1968 Progress Pictures
 

Here's the progress pictures of my truck. So far so good. We are hoping it will be "almost" completely done by June. They are never done.

Looking good! What color is that...from the pics it looks like a nice deep red?

Is that an "aftermarket" front clip? If so, who was the supplier/manufacturer and are you happy with the "fit". Thanks. Cab looks great. Is that candy apple red?

Re: 1968 Progress Pictures
 

Good eye on the paint color. It is Candy Apple Red. I have had this truck since I was 7 years old and now I will be 27 next month and I have always wanted this color. The new front fenders are made by Dynacorn, the new radiator support, and the bottom driver side door sheet metal are sold by MotherTruckers. I bought the goodmark cowl induction hood a few years ago from a local vendor. I am very please with the front fenders but the cowl hood is gonna need some work to fit properly. Ed, at MotherTruckers, is a good guy to do business with. Many of the floor sheet metal and other misc. parts I purchased from GMC Paul's. He's another good guy to do business with. My front grill is going to be repaired. So everything is coming together. I hope to get the body back in the next month and the 396, which was bored out .060 making it a 408, will be installed along with a Mad Dog 700r4 Transmission from Mad Dog Transmissions will also be installed. I'll keep all of you updated since I have been coming to this board for information and parts for almost 5 years. Thanks to all of you for the great information and support!!

Let us know how the MAD DOG tranny works for you, I have been mulling over buying a tranny from him and his prices are good too. Randy

Re: 1968 Progress Pictures
 

Definitely looking great - should be awesome when done!

Re: 1968 Progress Pictures
 

:metal: Love the color, keep up the good work!

Re: 1968 Progress Pictures
 

I love that color!!! Please keep us updated on everything, including the tranny, I've been thinking about picking up a 700R4 from him too.

Re: 1968 Progress Pictures
 

Very nice color. Reminds me of a truck....:lol: Keep us updated. Jeff.

Lookin good!! I'll second the fact that Ed @ Mothertruckers is a great guy to deal with. He was really helpful on the phone and I got my rear bumper, brackets and license frame from him shipped in one day. I'll be seriously considering having him paint my truck when I get ready to have that done.
