Project: "THE CHEVY" 67 k10 lwb Trail Tuck

[Mxracer202]

I bought this truck from a friend last spring for $300. Its a 67 k10 lwb 4x4, originally it has the 292, sm465, drum to drum brakes, small window, 12 bolt rear, 10 bolt front end. She was sitting in a feild for im guessing 15 years before my friend bought her and then sold it to me.

The plans are to build a trail capable bad ass off roading machine! I want the truck to be able to handle almost anything that the Black Hills can throw at it mud, rocks, hill climbs, hopefully almost anything. Eventually 4" lift, maybe 3" body lift for now, 35's, 14 bolt rear Dana 60 front, 2.5 coil overs front and rear, so that means shock hoops front and back, beefed up tranny, bigger motor, removable winch, bumpers front and rear.

Ive spent the past year researching online and checking out what exactly what I want and slowly tearing it apart.The plan for the near future, basically get her driveable on and off road.

That includes: new radiator hoses, swap motors, finish tearing apart spare 292 I6 new gaskets plugs, oil filter, clean out rust in gas tank, check fuel lines/ brake lines, clean carb, put some drivable tires on. And the list goes on and on

Im a high school kid with a part time job nad an expensive girlfriend so this build is gonna take a while its going to be slow and meticulous. But ill keep you guys posted on my progress.

heres a few pics of what she looks like now:

Looks like a fun project, and by the way what type of mx racing do you do, my son rides motocross, mainly outdoors, he is now on a 250F, started on a 50. Both racing and our truck build have been a blast, I wish you all the luck on your racing and build!

Yea basically something like that...its the plan for now. I really thought that a flat bed would be stupid and not very functional but the more I lookeed in to it the more i realized it was a pretty good idea. I if a flat bed is what we decide then yea it will be similar. we've got a utility truck that i think wouyld be an awesome idea...but they look super heavy.

Seems to be more pain in the ass then fun but i love it! I race 125 intermediate on a 250f but Im thinking about selling my bike for a street bike instead I would really hate too but the vehicle i drive now it a gass hog

thanks for the luck ima gonna need it

[67chevy1series]

any progress????? i hope you find another 67 bed... just my .02367 cents

[Mxracer202]

ehh not exactly much just a few thing i went up the otherday and pulled the other bed side off and started putting on new parts for the spare I6. Ive also decided that I wanna paint my slotted rims black so im gonna get some paint here in a couple days (as soon as the weather warms up again) and start on them and get em mounted, now I can pull her down and get some real progress done. ill get some pics soon

[Mxracer202]

heres what ive done so far nothing much, but still a litttle progress.

This was stuck in the gas tank, it was the locking mechanism on the back of the locking gas cap. couldnt figure how to get it out with out damaging any thing so i just grabbed on to it with a vice grip and hammered away

Got the motor mounts finally. Went to put on the 67 clamshell mounts on the 73 I6 and the passenger top hole wouldnt line up?????? so I drilled out the hole so it would fit, now it lines up. But the urethane mounts wont line up right and they dont even line up?? does any one know why? or what I can do to tfix this?
