68 3/4ton short box
not sure if this is rare or not. you be the judge. thanks all. I have not done much to this truck. just some some upkeep and oil change. gave 2,700.00 for it three weeks ago. only 15k on the motor. runs perfect!!! disc breaks..etc will post more detailed pics of the engine and underside today some time. its been a fun project to start.

Re: 68 3/4ton short box
Good looking project truck. The axles are not factory to your truck. They never made a 3/4 swb truck. Someone swapped in the later model 8 lug axles, probably for the disc brakes. I see someone already installed a late model seat as well.
Good luck and have fun with it. Welcome aboard as well.

Re: 68 3/4ton short box
That thing is nice.Makes me want to change my mind about selling my shortbed.If you pull a differential cover there are numbers on the ring gear.
