I couldn't walk away! A jet black 68' longbed!!!
Not my norm, but I thought this truck was very special and very hard to come by nowadays!
 ........ A clean black 68' longbed fleetside "Custom", with a V8, 3 on the tree with overdrive, AC cab, tinted "Soft-Ray" glass, and more........I just couldn't walk away. More pic's will be following!

It will be a cool truck after you work your magic. So I couldn't tell if it had bucket buddy seats

I like the sb's more but there is something about a well done lb that I really like. Can't wait to see how this one turns out.

While they may not admit it, most people wish they had a long one.

Great lookin truck! I like short beds too but in my opinion there's something honorable about restoring the truck to its truest or most original fashion.

Re: I couldn't walk away! A jet black 68' longbed!!!
Thanks so much guys!!!!!! As you may or may not know, I normally do not buy longie's very often and what's funny about this whole thing is the former owner had been telling me about this truck for about 2 years!
 but as soon as the "L word" was mentioned, I would tell him that I wasn't interested, not till his daughter put it on "Craig's list" 2 days ago and I saw the photo's, then I couldn't call him fast enough! and I said to him......"You didn't tell me it was this nice!!!!!" Quote:

 A few more pick's.......

Nice original. Black plates, Factory black paint, Factory A/C, Overdrive, Soft Ray! It doesn't get much better than that. Sweet ride. Looks great.
