Check out my build thread (Blank Slate) for the 4.5/6" drop we installed as well as the saga related to my wheels.

For me... change the rear bumper, drop it, new shoes, and drive it.

Can't wait to see what you turn out!
Thanks, yeh, I'm thinking of just getting the wheels and drop on it, get the motor in, and just cruise it this color for a little bit. Your truck looks good man!

P.S. - The tail light trim will need to be replaced with the correct style for '68... then it will look a lot better! And that bumper has got to go in the dumpster.
It has a 12 bolt in it. But it might have came with a Dana60 and when the previous owner was doing the 5 lug swap in the rear, just replaced it with the 12 bolt.
The trim is coming off the lights, and will never find their way back on!


Thanks for the comments guys.
