This is how it all began. Stripped and ready for the \'67 front clip. 6 in a row to make it GO. The cockpit. Replaced cab corners and rockers. Some mad arc welding skills ... lol Kind of like me -- patched, ugly, prolly not right, but effective! sorry if this slowed down the server and all that. i tried to resize them as best as i could. just thought you guys would like to see whats been happening. I stripped the front end down in one weekend, so, progress is quite smooth so far. Plans you might ask? well. mostly stock. '67 front clip. keeping the 292, with headers and either 3x1 offy or 2x2 custom. 33-ish tires on 16.5 rims. stock gears for now. hoping to convert the sm465 tailshaft to a 3 speed OD tailshaft..but..thats WAY up in the air. lets get it on the road first, eh? hoping to have her done for my senior Prom, or Graduation at the latest. but, thats alot of finger crossing. and who can turn a wrench with their fingers crossed? :p thanks again for everything guys. this site has been indespensible for me, on my stovebolt quest. and at 18, i have a bright, rusty future ahead of me. and i wouldn't have it any other way. thanks again. .sam.
1969 K20 , with a '67 front clip. fleetside. 292, 3x1 offy, headers. sm465 4spd. getting put back together, almost ready for paint. doing it all myself. 19 and lovin' it. "proper" is so over-rated. .later days. .sam.

not sure about paint yet. black w/ red? who knows..
thanks for the nice things said!
