Refurbished Ol Green
Made it out of the shop on its own power today for the first time in over 3 years. Felt good. Have to make an appt. for exhaust, then alignment before I can really shake it down. Lot of nick nacks left.
 Here is what got the ball rolling. Don't over load rusty trailing arms..

Re: Refurbished Ol Green
Thanks lockdoc. To think it was originally getting the switch to be just a good wood hauler. Things got out of hand.

Re: Refurbished Ol Green
Wow beautiful truck, you did a 4wd conversion? Did you go with all leafs or did you still use the trailing arm rear suspension?

Re: Refurbished Ol Green
Few more pics. I guess I'll say it's done. But it's never done right? Was going for the Clean, Simple, Stock-ish look..
Have about 150 miles on it now.

Re: Refurbished Ol Green
There's a few non 68 items in the interior, can you identify them? I'll cross off the seat as it was color matched as close as we could get, but the design that I know of is not replicated.
