One is a GMC 68 model 3/4 ton with factory air speed warning, buddy buckets and power steering and brakes. I have added tilt and a tac vac dash. I also knew the first min that for that truck to bring any real good money it would have to be a short bed . So I bought a 68 parts truck with a good frame and bed and then a 72 for the 5 lug suspension. I think the short will bring 2 to 5 k more maybe more. Jim

Thanks Jim........so its not worth buying a long bed to convert because it might cost that much to make the conversion.
Have you ever figured what you would charge? I saw the You Tube Video on cutting the frame correctly.........the Z cut Stacy did from his show...then he bought parts from LMC
