Hey guys, I have 2 projects going at once and this one is kind of throwing me in circles. I need some sheet metal for my c10, rear fenders to be exact but, every site I go to has fenders for 53-66 and the 68-72 they all skip the 67. according to classic industries and lmc the 67 fenders have a specific body line the others don't and apparently no one carries them so, Does anyone know if 66 or 68-72 rear fenders will just bolt on? Also, I am looking to put discs brakes on the front and keep the 6-lug setup so if anyone can offer some info up on that I would be very appreciative, I am not looking to buy the brake kits out of a catalog i really would rather pick it up at a local parts house or junkyard if I can and piece it together and not spend 800 dollars that the catalogs are asking for something that looks like it should be an easy upgrade. EDIT: I forgot to mention it's a shortbed stepside.
i would think the fenders will just bolt om from 53-80 something the basic bed didnt change much this truck is a little new for this board
Can't help on the fenders, but IMO the 1967 Chevy is THE most beautiful pickup ever built. The 68-72 stepside fenders should look right, anyway... As far as front discs go, Chevy built a line of trucks in the 70s called a "heavy half". IIRC, the 2WD versions used 6 lug front hubs. Everything else I can think of would be 4WD or import...
I love the 67-72 Chevy pickups....I own a 72 K5...I talk about that stuff at www.67-72chevytrucks.com .....not on the HAMB, as it is not furom appropriate.
Thank you both for your replies I will look into the 70s truck you mentioned ex and as far the truck being a little new for this board 57 you're prolly right I tried doing some searches first and saw a few 65-68 c10 posts and wasn't sure so took a chance I hope not to piss off the hamb gods too much.
I don't think anyone will get to pissed. It more of a respect thing for Ryan. This is his house....It's about traditional hot rods. A 67 chevy is a cool truck, but it's not a traditional hot rod, nor does it fit the pre-64 nature of this board. BTW not trying to be a dick. Just trying to help out so you dont get a ton of deleted stuff.
You'd be better served over at www.stovebolt.com which is the premier forum for 1972-earlier Chevy and GMC trucks of all types and sizes. Tons of knowledge over there!
No worries I run a few message boards and totally understand and appreciate the info and meant no disrespect to anyone here. YOu all pretty much got both my questions asnwered pointing me to the other boards and I appreciate it, never owned a truck just 2 55 gm cars lol
The question is OFF TOPIC, but since it's there- The reason they don't offer '67 rear fenders is that they are a ONE-YEAR only fender- they are exactly the same as the '68-'72 rear fenders except they DO NOT have the provision for the side marker reflectors. Classic Performance Products (CPP) in Anaheim, CA has the parts for a 6-lug front disc brake conversion.
Yup - gotta blank off the side markers also the "stepside" bed from the 90's has a crease that lines right up with the cab door o/t yes
