Yeah it's ugly now.........
 

BUT tomorrow I start tearin' it apart. The next time it is in one piece it will be a thing of beauty. Wish me luck, and thanks in advance for answering the huge amount of questions I will be asking during this project. :D

Good luck, sorry I won't be much help

Look's like a pretty clean start just pace your self so you don't get burned out....Last time my truck was on the road was 2-1-00 had to buy a blazer cause I missed driving my truck.....

Looks like a pretty good starting point... you're lucky to have the time & place (and everything else!) to tackle a frame-off! :D

Doesn't look all that bad right now. Good luck man.

That truck looks pretty straight and solid....great place to start a frame-off from :). What are your plans for it?

Re: Yeah it's ugly now.........
 

Truck looks good already! You cant have an ugly 67-68. Just those other years can be ugly ;) ;) haha All you need to do is paint it all one color and lower it and you are SET! ;0

Have fun with it!

I can relate....But as others have said it looks good now. To be really ugly you must add a few more colors to the mix.

Well I didn't get a lot done to the truck Sunday. After picking up the new compressor and sand blaster, then wiring up the 220 all I did was pull the diff cover. It has posi :cool: but 4.11 gears, I was hoping for 3.73 or at least a 3 series carrier. Hopefully I'll have time before this weekend to get the bed and front end off.

Been a while since I've posted. Went looking at some old threads. Including this one.

How's the truck coming along? Let's see some pics!

Re: Yeah it's ugly now.........
 

I would assume that since we have not heard anything about this truck in 5 years it is propably sold, sitting unfinished in a back yard, or finished along time ago. It could also be a combination of 2 out of 3

good luck

Re: Yeah it's ugly now.........
 

WOW... 5 years later. It's been drivable (NOT finished)for about 2 years, but it mostly just sits in the driveway. I went to a local car show in late Sept. and it really got me mad that my truck STILL wasn't ready. SO, I just gutted the cab, ordered up sound deadener and carpet. I'm picking up $600 in mostly interior parts from BROTHERS TRUCKS when I head out to Cali next week. After that it's just minor body work, paint and wheels. I'll try to find some more recent pics.

These things take too much time and money for most of us.I envision mine probably the same shape as it it right now,5 years from now too :(

Re: Yeah it's ugly now.........
 

Glad to hear that is still with us, that is the important part. I thought mine would only be down for its face lift about 6 months to a year. That was in November of 2002. Well it's at least going together, I think :rolleyes:

Be good to see some newer picts of yours too.

Re: Yeah it's ugly now.........
 

I second that notion! XD

Not too hard to understand. I don't think it's ugly at all. It looks good enough as it is to sit in the driveway, and as long as is runs, it's still a good ol' truck.

After years of driving old Chevys WAY worse than yours I finally poured a mess of $$$$$$$$ into mine and it's STILL not really finished. I guess that's why it's such a great hobby - it's never REALLY finished. It seems there's always something more to do.
