Re: my 68 shortbed build
Cant wait to see the rear down
![]() Just FYI, lowering the rear wont affect the tire clearance on the front, as the wheels are the pivot point ![]() Whats the plan for the VW pan in the pic of the parts getting painted ??? Last edited by Spray-Bomb; 12-03-2008 at 03:07 AM. |

Re: my 68 shortbed build
haha thanks, being 18, living at home and working full time helps alot!
spray-bomb, the vw pan belongs to a friend of mine, he was replacing the floor pans and bagging it, and doing really custom body off with it, he is also a really good painter and air brusher so it will have a crazy good paint job.

Re: my 68 shortbed build
Did you keep the 327 emblem? Looks righteous!
Love the build, love the truck...be sure to post up some more pics when you change the rear height.

That's pretty funny seeing a Les Schwab truck in the background. I worked for those S.O.B.'s for 9 years!!
