New guy with new '67 project
Hi guys I'm new here and just bought the next project on my list , I found this 1967 on craigslist in Kentucky , It's a roller that had a 6 and 3 speed 6 lug and it came with another cab/ doors/ fenders and finished frame with discs and bagged no bed all for $1,250.00, So if anyone has a short wide bed thats repairable I'm a buyer ! and looking . I also found a running 292 6cyl on craigslist for $200.00 That came out of a dump truck specs unknown other than it runs good they put a big block in it's place . so the saga begins on these 2 trucks. Wish me well !

Re: New guy with new '67 project
welcome to the forum,,,
i would think a 6 motor from a dump truck has had a hard life. small block from a junkyard might be less headache's....

Re: New guy with new '67 project
1967----------------------Well after some of my fantastic computer skills I've almost learned how to post on this site , Here are the found in a field pictures . The '67 small window came with extra doors and fenders .
the story I am told is the truck was a restoration project for a soldier in Afganistan who was killed in action and his family sold the truck to the man I bought it from , if the story holds true and I can find out who he was there will be some sort of memorial to him on the truck for his heroic service when the truck is done and I will find his family and let them know it got finished and has his name on it .
