That new truck put a dent in your old truck allowance! Christmas has put a dent in mine.

Re: My 68 swb build.

Re: My 68 swb build.
 

Ya it cut into my allowance pretty good. Does anyone have a good stepside tailgate and if anyone could provide measurements on bed dimensions.

LONE STAR THROWDOWN CUSTOM CAR , TRUCK AND BIKE SHOW Feb 24-26,2012 Just a little info on who’s behind this show for some people that dont know the story! It came about when Todd (Radar) Hendrex and Lonnie Ford were sitting around talking about all the old shows that they have been to thru out the years. Thats when they decided to THROWDOWN one of the shows that would bring it all back to what really started this whole scene. Plain and simple this show is going to bring back that old school swing of just hanging out with good friends and showing off our rides! Don’t miss out on one hell of a THROWDOWN!

Re: My 68 swb build.
 

I guess that is one good thing about having no garage to work in. I have to put all the tools away every time I am finished for the day.

Now that you found all those tools... get back to work so we have something to follow ;)

Re: My 68 swb build.
 

heres what you call a "update"...a new home for the time being. Britt said that it cant go in her garage until it will run under its own power and can be able to move it in/out of the garage with out pushing...aka, almost completely done...bummer. so if anyone wants to help get this achieved, like finding a tailgate, getting the bed ready...dont be shy to jump in.

Re: My 68 swb build.
 

oh believe me, I WANT TO SO BAD!! but i need some help. moving it to this unit and paying to have it moved set me back over 500 bucks. i talked to a guy here in conroe about stripping and phosphating the parts, but he wants 400 to do it. yikes....lol

Just because i found 95% of my tools doesnt mean theyre organized....gonna try and do that tomorrow tho.

Re: My 68 swb build.
 

ya but do you know if they have to be altered before paint? like for alignment etc?

Re: My 68 swb build.
 

Looks good.


take a look at my http://68 Four door build

Re: My 68 swb build.
 

From everything I have read about their parts they are top notch and should fit like stock. Still I think just to be safe I would fit everything together first before blowing it apart for paint. Nothing worse than having to grind away at fresh paint to make something fit.

Re: My 68 swb build.
 

Man that thing looks SWEET!!!
