Hi Guys,
Today my Dad, and I took a drive north of town to a AC Delco specialist when we came acroosed to interesting trucks.

The first one came out of nowhere up beside us, sounded pretty sweet.

It was a lowered swb '69-72 shaved(smoothed) fleetside painted a lime green with no chrome.

Then when we pulled into the parking lot, there beside the building was a '68 C10 lwb fleetside with a '71-72 grille mounted where the 2 slots were on the '67-68 trucks. How it was done, it looked factory. It appears that they cut the midle bar out of the grill, and cut the '71-72 grille to fit the opening.

That's the best part of living in the South, I see these trucks everyday. Everything from all original to beaters on their last legs. I have started carrying my camera with me because there are quite a few worth getting pics of.
