Update - 15 March 03
When Craig put in his first submission,
we asked if he had any "before pictures" . . . well, Craig found a
scanner and sent em in! Thanks Craig! Looks like that young lad
about pushed the truck into the building!
I am happy you like my truck. Thank you for including it in your December submissions. As requested, here are some before photo's of my 67 K-10 Chevy.
The two pictures that I submitted in Dec. were taken with a digital camera. I had to go get a scanner to get these submitted. I purchased this truck 12 years ago for $250.00. Had to do some work to it along the way, but it was driven daily for 9 of those years. We have moved 6 times in 22 years with my company. I am currently in Canada. My daughter walks to school. It gets pretty cold up here in Whitecourt Alberta, so one morning about 3 years ago I offered to give my daughter a ride to school. She turned it down and I went to work. Later in idle conversation I mentioned to my wife that Rachel really enjoyed her walks to school. The wife says no she doesn't. She doesn't want to be seen in your truck. That is when I decided to change her mind. The truck I submitted in December is the result. She enjoys her rides to school now. I have always loved driving this old truck.

From Craig
My truck is a 1967 chevy 1/2 ton factory 4x4. Still running the 283 and stock 4 speed,
4:11 gear ratio. Been driving it about 12 years now. Last year I took it down to the frame.
This winter I am planning on finishing the truck. Just little details left to do.
I would like to find factory type power steering for it. If anyone has that sort of stuff let me know.
