Project Heaven about to begin again - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Alright everyone so I have returned from Iraq and now have my life turned back on here in the states. I am currently in Seattle, WA on business but after this trip the tedious task of working on Project Heaven begins again. As far as I can tell I need a few things.

- Measurements for mounting a 96 stepside bed on the back of my 67. As far as ways in which some of you mounted the newer step bed on the back.

- cowl induction hood

- rear end (5 lug) that I can convert to disk brakes. Or maybe one of you has a rear end already converted to disk brakes.

- disk brake conversion kit for the rear end.

- RIMS. I know I want to go with 18" in the front and 20" in the rear. I just dont know which rims I want to put on it.

- digital dash. I would like to convert my dash from a 72 dash w/o a tach to a digital dash w/ a tach.

- drivers side inner fender well

- a few miscellaneous chrome parts for the truck.

- a chrome tilt automatic steering column

Anyways, I am really excited about the project taking off again. It has been along time in waiting and I have been gone a really long time. I know that in the end you guys will be more than helpful and occasionally some comedy relief when I do something stupid, which of course I will relay on to all of you guys. So as many of you have done in the past, HERE WE GO!!!!!!

Sounds like a nice plan
