Re: my 68

It looks that way to me, I do have a true 50th, it was the same colors, my dad sold it to my cousin while I was in Korea, I was in the military, it took 14 years to track it down. I will start a thread once I have my mom's car finished.

Re: my 68

Would you want to get rid of that air cleaner, separate from the engine? Good luck on the build.

Re: my 68

Nice truck. That looks like the saddle color not 50th color combo.

You might not want to use those front tires shown in the first tear-down pictures. I don't think they'd be very safe.

so you like my unsafe tires..i picked up the truck on a trailer,when i tryed to unload the truck i had to pump over 80 lbs of air in the front tires so they wouldnt hit the side rails of the trailer.the next day it was 100 degrees outside . i was at work.my next door neighbor called me and said something blew up at my house...i called home and my son said the f-----n tire blew up.he was in the garage.it scared the **** out of him....you think i should of took out the air ?
