Ok guys here is an update I have been waiting for since I bought the truck. I dropped my Th350 core next door at the transmission shop for it to be rebuilt I really want the 700r4 but for now this will do. Besides these guys are really hooking me up. Props to Lodi Transmission!! Thank you Ron and Larry!!

Sweet Shawn! How long before they will have it ready?

[shawno72]

Well they will probably get it apart today and see if the drum and stuff is still good for a rebuild. Hopefully by early next week but really since they are giving me the homie discount I'm not to worried

Why did you switch to a 72 gas pedal? And that's what that simple is for on the firewall! Haha always wondered. I always thought it was to high for the 71 72 pedal... I'm thinking about doing a cheaters version of this conversion...

For me it was strictly to get rid of the rod to the carb on my V8. Plus I think it looks better up off the floor

[67chevy1series]

oh ok. yeah ive thought up a way to get the pedal off the floor while still using all the toehr 67 70 gas pedal components.... i might try it on one of my extra 67 70 gas pedal pivot rod. ill put it in the 67 for a little while see if i like it lol

Nice, I like those

[shawno72]

Thanks Rus I was happy with the fact that they only cost $36. That TruckShop both was packed and their prices were good and you could even barter if you bought multiple items Should of bought the comfort grip steering wheel

What truck doors got the "custom" badge and what truck doors got the "cst" badge.
I realize it was a 67-68 trim piece.

I thought "cst" was a 69-72 blazer thing.

Thanks for the thread Kieth. I do know that the 67 truck my seats came out of was a CST and had these style door badges. The spid also showed custom sport truck. I always assumed the custom level was the same as my 72 custom deluxe. Chrome window trim and chrome vent wing windows with chrome interior goodies. I also am pretty sure that only the CST trucks had buddy buckets. With all the options I have added to this tuck I just felt that the CST badges were appropriate.
