Hi everyone. My dad retired from farming a little over a year ago and right before he did he hand delivered my grandfather's 1967 2wd fleetside longbox to me on a trailer. Grandpa died in 1970 and the pickup pretty much just sat around with toolboxes and a fuel tank in it to use for a backup vehicle if anyone needed it. Last 3 years before I got it was spent inside a shed not seeing light for most of those 3 years. Before dad left he said "she worked hard, now its time for her to be fixed up". Im going to do a frame off and convert to front disk brakes. Think I will replace the 250 six, and put a 327 in it and use the original trans and rear end. Not going to go too overboard but I want to have a little fun. Thanks to the guy who posted the 1-800 number for chevy. I have my information coming for rebuilding it. Look forward to any advice.

Welcome to the board and if you need anything just ask. That looks just like my dads truck only he has a shortbed.

My ex brother in law got into a small fender bender 6 or so years ago and the body shop said that only 1968 front fenders were available. Thats why it has a turn signal on the left fender. Obviously that is being replaced cause I see that 67 fenders are available by just about all the catalogs that I have gotten. Thanks for the welcomes. One thing, it has an incredibly low rear end in it and a 4 speed with a granny low. Thinking of speeding up the rear end a little so the engine doesnt have to rev so high to maintain highway speeds. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the board from South Mississippi! 3.08 gears with a sbc and TH350 (which is what I have) are good hiway gears.

Welcome from FT Worth TX. Looks like a clean truck you have there.

Yeah it is pretty clean except for dust, needs a little TLC. The rear cab corners are rusted through but thats it, all the rest is just surface. Checked the floorboards and they are solid, dont know what I will find when I pull it apart but for now it looks ok.
