I struck Gold again!!!! 1968 Custom

I love it when I find an ad on CL that has no pictures and very little description. usually when you roll out there it turns out to be a complete pile. Not this time... 1968 1/2 long bed pick up from the original owner... this thing was parked for quite a few years. A little tune up , hoses belts and fluids. She came back to life. 78,00 original miles.... Oh Hell yeah!! I was stoked to get this baby home for a closer inspection. Little to no rust. With tons of Patina. First thing first, lower it down 5/7 add 4 wheel disc. drop the 3 on the tree for a th400 something classic like some satin black finished Torque thrust 20" on all for corners. Killer seat cover and tilt.... Boom thats all she wrote. 68 Super Kustom will be back on the road. Just a light wet sand and buff the heck out of it and I'll be good to go.....

Thanks Rene, you know this truck is so solid and straight. It had a camper on it from when it was new. That why it has such low miles and minimal wear...

Re: I struck Gold again!!!! 1968 Custom

Nice find, can't wait to see what you do to it

Re: I struck Gold again!!!! 1968 Custom

Awesome find, good plan!

Re: I struck Gold again!!!! 1968 Custom

Ortega Gold!! ...uh, I mean Saddle (heh heh). Another great score. It says a lot about these trucks seeing how many original owner ones are out there after 40+ years.I believe no other vehicle rivals the 67-72 record on that. There is a whole generation who bought these new and they were the last truck they ever needed. There never was and never will be a vehicle that got it so right from day 1.
