diggerdan11 Posted November 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Floor looks good for a 67-72, unless there is a lot of hidden rust... I agree with the atomic orange you will like it for sure, my truck is painted Copperhead and its amazing when the sun hit it (although sun is a rare thing to see in Alaska when it rains all summer) lol. If you ever have any question about 67-72's ask away, I just finished up doing my dad's 1972 K20 Super Cheyenne. Looks like you have a solid start, good luck with the build! Yeah the floor is in pretty good shape. There is some light surface rust but that should sand out. It has rusted through on both sides where the footwell meets the outer cab corner. My body guy thinks he should jsut be able to replace those 3 panels and it should be good. Besides that the only other rust is in the rear cab corner, and the passenger inner fender under the battery. Besides that there is very little rust. BTW Matt I started a build thread on 67-72chevy http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/showthread.php?t=592673 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diggerdan11 Posted April 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Well it has been a crazy last few months. I have been working on my House non-stop so I have not had anytime for my truck. There is a huge life change in my future and I have to get my house ready to sell ASAP. Anyway I have made a little more progress on my truck. I have the interior almost stripped clean, just need to removed the rest of the HVAC system, and hide all the wires. We are not going to remove the wires, but I think we are planning on replacing the entire wire harness eventually. removed the Gas tank. We are buying a new one that goes under the bed. Began removing smaller parts from the under the Hood, as well as the hood itself. We are planning on removing the engine and tranny as well, and we are going to re-paint them both. Hopefully this weekend we will remove the front fenders, radiator core support, all the HVAC system and most of the smaller parts under the hood. My body guy wants us to leave ti so its rollable and steerable, so will will strip everything else we can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diggerdan11 Posted October 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Well it's been a long process but my body/paint guy finally picked up the truck so he can start the body and paint work. We told him to take his sweet time but his wife said he was going to try to finish it before Christmas so he can have some extra cash for presents.

diggerdan11 Posted October 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Buy the way we finally decided on a color. No turning back now. I think its going to look pretty Awesome. I guarantee you there is not another 67-72 Chevy truck this color, and after a long internet search I cant find any other vehicles painted this same color that are not M3's. So its going to be very unique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully has has it does soon. He told me he wanted to get it done before his baby come in April. In the mean time, I have been cleaning, sanding, and re-painting some of the under the hood parts to prepare them for re-assembly. Im getting super excited.

diggerdan11 Posted May 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Well my buddy has started making more progress on the truck. He told me that the bed is super straight which is very rare I guess. But it does have a ton of holes so its kinda a pain to work on but hes starting to work super hard on it so he can get it done. In the lase picture you can see his 68 he has been working on since he was a kid. Hes got it bagged and made it so it can be completley dropped to the ground. Pretty badass, he just never has time to work on his own project because he is always doing projects for someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downeast Johnny Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Great to see that your project is still coming ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diggerdan11 Posted June 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Great to see that your project is still coming ahead. Yeah its getting there. I told my buddy to take his time. He did not do much work this winter because he did not have heat in his shop, then his wife gave birith, and immediately she had to have surgery. So one thing after another. He is trying to bust it out this summer. So hopefully it will be done fairly soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xtremeta38 Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Going to be a pretty sick truck. Plus you'll always have the memories of doing the project with your dad. I've been hooked on these since Project Copperhead from Stacey David. Good luck with this beauty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been hooked on these since Project Copperhead from Stacey David. Good luck with this beauty. Yeah its always fun working on things with your father. This will be our second project together. We restored his original chevelle in the 90's. I hope to one day work on a project like this with my own son or daughter. My buddy who is doing the paint and body work is teaching his 10 year old son the tricks of the trade and his son is helping him out with my truck, which I think is pretty cool.
