My '67 Chevy SWB Stepside rebuild Project

This thread will be updated as progress continues so stay tuned

This started out as a '67 Stepside driver we bought in 1991.



We kept it a nice driver until April 2004 when it was hit and caused the damage below.





This is the current state of the project. It was in the 70s today in Michigan so I gave my chassis a bath and layed out some of the body parts

I was fortunate to score some nice sheet metal this past summer. I still need to decide on a powertrain

Chassis is a 1972 1/2 ton 5 lug, front disc, dual exhaust, Big Block mounts, front sway bar setup. Powdercoated gloss black from front to rear.
Next up is the brake lines from front to back. Once that is done, Everything gets torqued down and the chassis is complete

Cab is currently awaiting some rust repair on the frame mounts, floors and corners along with some minor mods.

A HUGE thank you to my father, this fourm as well as www.67-72ChevyTrucks.com. Without it I would never have taken this project on

I'm pretty sure he found another one while he was over here in PA for the Carlisle '04 All-Truck Nats.

I'm with Chevy HD 4x4... a BB 502 would be badass in that thing. A 383 would be my second choice.

Yep. I bought the '69 roller on the way to Carlisle '04. Within a few weeks after, I found a local guy with a '72 roller already powdercoated, etc for a song. I took it home and promptly sold the '69 roller

I bet it still looks like that. Someone needs to lite a fire under your ass to get working on that thing.
