Hope you get what you want out of it. Nows the time to sell patina'd trucks I guess. Everybody wants one.

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 
Shawn, what is the backspacing on your rear steel wheels? 15x8's? Wheel Vintiques? Good luck with the sale man, hope it goes to someone who took as much pride in it that you did.

grwnded71 07-19-2013 02:11 PM

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 
ok, I looked back at the thread, if your wheel had a 4" backspace with a 1" spacer pushes the wheel out like it would have 3" backspacing....looks good. Im getting ready to order some rear wheels, going to make a custom order with wheel vintiques, 15x8's with a 3" back space i think is what im going to go with

Keep in mind Brett that my wheels are 15x7. And thanks guys for the nice words. Everytime I look at the old girl my heart sinks thinking that this may be the last week I'll have her. :(

Don't do it! Just buy another car you can drive the family in. It's not like you HAVE to put money into your truck. Or you can donate it to me. :haha:

Does he still have it? It was for sale on Ebay a while back.

It's changed hands a few times since you sold it. But it's gone from one friend to another

So today my dad sends me a link to an ebay ad saying check this truck out, and to my surprise I see its your truck Shawn! Sad to see you are letting her go, but I understand how it goes. I do however feel honored to be included in your ebay photos (3rd to last picture, standing at the front of the truck, made me laugh when I saw that)! So when it sells do I get some kind of residuals for my appearance? :lol:
