Re: Changing my 67 away from the stock look for 2014
Mine is lowered now done correctly I just ordered a new power steering box today I put a new rebuit one on it but its always had slack I'm gonna pitch it ! I ordered the steering wheel in the first of this post I installed it and it is just waht I wanted looks cool and the size and dish gave me more room I am a growing boy and the stock steering wheel looked good but was getting kinda tight LOL , the weather has stoppd me from getting my speed shop logo painted they are giving good weather this week the guy I'm getting to paint my logos is a pro sign painter that paints coal truck doors for a living he is the best door logo guy that's ever been around here hope I can get them painted this week

Re: Changing my 67 away from the stock look for 2014
I will NEVER lower my '72. It has always been stock height and I've owned it for the last 13 years. Now,I do have (and have had for quite a while) plans to lift it 6"!! Just want to do something with the motor first. You see...it's a 4wd afterall. I may put real company door lettering for my contracting business once all that's done. I used to always have my trucks custom lettered by my good friend who is still at it after about 40 years.
He did this (my idea) on my '84 Silverado back in the '80s:

Re: Changing my 67 away from the stock look for 2014
I guess the thing about my truck that's bothering some of you is that its looked nice and neat and clean and shiny for so long nobody has stopped to think that the paint on it is 7 years old its not as nice as it was and I was the one that made it the way it is and can repaint it back solid black later f I want to and IF I every paint it again which I probly will it will be even slicker and shinyer than last time but for now I'm gonna have some fun with it , K that door logo looks great man !

Re: Changing my 67 away from the stock look for 2014
I think you're going about this the right way. A simple drop, a professionally done legitimate door logo and maybe some wheels (or keep the stockers bc it will still looks sweet) and you'll probably be held over for another few years.

I do think its a shame to alter a survivor like that...but it is YOUR survivor...be sure to keep us posted on your progress (or regress).

Re: Changing my 67 away from the stock look for 2014
I understand the shortage of room problem. I say go ahead with changing,but just one thing at a time like you've been doing. I have an idea that will be a change AND give you more room for what's next. Change the name on the title to mine...Ez Peezy!

Re: Changing my 67 away from the stock look for 2014
Let me go over the chanbes ive made to this truck in the last year or two ,
#1 I lowered it 3" 5" which I feel was perfect did this with CPP springs front and rear and also added front and rear sway bars and a adjustable rear trac bar , #2 I added chrome vent windows got a 67 only set from special k #3 I added chrome side mirrors #4 I added a red and white two tone custom steering wheel #5 I added AC so far I like everything I have done , Now planned ! #1 Lynn Camp speed shop door logos #2 A set of red cst door panels and white window cranks #3 wheel's ???? I have changed my mind on doing anything with the wheels and tires at this time because the hubcaps on this truck are like alphalpha's personality , #4 we will see ,,,,
