Scrounging the CL for the deal of the century and I came across this carved up "67", they must not research what they're selling... looks like a 68 to me..? Pretty, but a closer look reveals it's likely a shortened lwb and not really - an original that's a "body off restore" And, the price??? maybe half of the asking... What to you think?

PS - look at their website pics - Gives a much more accurate look and the underbelly! Obviously a shortened frame, heated coils, no track bar upgrade, no disc's......

I agree with you, it is NOT a 67. And I have never seen someone cut the frame straight, usually you at least notch it. Looks good at first though.

My guess would be a 67 since they are probably going by the title.But with aftermarket fenders and bedsides thus the sidemarkers.I don't think he has a clue as to the economy he just wants what he has in it out of it.

Interesting rear lowering blocks; I never thought of cutting up another set of trailing arms like that to make em.

That is possible, but I was looking at the instrument panel and the e-brake. A 67 has headlights and wipers on the left and choke on the right. The e-brake is a hand brake under the column, not a foot pedal. Unless there is a weird half year thing, but that is how my 67 is.

its obviously a mutt.
the cab is a 69 or 70 since it has the foot parking brake but still has a throttle rod.
probably the only ting 67 is the VIN tag and maybe the frame.

Factoy tach, vac gauge and much, much more! These pictures don't do it justice.

Educate me...was a "vac" guage an option for a C10?

big_al_71 · 08-27-2009, 09:48 PM

My 67 doesnt have the choke knob any more, it also has a pedal for the e brake not a handle. I thought the handle was ugly. It also has a 72 gas pedal with a throttle cable. But it is a 67 tight down to the small rear window

nope. C/40 and up optional with gas engines.

I have done this. It works great. But you need an adjustable panhard bar or your truck goes down the road crooked.
