1967 C20 Project
Good morning, been a while since I have posted an update on this project. It was pushed to the side for a couple weeks while I did some repairs and maintenance on my newly acquired chore/farm truck (1997 K3500). So, over the holiday weekend I managed to get the new motor stabbed into the truck...- ebodell08

Hope this works. Trying to attach some pics but system is acting a bit wonky.- ebodell08

1967 C20 Project
Quick update. Got quite a bit done during my week off. Replaced all the wheel cylinders and the master cylinder. Installed the new dash pad (more work than I thought it would be), defroster hoses, vents, and glovebox liner. I still need to do the felt pads and the floormat. I did get the engine...- ebodell08

Got the bumpers, cowl panel, and front fender liners back on. Pulled the door seals and ground the old adhesive off as well. Got the seat I pulled from a grain truck dyed black. I used some VHT vinyl dye. Seemed to work ok but I used two entire cans and some of the spots still seem a bit thin. I...- ebodell08

Should I trade my 73 C20 for a 1998 Suburban
I would not, seems like you already made up your mind not to anyway. Does a '98 still have to go thru emissions in CA? I don't really know anything about the regs there but I have heard they are kinda tough. If there is an inspection issue might be another reason for the offer. Though I don't...- ebodell08

1967 C20 Project
Made some progress over the weekend. Got the truck cleared and started to get the limited trim mounted. I also got the lettering on the tailgate and the hood lettering. Next weekend I will get my son's help to get the bumpers back on it. Hope to also start on the interior this week (it is...- ebodell08

As it sat when I pulled it from Dad's backyard: As it stands right now: I will get it cleared over the next week and even out the paint.- ebodell08

The color is paint code 503, light green. This was the truck original color when it was born back in 1967. Growing up we had a '71 Suburban in this color and I have always liked how it looked on these trucks. Thanks for the kind words. Keeps me motivated. My wife gets tired of looking at pics...- ebodell08

Latest pics of the progress over the weekend. Also got the two front power windows replaced in my daily driver. Was a good weekend in the shop.- ebodell08

1967 C20 Project
Was over at the shop where the new motor is sitting and got a picture of it. Not the best shot. Happened to be over there as the FIL's '66 Chevelle is getting some carb work done. So we were having a "safety" meeting after work on Friday. In other news the truck is now 100% light green...- ebodell08

Got the back of the cab sprayed. Doors are the last item on the list, they have been stripped and primed so I just have to wet sand and spray them and much of the bodywork will be done. It is not perfect but I have to keep moving so I do not lose motivation. This was never intended to be a...- ebodell08

08 Cobalt
Not trying to create drama here. I buy both online and at the local NAPA. We try and give them as much business as we can. The counter guys know their stuff and can find parts for the tractors, grain truck and personal vehicles. We pay a more at times, but, when you are down on Sunday we can...- ebodell08

Got the hood painted over the long weekend. I also got the truck masked off and the cab primed. Did a lot of spot putty work on it and will hopefully get it sanded this week. Pretty sure I have a few more spots to correct before I color it. Making progress. Will be glad when the bodywork is done...- ebodell08

Quick update. Finally got to spend more than 30 minutes on the truck this past weekend. Wife had her knee replaced so I was kinda busy with other things the past 2-3 weeks. Got the hood stripped and primed. Ready for final sanding and topcoat. Only had one small rock ding to fill otherwise was...- ebodell08

1967 C20 Project
Weather has finally turned it seems and my time has somewhat been freed up a bit. I pushed the truck back over in the shop a couple weeks ago so work can resume on it. Got some sanding done on the rain gutters and A pillars along with the hood. Next I am going to spot putty the...- ebodell08
