68swb build up AKA (Baglady)
5 Attachment(s)
I have finally decided to start a thread for my project. Its a 1968 swb original v8 three speed truck. I wanted to do a fast build and just get it running and drive it. But after getting in to it that went out the door. Know a year later its bagged and lays frame and there is still a lot to do. I have decided that I am going for the rat rod look with the primer, eventually the white wall tires on the 15in wheels and a pic of a pinup on the doors.

Looks like a good start!!!! How tall is your rear tires? Also is your frame touching the rear end? I am curious how much bed i will have left when i am done with my truck. Anyways good job and keep up the work!!

Here's what i got done this weekend. Finally got the motor done. Bolted the motor and trans together and set it in and started cutting the firewall for the trans tunnel. Found out that I can't run an HEI distributor that sux, it won't clear the firewall. Not sure if i want to cut the top of the firewall yet to make it fit. What are you other bagged guys running for a distributor.

You can use a small cap hei or a unilite small caps can come with all kinds of goodies underneath. You could even convert a points ignition to a magnetic breakerless for about $75. Good luck and she looks sweet. I'dve left it the way she was, but this is cool as well!

I got to work on the truck this weekend got alot done. Finished cutting the floor out. Painted and hung the doors, put the bed back on and started cutting the fender out to make it fit. Still have to adjust the bed it looks like it is sitting a little high in the rear and i got to find a 67 passenger side fender.
