Dark Poly '67 CST Shorty
 

I picked up this little beauty in Reno Nevada last August when attending the "Hot August Nights" show, I saw it at the auto swapmeet area, it was a unrunning '67 SWB CST, that was stock height at the time with some hideous rollers tires with a big "For Sale" sign, upon closer investigation I noticed the factory bucket seats that were standard in the '67 CST were still present, I also noticed a few other options that appealed to me along with the Dark Aqua Poly color..... after doing "the dance" the truck was mine. ;) It's kinda personalized now! :metal:

a couple more pic's.....

Re: Dark Poly '67 CST Shorty
 

Looks great Rene. But I've never seen you put semi-wide whites on a lowered C10 before, I like it! ;)

Re: Dark Poly '67 CST Shorty
 

LOL A first for everything! hahaha... kinda my trademark. :metal:

Re: Dark Poly '67 CST Shorty
 

That is one sweet little truck

Re: Dark Poly '67 CST Shorty
 

What a cool truck. That thing is a gem! Nice save.

Did you paint the mirror heads white? I like how that looks.

Re: Dark Poly '67 CST Shorty
 

Yep, good to see you back. It's a good trademark. Same tires and wheel covers I had on my first truck.

Re: Dark Poly '67 CST Shorty
 

Very cool truck!

Re: Dark Poly '67 CST Shorty
 

Sweet ride man:metal: That old school camper shell is too cool

Re: Dark Poly '67 CST Shorty
 

Rene

Re: Dark Poly '67 CST Shorty
 

A tilt that IS NOT black?

Re: Dark Poly '67 CST Shorty
 

Nope, first year was '69 for Comfotilt. This falls under his "personalization" category. Looks better matching, doesn't it?

Rene, you did a great job on that patina. Looks so real!!!

Is it a 283 under that hood? If you decide to part...

Re: Dark Poly '67 CST Shorty
 

The man is a magnet for these old trucks I tell ya. I don't know how he finds them all. It's a good look. I've never really cared for the toppers but I know they have their use. Seeing old ones in good shape are rare though.
I've never been a white wall guy but the older I get the more I look at them. They are a rarity on today's vehicles.

Re: Dark Poly '67 CST Shorty
 

A 67 CST shorty and with the small window , sooo nice. Is that a four speed ? The tilt looks like it's been with the truck from the factory. Good looking truck you got there.

Re: Dark Poly '67 CST Shorty
 

Very cool truck.

Re: Dark Poly '67 CST Shorty
 

Been following you on instagram for a long time, Rene, but this has to be my favorite truck you've owned. If you ever decide to let it go, I hope you'll give us East Coast boys a chance at it. :)

Re: Dark Poly '67 CST Shorty
 

Thanks, I love it!

Thanks, yes I tried to match them the best I could....

Thanks, to me its a no-brainer, a lot cheaper than nice after market tires and rims, and looks awesome on factory painted trucks, regardless of the condition of the paint.

Thanks guys!

Coker tires most of the time......

Re: Dark Poly '67 CST Shorty
 

Hahaha . Thanks soooo much, but not for sale.

Thanks!!!!

Yup, the toppers I use mostly when I attend auto swapmeets, so much easier to store parts in the back without having to worry about someone walking away with them.... The white wall is just a personal thing that I always liked on original looking trucks.

Yup, a factory "granny" four that still works well.... and the tilt, made by forum member "Kevin Hernandez" is the icing on the cake!!!! :metal:

What Tim said.... lol

Tim, I'm glad you liked my patina job ;) .... a 292 with dual pipes sits under the hood.

Re: Dark Poly '67 CST Shorty
 

If you guys get a chance, and if I haven't bored you yet LOL..... check out the thread I started on the Blazer section titled "Possibly the holy grail" I recently picked up a find of a lifetime. :mm:

Re: Dark Poly '67 CST Shorty
 

Twice pipes on a 6. Sweetness.

Re: Dark Poly '67 CST Shorty
 

Oh yea!!!! Nothing like the sound of a 6 cyl. with dual pipes!!!! :smoke:

Re: Dark Poly '67 CST Shorty
 

Nice to see ya back here Rene. Nice truck too. I wouldn't expect anything less

Re: Dark Poly '67 CST Shorty
 

Fake patina eewwwwww !:chevy:

Re: Dark Poly '67 CST Shorty
 

Thanks Dale!!!!! Hey buddy, of course I have to ask you if you still remember how to "bake" lol apple pie????? hahaha :barn:

Took the words right out of my mouth!!!! :lol:

Re: Dark Poly '67 CST Shorty
 

... for added cool factor! I bet she hums like a... I dunno, but they hum a nice tune with dual pipes.
Tilt man Kev up to his old tricks! Was going to ask about him, John O, and the rest your crew.

I'll go look at the Blazer thread if you say you told it's story there. I'm getting bored with this thread anyway.

Re: Dark Poly '67 CST Shorty
 

What's wrong with fake patina? Most people think I look 60-ish but I'm just a 40 year old with fake aging. I even act like stuff hurts when I really should be in the Olympics. Chics dig that stuff.

Re: Dark Poly '67 CST Shorty
 

lol I love it, same ol Tim ..... I'll tell you that 292 sounds sooooo sweet, but it's good thing I didn't buy it for the mileage, because that sucks big time!!!!! :(

Re: Dark Poly '67 CST Shorty
 

Of course I remember how to "bake" apple pie!

Re: Dark Poly '67 CST Shorty
 

Rene,
Another nice one! You sure do come up some good trucks.

Ray

Re: Dark Poly '67 CST Shorty

Re: Dark Poly '67 CST Shorty
 

Sweet truck

Re: Dark Poly '67 CST Shorty
 

Yum!!!!

Thanks so much guys!!!! :chevy:

Re: Dark Poly '67 CST Shorty
 

Got a name for this one? Teal comes from the color found on the head of the waterfowl of that name, a member of the duck family... if that sparks any ideas. Quack

Or, how about $100 Bill or Koruna? Check under "currency" in above link. Mmmm... Ice cold Koruna (Prolly be splainin' that'un a bunch). You had Gumby, how about Daffy? The CSD? (Custom Sport Duck). I dunno, you can stop listening at any time :lol:

Re: Dark Poly '67 CST Shorty
 

Wow, love the colors and configuration with the 292 and CST on this truck, nice find!

Re: Dark Poly '67 CST Shorty
 

Hahaha, what else (I forget who I'm talking too lol) could be the name of this beaut but "Dark Poly" which is short for the name of the color of the truck..... Dark Aqua Poly. ;)
Thank you!

Re: Dark Poly '67 CST Shorty
 

I like "Dark Poly" for a couple of reasons. ....(1) it reminds me of your attitude/personality (2) spelling aside...it reminds me of a pissed off parrot....it's a great name

Re: Dark Poly '67 CST Shorty
 

Ooooo.... that Poly, she's a dark one alright. I don't know how I got going on teal, it's aqua!

Re: Dark Poly '67 CST Shorty
 

Nice truck, Rene! Love the color!!

Re: Dark Poly '67 CST Shorty
 

LOL That second reason is cool!

Hubba Hubba!!!!

OH me tooooo, I bonded with this truck real fast! :chevy:

Re: Dark Poly '67 CST Shorty
 

Very nice truck!
