Pro touring trucks! Let's see them!!!

sweet 67 dude!

So, my daily driver truck is probably not going to last much longer. I am kicking around the idea of an older pre-smog (1973) full size Chevy truck. I would like to throw a mild pro-touring treatment at it with a small block. Add AC and power windows and make it my new daily driver. Does anyone know what year is the best bang for the buck? Pre '73 and, lowest cost in the end factoring in aftermarket support.

yeah.....Larry I heard your truck kinda whinneing.....

Put my rear sway bar on, buffed it and out for a country drive. Much improved, now time for some LS1 brakes.

Yeah, my pinion bearing is gone. I think between needing tires, a pinion bearing and rear brakes the truck isn't worth it.

Finally got it running!!



I'll be taking it to the exhaust shop on Wednesday to get the headers connected, then getting the TV cable adjusted so I can drive it!! It's not been on the road since November.

Awesome thread! I absolutely love PT trucks! The 67-72 chevy's are sure catching my eye...

Can't wait to post my finished project.

Thought I would post a few pics of the '95 Sierra I built back in '00 & '01.
I designed and built the all steel bumper, Modified the 'glass hood and rear roll pan, filled the gate handle, stake pockets and 3rd brake light and did a lot of little things no one notices.



The "stealth" flames on the lid and sides of the truck are only visible in direct light.



I made the aluminum step plates with a router.


It's been on the track at MIS a few times.

The engine has headers a TBI spacer, Jacobs Pro Street ignition, a hypertech chip and a lot of jethot coating on the brackets


This is my truck reflected in my buddies '76 Eldorado convertibles hubcap.

Working on the van I haven't even driven the truck this year... Haven't put insurance on it.. Kind of sad. I'll get it out for back to the bricks though.

First post ever on PT, sorry... been a member here for over 2 years and mostly lurk and watch all of the awesome builds and discussions. Anywho, I ran across this truck today and thought it needed to make an appearance in this thread.

Badass 47 Chevy:









And here's a link to the Speedhunters feature article on the truck:

I saw this and thought "boy that truck sure does look familiar", then I read the article and seen it was built here in my small town in MO. Really cool truck, definitely different from what you usually find around here.

[Mike Holleman]

I frickin love this truck. And no respect for the cones either,lol.

[Tig]

I've got a few projects in the hopper, but this is going back under the knife soon.

I've got a ZR2 I beat on daily. If you do an LSX swap, please let me know how you made out.
