Re: 67 C10 "Green Gobblin" straight from the field!

Heres a few updates! I got the cab front end torn down and off the trailer. I had a few scary moments lifting it with my engine lift and straps! ( not recommended!!!) I modified my rotissorie to fit the cab so Now she's spinning and i can get a good look at the underside. Its pretty bad so i ordered up a complete floor/rockers/cab corners.

Re: 67 C10 "Green Gobblin" straight from the field!

Curious how you came up with your balance point on the rotisserie mounts in the door jamb? i see the povot is forward of center. And can i assume the forward point is also bolted using the top door hinge mount?

I just placed the pivot point in the center of the cab and not center of the door. the forward point is just below the upper door hinge. I didn't spend to much time trying to create a balance point as i just wanted to flip the thing over! Its still a little firewall heavy but I'm hoping it will balance a little better once all the dash and steering column is out. Heres a quick pic of the door bars i made to match up to my existing rotisserie. ( pretty simple )

Lol, I think your low budget plans are already shot...

I grew up in Iowa, North Dakota may not be the place for needing A/C, I keep forgetting....
Keep up the great work!!!

Re: 67 C10 "Green Gobblin" straight from the field!

Finally got a chance to sit down and give you guys some updates! Since I'm waiting on my parts order i dug into the 72 parts truck. Heres a few pics! its a 72 lwb custom with the original 350/350. Apparently ran and drove until the previous owner had a carb fire and he gave up!

Re: 67 C10 "Green Gobblin" straight from the field!

Ok now for the good ole burnt up 350! i figured it was a total write off and if nothing else it would be good for a rebuild. After i stripped away and swapped out all the burnt up stuff like Dist, wires, carb, hoses and drained out about 10 litres of oil and water and popped in a new set of plugs she fired up and ran like a champ!!! Oil press was 50psi at start up and 30psi warm. I gave it a compression test and was at 130psi on every cylinder! It passed a leak down and its going to be good enough to clean up and slap into the Green Goblin!

Re: 67 C10 "Green Gobblin" straight from the field!

Now with my new found motivation since the motor runs i stripped the rest of the truck down to see what i might be able to use. Other than all the 5 lug swap parts i will need the dash and part of the firewall.

Re: 67 C10 "Green Gobblin" straight from the field!

Ok I finally got my parts!!!! Thanks LMC and summit! New floor, rockers, cab, corners, fender skirts, Rad support, basically all the metal to do this job is here Plus a ton of misc stuff out of the LMC Catalogue! A nice pair of 15x8 6 lug wheels and all the Heater box,core and controls from a few fellow board members. I actually think i might have ordered to much stuff as I'm running out of room to work on it now! But my kids happy with all the boxes!!!

The floor came from lmc and the firewall I actually picked up from my local truck/parts shop as it wasn't in stock anywhere else. Both pieces are tri-plus and look pretty good!

Thanks! I like the green 67s also that's pretty much the reason I bought it! Lol
The plan is to keep the patina as is and build the truck as a safe/fun driver for me and my kids. I'm fixing all the underside rust and a few ugly spots like bottom of fenders/box and blend them out to match the rest of the truck. I will redo the interior to keep it Clean and simple so the wife might even want to ride around in it!?

That's pretty funny because I'm pretty damn sure you beat me to buying that 72! Yeah almost every truck I've checked out here in manitoba has a crapload of rust. I'm also just a bit jealous of your parts pile Looks like fun!
