Congratulations and welcome to the 67-72 chevy truck site. Be sure to frequent the FAQ sections. KRUE has a great index of how-to's. Good luck on the project and keep posting those pics of the progress.

1970bowtie · 07-21-2007, 10:36 PM

oh..just remembered something i saw on craigslist it was a short fleet for 250 bucks. it could use some floor repair,and needs a front bed panel.its in rowlett(or how ever you spell that) i could find you the phone number if your interested
i got mine for 400 bucks, and it needs a front panel

Welcome from FT Worth. Nice truck you have there.

**Stocker** · 07-22-2007, 12:24 AM

Welcome from NorCal... That's a very nice looking stepside! How badly did the PO hack up the bed? Can it be patched, maybe some new sheet metal? Looks great in the pics! Congrats!

68GMC454 · 07-22-2007, 12:50 AM

welcome frm utah...
nice truck...why they used to think it was cool to mount the speakers in the bed, and cut holes into the cab i never understood that...

krue · 07-22-2007, 01:03 AM

Welcome to the board from South Mississippi! You need to subscribe to post a WTB and then only on the parts board (that's the only place buying/selling is allowed). Keep it a stepside, they look better anyways.

GREASEMONKEY72 · 07-22-2007, 02:35 AM

WELCOME to the board

thats a pretty nice looking truck there, would love to see some more pics of it, like the interior and enginebay
