HAO;p My First Project in 25yrs 67 Sm Window LWB to SWB Conv - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

chris909 · 10-31-2014, 10:26 AM

Hey Y'all,
Real NEW about posting in this great forum, so be gentle... lol Well here it goes...
I've had truck for a little a little over a year and figured I would go ahead and start a build thread. She is a 1967 LWB Chevy getting shortened to a SWB that I have decided to nickname “Dolly” Basically because she is originally from Tennessee, she has worked hard most her life, she still looks great for her age, and who couldn't love a grill and a set of headlights like that. I found her on some Facebook Resale page my wife buys crap from. When up to see her that day, come to find out she was being stored at some “Meth House” in Birmingham, from that moment I knew I could provide her a much better life

So a little bout me, 44 yrs old been married 21 years to my understanding, beautiful wife Michelle, work a 40 off on the weekends to play. Nuff of that stuff here's is some Pics of 1 years progress, enjoy and thanks!! ~Chris

Budget Project Plans / Specs Are:
Not to get kicked out of the Neighborhood HOA;p
Air Bags
383 Stroker Fully Rolling Engine
TH350 Trans
12 Bolt w/ Mini Spool or Locker
LWB Frame Shortened
Original Trailing Arms, New Longer Panhard Bar
Not Sure on Wheels as of yet, or Color Def not Red
More to come:

First Couple of Pics when I went to meet “Dolly”
