WIW 1968 Short bed project?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Yeah, I am probably gunna sell my truck. I just don't have the funds or time to do it the way I want to. I know pics are helpful but at this time are unable to get any. The truck is apart, BUT I have 98% of the parts needed to put it back together. I have collected all the sheetmetal and all are a 8 out of 10 condition. Surface rust maybe. It is a fleet bed which is a 8 out of ten rating. The frame has been converted to 5 lug front disc brakes. The cab is in really good shape. The only downfall to it is somebody cut a sunroof in the roof, but I have another roof to replace it. Other than that it would be a good scuffing and shoot. Need more details ask.

Off the top of my head (in pieces hurts it, sorry) a grand at best? Maybe more $$$ in parting as good sheet metal is worth a gold mine? Good luck, if it was closer to AZ I'd be interested, my daughter turned 15 and is ready to get permit and learn how to be h3ll on wheels!! I mean learn to drive!! My brother built me my first vehicle (67 short step) and I want to pass on the legacy with mine. Good Luck!!

If you decide to part it out I would be interested in the cab and doors. Im about 1 1/2 hours from you. thanks winston.

Well the doors are in excellent condition. I have had the whole cab and doors indoors ever since I've had it.
But It was in really good condition when I got it.

I am going back and forth, weather to sell or just keep on the back burner until I can get some time and money.
