TOTM - July 2006 - Fleeting Moment

Another great group of trucks this month. Thios month's winner of Truck of The Month is

John Fabris

1967 C10 Short Fleet
350 V8 with 700r4 transmission
4 wheel power disc brakes
has A/C, PW, PS, PB, hidden towhitch
Wood bed (Teak), rear gas tank with filler in rear stake pocket
lowered 4 inch in front, 6 inches in rear.

90% of the stuff I did to my truck was done after spending many hours researching here at 67-72chevytrucks, and I could not have done this truck as well as I did without this board. I want this truck to be an example for all of the guys and gals here to show that with time, info, and never giving up, anyone can build a sweet truck whether stock or custom.

My goal was to build a truck that at fist glance seems stock, but then as you look at it, you will see many custom things.

Great job John, and I'll be hitting you up for some of those tweaks.

Nice truck, I love your idea of a stock looking truck with suttle mods.

Re: TOTM - July 2006 - Fleeting Moment

*****en!!!

Thanks to all in the poll and in this thread!!!!

Like I said before, I could not have done this truck without all of the knowledge here!!!! The only thing that I did not do myself was the final paint, everything else was done after reading and researching this site on how to do things and where to buy the best parts....

All of you guys and gals rock
