A new guy saying hey!

[Geezer]

Hey all! I’m new here but not new to old chevies. If ya’ll don’t mind, I’ll stop in some and try to pick up a few tips for a recent project as well as show ya’ll what I’m up to. I picked up this 67 GMC a couple of weeks ago. It had been sitting in the weeds on my neighbors ranch since 1987 with the V 6 disassembled in the bed. The only option it has is power brakes, a th400, and a 10-bolt possi.

The green stuff all over the engine compartment is tree moss and mold.
Last weekend I gave it a bath and borrowed the EFI 350 and front suspension from an 88 sub I have lying around.

Getting that front end off was a pain with all the rusty bolts.

I was surprised just how little the frame and cross member had changed in 20 years. The complete cross member slid in place very easily.

10 of the 14 cross member bolt holes lined up with two being a half a hole off and the other being about an inch difference.

Every thing else bolted up in the original locations perfect except for the power steering box. I had to trim a corner off of the radiator support mount with the hot wrench and the grinder.

Well that’s all I’ve had time to do in the past two weeks but I’ve still got part of tomorrow to do a little more.
