68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
Ok before I get to the meat of this build I would like to say that the project name is actually a big sign of my gratitude to Nate-not a knock! I researched for months and finally decided to purchase his full dropmember kit for my 68. I kid him that I look at lots of vendors still but I always am amazed at what he comes up with next for these trucks---therefore I am "chained" (lol) to his site for what is coming next!!!
Having said that, I am still using other vendors ( some on here) for parts and services in the months to come!! I have been a member here for years but had other projects going but now I am back to the trucks I love and have done in years gone by. This is not going to be as radical as previous trucks but more in line with Superfly's build with a few twists..I appreciate all input as we go down the road--Here's a few pics of where we are at right now with cab bottom blasted-then in epoxy -stock swb frame ready to add nate's parts-still in air about drivetrain but working it out!!! jim Last edited by jtp67-72; 07-21-2011 at 11:03 PM. |

Eye candy came today...only 2 left in GM system.....6 speed console insert...power window...door lock....and spares!! Look at shifter pic and picture it in chrome (silver now) in that 6 speed boot.....Think it will look better than in the actual automatic insert..get chrome shifter pieces tomorrow...will put together wkend and see then.....anybody need a cool 6 speed knob in chrome???.......jim

Very nice project you have going here! That's a sweet rotisserie, and also very nice projects you built and sold. Your cab looks great too!

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
Look at that rotisserie close --2 -1k pound "harbor freight" motor stands-extended 20" up and straightened-some almost scrap metal --$250 maybe-and it spins with 1 hand--Trick is look at last pic and notice stands are centered side 2 side of cab but lower from top to bottom-in other words I found the centerline of the actual weight of the cab -unreal how it spins-I wasn't trying to be cheap but it really works for the money!! jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
Looks like a GREAT cab. Going to be a sweet truck with that cab and PB parts (also judging by your past projects)
