get alot of information there... Some great guys on here to get parts from are Cash3481 (deals alot in GMC), Teeitup, and some others... There are a few to definitely steer away from...
Stay focused on YOUR project... Buy your parts 1 time so research is of essence... I will be happy to answer any questions that I can just let me know... |
Re: 67 GMC Stepside PROJECT: TEXAS FARM TRUCK
Looks like a good start. Good luck with your project.

Re: 67 GMC Stepside PROJECT: TEXAS FARM TRUCK
Welcome to Oregon. There are few local guys that get together every once in a while. I'll be posting details soon in the nw section.
|
Re: 67 GMC Stepside PROJECT: TEXAS FARM TRUCK
Good luck on your build... I have been 3 1/2 years on mine and I am probably at least 1 more year...

Here are some photos of one of the tach clusters I did. Yours will not look much different but will not have a tach and will have the correct black and chrome bezel for a 67.
Hope this helps. Thank you. You are doing some nice work on the truck. Take care, Tom |

Time to update this rolling project. Significant accomplishments: Installed 400 small block (kept original 250)...Got the cab floor all signed sealed and delivered with epoxy primer to include left & right areas cleaned up and replaced to include inner/outer rocker panels...
Had rear crossmember straightened after breaking umpteen drill bits getting it out..... fixed big dent on outer cab rear wall with stud puller (awesome tool)...... Welded patches on core support, fenders, dipped doors and grille in acid bath........ Spent a thousand hours welding/ finishing front grill (bought donor grill from junkyard to fix inner curves) I bounced around different areas throughout summer but now it's getting nasty out and I'm getting lazy. |

It's cramped quarters in this one car (if that!)garage but I'm glad I have that anyway. Not sure about doing my brakes and suspension in here though.

The Handy MIG has been real handy...I'll have to get my spousal unit to help me put in the vintage air conditioner. I need her to start bolt from firewall side while I'm inside cab maneuvering unit, ....
I'm wondering if I should take out kick panel right vent handle? |

Last round of photos for now until I get my butt back in gear and spend some $$$ for dash instruments etc., that's after paint anyway... Brakes/Suspension is next but to finish it off I might have to get some help in one form or another locally. I already have a new fuel tank to put in under bed as well along with new wiring, stay tuned for that one....I guess it never does stop..Thanks for checking it out! :gmc2:

Re: 67 GMC Stepside PROJECT: TEXAS FARM TRUCK
This is a really cool build glad to see an update, do you have a bed yet? Or what are the plans for one? :chevy:
|
Re: 67 GMC Stepside PROJECT: TEXAS FARM TRUCK
The bed is stepside sitting in garage in pretty good shape. Will put in some oak after paint. Thanks for checking it out!
|
Re: 67 GMC Stepside PROJECT: TEXAS FARM TRUCK
Figured I'd check out your build since you've been following mine. Looks great! You tackled all the things I don't want to do yet ha.
|
Re: 67 GMC Stepside PROJECT: TEXAS FARM TRUCK
Somedays I'm not that motivated but try to do a little something every other day or so. During the summer it was nonstop dawn to dusk. I can help you tackle to floor, rocker panels etc if you want any help.

Back in the saddle again. Been doing things here and there just haven't visited here. Vintage Air is installed and I'm rewiring now. American Autowire is pretty good.
