1967 c-10 4x4 build
 

so, i bought this truck on the cheap with plans to have it looking like new, (or pretty d*mn nice at least) by junior year. i'm hoping this truck can be my senior project, but being a freshman, i need to talk that over with the school district. but i have plans for this truck, and i figured why not document it step by step, like you guys do on here? so i started out by making a video a week or so ago. here it is :


i have hopes on getting this truck as solid and shiney as a truck that rolled out of the factory yesterday. so tomorrow ill post the pictures of the stuff i did yesterday, because my image host is a PITA and i have school tomorrow(technically today). so thats a good start for now. hopefully i can get a trip to the junkyard sometime this week to get another c-10 emblem for the pass side, the chevrolet for the hood, and maybe a body panel or two depending on how they look.

im going to try to make most of this build in video format, so it can be followed on youtube too. we'll see how it works out.

they key hole for the ignition is it drilled bigger or something if not then i think you have a 68 cab and 67 doors

Re: 1967 c-10 4x4 build
 

it is definatly not drilled.

Re: 1967 c-10 4x4 build
 

wll then t is definatley a 68 cab the emblems look nice were the holes there when you got it or did you drill them and fill the original ones

Re: 1967 c-10 4x4 build
 

thats where the holes were when i got it.

Re: 1967 c-10 4x4 build
 

huh well the crome on the emblems look good for being take offs

Re: 1967 c-10 4x4 build
 

its been a while, but i got the oil pan gasket replaced, and its not leaking(yet!). while i was down there i painted the dust shield chevy orange, and i learned that the t-case and tranny were painted under all the oily mess. tomorrow i hope to replace the wheel cylinder, as one of them is bad.

Re: 1967 c-10 4x4 build
 

sweet do you have any pics

Re: 1967 c-10 4x4 build
 

i took some, but for some reason i can't find them. ill snap some more tomorrow.

Re: 1967 c-10 4x4 build
 

alright sounds good

Re: 1967 c-10 4x4 build
 

Nice truck! I can remember when I got my first 4x4. It was a 69 3/4 ton white, 350 4 speed, but mine was in worse shape. Enjoy the truck and the fixing up process!

Re: 1967 c-10 4x4 build
 

Alright great progress. That emblem does look really low that's weird. looking forward to pics.

Re: 1967 c-10 4x4 build

Re: 1967 c-10 4x4 build

Re: 1967 c-10 4x4 build

after it was taken apart-replacing the wheel cylinder.

i dont know if you can see that, but there is a crack in the boot, and the inside is rusted.

bondo cracks-i hope to get panels to get rid of the bondo. there is bondo in the bottom of Driver and passenger doors, and it also needs rockers.

Re: 1967 c-10 4x4 build
 

o nice pics you havent mounted the other bow tie emblem

Re: 1967 c-10 4x4 build
 

i havent mounted either! i dont know if im going to. i really like the look without trim or emblems. it looks clean. and i dont want to put them on until i do the body-the spot where the other one should be mounted is bondo'd thick and i do not like it one bit!
