Smile New member of the family

For three years I've been without a pickup after moving my family to the Kansas City metro area. We sold my 68 due to lack of space at that time. Fast forward to early May of this year while walking through a salvage yard I stumbled upon a 68 3/4 2wd pickup. I asked the owner about it and he said it had only been sitting for a year and still runs and drives. Based on what I could find through research, it has 6 cyl. 250 engine, SM465 4 speed, and an Eaton HO52 rear axle. I believe the color is Saddle Fawn for that particular year, correct me if I'm wrong. It's now tagged, titled, and ready to be fixed up. It's going to take some work, but what truck doesn't coming from a yard? Here are some pictures!

Oh, that is good. Lots going for it: seems intact, manual shift in floor, 250 engine, no frills to worry about, 3/4 ton, bench seat, and it's the prettier slant nose.
