I finally got one!!!!!
Bought a 1 owner 68 swb chevy. Minus motor and trans has all chrome and 2 new fenders. Very very little rust, most will go away with the new fenders. I have a 400hp 383 with a th400 ready to go in. I have a 82 GMC to do the disc brake conversion but I need to do a lil more research first. I'll have some pics later this week

Re: I finally got one!!!!!
You can swap the axles from a 70-72 truck. I think the 73-87's have different lengths on the axles. There are several companies offering swap kits, or you can search local, I was lucky enough to find someone selling the axles from a 72 and they fit perfect. I believe speedway motors sells replacement axles as well. Just count your splines on the axle and check the length.
Here is a swap kit that has a fair price IMHO: http://www.performanceonline.com/197...XLE-KIT-5-LUG/ ohh and nice truck btw, I'm building a 68 as well! ![]() |

Re: I finally got one!!!!!
Nice looking truck, you know there is a member on here that has a TON of stuff that is on the yonder side of Paragould. He gave me a tour of his place and it would blow a normals mind. If you are indeed missing that trim on the bed I bet he has it. American Pickup. I have no tie in with him except we are both member and nice guys. In danger of any rule I don't know about I won't post a phone number but will give it if you PM me. Jim
