67 Vermillion Red CST Build

Here are some pictures of my truck. I picked this up a year and a half ago and I am starting to make some progress.
My goal is a nice reliable driver. Also, I wanted something to do with my twin boys that would give them some mechanical knowledge and ability.
I am going to put a modern LS engine in it mainly for reliability and also because it is really inexpensive power.
I purchased a wrecked 2006 GMC Denali pickup with 96000 miles on it for $2000, parted it out and sold $1850 dollars worth of parts. I kept the engine, (LQ9 6.0L) 4L65E trans, gas pedal, computer and all the wiring, exhaust etc. So I am into it $150.00. That is why I say inexpensive.
The truck is pretty solid. The floors and cab mounts are really nice. It does have rusted rockers, and the cowl in rusted through.

Not sure why that one pic keeps posting sideways. Tried changing it 3 times.

Re: 67 Vermillion Red CST Build

Sweet. I have a full sister to that truck. If you are going to run an LS are you going to run a digital gauges set-up? If so I would be interested in your original cluster.

I am not sure yet. I need to look at some. I dont really like look of the Dakota Digital. I want it to look original. Classic Instuments has one that looks close, but not quite. Maybe have classic instuments retrofit so it looks original.

Re: 67 Vermillion Red CST Build

This is a picture of me and my sister in front of my Dads truck. 72 I believe.

I was born in 67 so I would have been 4 or 5.

Re: 67 Vermillion Red CST Build

Hope I can get it all back together. That took me a couple of hours, after putting up some more lights in the garage.

Re: 67 Vermillion Red CST Build

Progress is slow but I am making some at least. Ended up purchasing another cab that popped up on Facebook and has good metal where mine is rusted out.

Re: 67 Vermillion Red CST Build

I too have a relative to yours (LOL).
Mine was a 283/glide pickup, with nearly no other options, but has factory AC. Mine did not come with engine or trans. Mine has a SB 406/TH400 waiting for it...
Mine has driver sun visor only.
I have seen color charts here, they call that color Vermillion Poly.

Re: 67 Vermillion Red CST Build

Mine has the fancier gauge package, with AC (as I mentioned). Has a driver side sun visor, only , but no arm rests on either door.

Re: 67 Vermillion Red CST Build

Re: 67 Vermillion Red CST Build

It's been a while since I have posted or made much progress. I started fitting part of the patch but it's been so cold my helmet fogs up and I can't see what I'm doing. I have also had a couple other projects come up. I purchased a hemi Durango at the auction that had a bad cam and lifters. Had to move the truck out of the garage for a while.
Today I started building my LFD cab tip and flip dolly. It's been a fun project.

If you could, I would love to see the detail of the insides of the doors where red paint ends and the fawn begins, very interested in that detail on original paint trucks.

Can't post pictures all of a sudden. Keep getting an security error. I guess you can only post one or two at a time. If you want to see more see my Instagram 67_10_garage Much easier to post there.
