It's Alive!
As some of you may remember back in January of this year my 68 gmc was rearended while parked in front of my house. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=185669
Well after many months and a few $$ it lives and drives once again! I just completed the front disc brakes and got it aligned last week. Here are a few updated pics... Enjoy  And thanks to everyone here for the inspiration and great tips!!

Re: It's Alive!
great Job, I love the stance. What drop combo did you use? Btw, I got the door on mine now and am awaiting time and money to start the body work to start making it look good. I might be interested in your passenger side door to.
