So here in P town we woke up to a nice white layer, very rare for our town. I couldn't resist taking the '68 out for a couple donuts. It actually drove surprisingly well for what it is.

That is a really nice longbed u got there! Did u installed the decals yourself?

LuckyHenriksen · 12-15-2008, 02:14 AM

Thanks! Yes I did the decals myself

*Puropedo* · 12-15-2008, 02:29 AM

Great job! Im gonna check out your build thread

kyull67 · 12-15-2008, 01:21 PM

Looks like fun!
What kind of head lights do you have and where did you get them?
Thanks.

What do the decals represent? They really look great, as does the rest of your truck. I really wanted a maroon truck, but mine is dark blue, way too much work to do a complete color change.

A little history on the Yenko

LuckyHenriksen · 12-15-2008, 02:34 PM

Thanks guys, I don't know anything about the lights, when I bought the truck they were installed. They work well though, nice and bright. Thanks OLDIRON, that explains the Yenko history way better than I could.

'68 C-20 · 12-15-2008, 02:48 PM

Great History link on the Yenko, I was not aware of them. Glad to be educated.

Don't you love the way the snow brings out the blue in your headlights?

67ChevyRedneck · 12-15-2008, 03:03 PM

Cool pics

My 67 saw snow a couple times back in NY when it hit earlier than expected (before I had swapped plates to my winter beater). I would never say it drove well

Dang rear end broke loose every time I touched the gas and stopping was always... interesting.

thirdstreettito · 12-15-2008, 03:36 PM

Love your longbed!

LuckyHenriksen · 12-15-2008, 03:41 PM

Thanks guys, yes I like the way the blue lights look in the snow! I never actually drove it on public roads, I just drove around my long, long driveway.

72BlckButy · 12-15-2008, 03:49 PM

Man oh man... I love shots, but where's the video????

Just kidding, looks like you guys had a great time. Keep safe out there on the roadways!
