Just my opinion, but I would look at a 700R4. I think you would be happier with the automatic instead of a stock 4 speed. I have the four speed in my 72 4x4 and wish I had a five speed. If you do a search on tranny swaps, it should give you some varied opinions. I've never had a 3 on the tree.

Dude! You're brave driving a 38 year old truck for 32 hrs. that soon after buying it. Glad you had no problems! Keep on Truckin!

Re: Post Your Ride 67-72 Trucks
 

AirborneC10, what advantage do you want with the 4 spd? If it's for better highway driving, it won't help. High gear is still 1:1 The only advantage is closer ratio shifting. If that's what you still want though, any Muncie, T10, or plain old Saginaw four speed should install fairly easy with little to no modification.

Here's some pics of mine with the new paint.

Good lookin truck, That area is beautiful and the old buildings are very cool! Awesome photos.

Re: Post Your Ride 67-72 Trucks
 

wow I love your truck!!! what paint is that? (mfg and etc) I love the studs on the grille. that truck is sick!!!

Re: Post Your Ride 67-72 Trucks
 

I know I put mine up before but today is a very special day for me. :metal:
After the second try I finally passed the German inspection. :cf::hot::ele:
I could have got it done the first time but I had a mobile inspector check it out and he thought it was too loud.
He didn´t have the right stuff with him so today I had to drive her to one of the stations where they check the noise.
It was quiet enough and he sent me on my way.
I think he just wanted to drive my truck.....and make 96 Euros for 10 minutes work.
I also got to personalize my plates, FÜ means the city where I got it registered (Fuerth). NW for the great Northwest where I found her. You all know what the 68 stands for and the H means Historic.

Re: Post Your Ride 67-72 Trucks
 

Thats a real pretty 68. Congrats

Re: Post Your Ride 67-72 Trucks
 

Man,I´m jealous that you got your inspection and plates!
Your truck is areal beauty!

Re: Post Your Ride 67-72 Trucks
 

You make me sick on sooo many levels! I love Bavaria, I'v been there a number of times because I work for BMW. Yellow and white is my absoulute favorite color combo (mine is blue :confused:). Last but not least, your truck is waaay nicer than mine!:whine:
BTW, how do you get that thing down those narrow a$$ streets?

Re: Post Your Ride 67-72 Trucks
 

Hey, thanks man!! The paint is PPG satin (black) the red is PPG california red, I'm pretty sure on the satin but I'll double check and let you know!

Re: Post Your Ride 67-72 Trucks
 

alright man, thanks. I have been deciding satin or flat, and I think you just wrote me off on satin. If you dont mind me asking, how much do you have in the paint? You can pm me so we dont fill up this thread... Thanks again :metal:

Re: Post Your Ride 67-72 Trucks
 

You mean, like this? If you do, be careful and put them in BEFORE adding a new bench seat if doing so, (like I did in my infinite wisdom) or you'll be smacking your head on them!:dohh:

Re: Post Your Ride 67-72 Trucks
 

Thanks!
If that´s your Dragster up there, I´ll bet you it´s faster than mine. ;)

Thanks Volker!
The time and money finally paid off. It costed a lot of nerves too.
Sorry for making you jealous.

Thanks! I love Bavaria too but the rules suck!
Glad to hear that you like yellow and white, if I ever get it painted it´s going to be the same colors.
How do I get it down those streets? Grease up the sides of the truck, take the mirrors off, blow the horn 3 times, shut your eyes and hit the gas.
Just kidding, I haven´t been down a street yet where it wouldn´t fit.
I am planning on getting some pictures in front of the castle here in town but I have to get permission from the Town Hall first.
This is going to be my biggest problem but I think she will fit:

Re: Post Your Ride 67-72 Trucks
 

After seeing Greg´s I thought I would post a couple of pictures I got last christmas of my cousins project. I told him if he ever gets tired of it he should let me know, I will finish it for him. He ain´t gonna sell it to no one.

Re: Post Your Ride 67-72 Trucks
 

This thread is awesome, great way to see all the different ways to build these great trucks!

Question for HoupPhotography, what is your suspension set-up? I notice you have front drums and have read you have bags. Any more information on how you got as low as you are? Could be wheels etc but just curious as it looks great.

Re: Post Your Ride 67-72 Trucks
 

My Crew Cab project (currently in paint)
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f1...n/DSCF0016.jpg

I had all the stuff to do that at one time. a 3dr burb that was already cut behind the 3rd dr where the previous owner was going to shorten it. I bought it and was going to mate it with the back of cab from an extra cab I had. Then stretch the frame of the standard cab 4x4. Plans were to drop in a duramax,chip and alison trans. then love every time I went to the dunes with all by buddies in there 4dr f350's........ ahh the dreams that never come true.


Due to money and situations at the time I scrapped it all since there was no where to keep it.:waah:

Nice truck! love to see what it looks like now!

Re: Post Your Ride 67-72 Trucks
 

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...972/sigpic.jpg
Here are my projects. 71 Longhorn 4x4 conversion, blazer tank, shaved emblems,trim,filler neck,camper flaps on the bed. PC'd candy red frame and springs. PC'd satin black core support and inner fenders, PC'd all the under bed supports and tank silver to match the paint. 383-TH350-NP205. dana 60 front w crossover steering, 14 bolt rear w/ disk brakes. 4.56 gears detriot rear, trac loc front and strange axle shafts. Just added the SS flaming river column and SS 8" booster and billet Master Cyl. cowl hood, 8" soft ride springs with 3" body lift.

The 57 runs and drives but has to wait in line behind the longhorn.

the 78 is the wifes truck she has been working on since she was 15 (she's now 25) it was a pretty much stock driver just cleaned up when we met 6 yrs ago. Now it has 6" lift and 16.5x12 weld wheels on 33" tires. a few other small upgrades but shes kicking around the idea of working on it or selling it to buy an 62-66 chev car of some kind.

lastly the 01 is the trailer hauler and parts getter for now. Nothing special 6" ifs superlift 20" XD wheels and 35" toyo's
