67 C-10 restoration complete

This is what I started with:

This is what I have now:

One of the coolest things I did was relocate the fuel tank from the cab to under the bed. I used a fuel filler door off of a 96 silverado. Worked out pretty well.

I've owned the truck since I was 16 (back in 1996) and I drove it to HS in black primer. I dropped a 350 and 700R4 in place of the tired old 250 six banger and 3 speed. It still had the original rear axle but the front end now sports power disk brakes via ECE 6 lug rotors and a 1 1/4" front sway bar. I installed dual 2 1/4" exhaust system. I did ALL of the paint/body work etc. on the truck at home. The interior is not done yet and there is nothing fancy under the hood (it's a driver, not a show truck.) I'm not completely done, but it is drivable. The 700R4 makes cruzin really nice. It also has bowtie overdrives tv made ez and TC lock-up kits installed. I'm sure there's lots more, but thats all I can think of for now.

ENJOY

very very cool. I have a 94', that I have similar history with. Still driving it in fact. I know its not really that old now, but some day it will be. I'd like to do the same thing to it that you did there.

My frame is pretty bent though. It's just straight enough where its in spec, but I'd definatly like to find a new frame when I do the restoration. I'd like to see my son driving it when he's sixteen. I'm 22, so it'd be pretty old by then. Be kind cool with a modern drivetrain and what not.

Thanks for all the compliments fellas.

I only live 6 miles from work so the truck will see a lot of daily driver duties. (I didn't drop $$$ into disk brakes and a 700R4 to drive it once a month!) The Z71 is fast approaching 95K and I'd like to keep her for quite some time as well, so the 67 will be taking over weekly driving and the Z71 will be my weekend/trip vehicle (I travel a lot on the weekends.)
