Attachment 1523993Im sure I don't have to tell you how many time I've assembled and disassembled this truck? We're doing the final assembly now I just have the front bumer modifications and some odds and ends! I've got over 300 hrs in the bed alone.

Attachment 1524750 I'm a fan of the 67-68 moldings and since this truck was a base model I had to make provisions! I have a good set of mock up moldings.

The moldings will set off the truck really well.

Drifters 04-24-2016 11:06 AM

Re: 68c10/c6
 
Thanks Doug I thought the same thing! Some trucks look good with out moldings I myself think the 67-68 moldings look really good they break up the side of the truck! Ron

I thought I'd modify the front bumper so we filled the bolt holes and narrowed it 3/4" on each side! Attachment 1527209

was that pretty straight forward? Just cut out a section and did everything line right back up?

Drifters 04-27-2016 09:13 PM

Re: 68c10/c6
 
Thanks jjzepplin I've always thought that these trucks just needed a little tweaking haha! Rod Run take a piece of 3/4 tape run it straight up from top to bottom about 1 inch to the outside of the outermost bolt hole and and cut along the outside of each side of the tape and the pieces will line up perfectly for welding!

Thanks. I was always thinking it might, but I just wasn't 100% sure.

Right after I finish shaving my roof rails, that will be next. Actually, I probably do it while working on my rails, because that crap gets tedious
