Soon to be joining the fold

Been a here for a few years but have been playing on the 73-87 side. I will be picking up a 67' SWB frame for a Father- Son project with my 71 year old father. More info and pictures to follow. I welcome all good advice and suggestions. Preliminary plans once I find a cab and bed:

Possible 396 big block / Muncie drive train
5/7 drop
Step side bed
Factory steelies or rallys

Mike

Re: Soon to be joining the fold

if you haven't gotten all your parts yet, I have an extra '68 frame sitting in my garage available in good shape. it has a swb stepside bed on it in not so good shape, but repairable.
either way, good luck on your project this forum is the best place to get advice on your build.

Re: Soon to be joining the fold

Thanks primetime. I will start a build thread as soon as I pick up the frame and start wrenching on it. 1st thing after it is cleaned up and painted is to start the (5) lug conversion. I saved the 10 bolt 5 lug rear and front suspension from my 82' SWB 2wd before I hailed it off. From what I have read the may be easy/ hard but we will give it a try. I figure it may save me a few bucks.
