Re: pls post pixs of 67-72 Panels
Pritch, I think you may have the nicest "before" picture I have seen.
What the heck made you rip into it? |

Really, I searched for a long time to find one that didn't need a bunch of stuff that was over my head. It showed very little rust, but I found a lot more 'upon further review'. Mostly the rockers, of course, but up the kick panels some and the supports under the floor at the front of the cab. And the dash. It's shot, all rusted out along the bottom of the windshield, but I have a perfect replacement for it that came out of a parts 'Burb that I took out just for the practice of taking it out. So that's good. The main thing is-I know myself and if I would have tried to do it a piece at a time while keeping it in one piece I would have never gotten anywhere. Now there is a clear direction and wanting it back on the road is my motavation. Another thing, it had been wrecked at one time on the right front and I wanted to be sure in my mind that the frame was straight. It is, but the hit it took seems pretty hard. The fender has a lot of bondo and the grill is a little tweeked, but I think the spindle was replaced. The one that was on it just seems a little different, and the drum rivits had been cut off, but the driver's side still had the drum rivited to the spindle.

Re: pls post pixs of 67-72 Panels
DakotaSpeed, nice looking panel, it looks really sharp. Do you have any inside pics?
Pritch, well good score and good thinking on your limitations. I guess there are always surprises no matter what eh? Sometimes it seemed like I was some sort of forensic scientist/mechanic while working on mine trying to see what someone else was thinking or had done. Keep at 'er!! |

Re: pls post pixs of 67-72 Panels
Hey Sublvr72 Whats that on top of the roof in those pics? It looks like a pop up vent. Is that factory or a "california custom". By the way is that the original chevy 507 med Blue paint? I found out that was my trucks original color and I believe that is what I want to return it to. But Krylon white keeps the michigan rust off. Good luck guys and Nice lookin trucks....

It's a ghetto roof vent that was added by a PO at one point. It's coming out soon. The paint isn't original, it looks brushed on |

Re: pls post pixs of 67-72 Panels
hey Pritch. You have some cool plans there, can't wait to hear about the progress. I'm getting near to winter storage time here and I have a small list of things to accomplish over the winter. Just a lot of small stuff really--like install the new dash pieces I have, fix the leak under the dash that drips on my foot when it rains, finally get the e-brake hooked up and maybe a tie-rod and ball joint replacement.
Anyway it was good to hear your plans-maybe the other guys will pop in for an update. There are a few panels on here I've been wondering about lately. cheers! |
