Painted the bed, all the block sanding made it pretty straight.

Re: My 68 Chevy journey
 

Bed looks great John! Is that a Camaro fender i see ? :uhmk:

Re: My 68 Chevy journey
 

Good job!

Re: My 68 Chevy journey
 

Yep that is a camero fender, wonder if someone would spot it. It is another buddy of ours car and it is a ss, convertible, I believe it is a 68 also. We were primering his parts for him.

Re: My 68 Chevy journey
 

such a nice lookin piece of work, silver looks great inside and out

Re: My 68 Chevy journey
 

Put the bed on the truck, been a long road to put this back together. I drove it around most of the day. I am so excited!

Re: My 68 Chevy journey
 

Wow, that truck has come a long way! Looks great!

Re: My 68 Chevy journey
 

We got the taillights and blinkers working, going from 1998 wiring to 1968 not as complicated as I thought. Had one light on the back that was more dim than the other and it was simply new paint in the way of the ground. Scraped it away and it work like it was supposed to.

So the gas tank out of a 98 S10 blazer fits. I see you had to cut the frame and I like it. I might look into that. Nice truck. gdavis 68swb steep Florida

The finish product

Re: My 68 Chevy journey
 

Had a quick question for ya. Are you running the stock truck manifolds it looks like it from your picture. I just put my 5.7 in from a 2000 van and the manifolds would not come close to fitting. Thanks

Plexi-glass on the instrument cluster and lights. It is a glove box door and a 98 cluster behind the hole cut out in the glove box door. The back side of the plexi-glass is painted black except where the gauges are, turned out well.

Re: My 68 Chevy journey
 

Put red door panels and sunvisors in my truck, now need to have the seat recovered. I am thinking a black seat with red trim. Also put on a rearview mirror, it was driving me crazy without one.

Re: My 68 Chevy journey
 

I would do black seat with rd inserts or with red seat with black inserts, that is my idea.

Re: My 68 Chevy journey
 

Looks awesome! That's come a long way!

Re: My 68 Chevy journey
 

This weekend we are going to attempt to put this in, will take pics of install.

Re: My 68 Chevy journey
 

hey can i ask where did you get those side amrker lights?

Re: My 68 Chevy journey
 

Side marker lights came out of a 80's model van at the pickapart. The 98 truck wiring had the spot for lights so we just wired them in. Pretty cool they are just supposed to be reflectors in 68 i believe.
