Pics of my '68 Daily Driver ol skool.. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Jefe · 03-24-2005, 12:51 AM

Here is my updated '68 daily driver. I had gotten in a wreck with it in November and just got it back on the road this month. Additions include cowl hood/front power disc conversion/ 4 inch rear drop/ new carpet/ new interior painted/ new carb/new manifold/ new radiator/ new balljoints bushings and tie rods/new coat of primer/new flame-throwers/new exhaust/ and old scallops for the heck of it. Let me know what you think!

hotrodtroy · 03-24-2005, 12:57 AM

69 Short Fleet · 03-24-2005, 01:03 AM

5150 · 03-24-2005, 01:16 AM

Nice truck

I'd also like to know how you got that much in your sig. It always tells me I can't have more than 255 characters.

Jefe · 03-24-2005, 01:31 AM

lloyd k · 03-24-2005, 02:06 AM

67chops · 03-24-2005, 02:31 AM

that thing is sweet. id like to eventually do that type of look with my truck down the road.

MandarinSixSeven · 03-24-2005, 02:33 AM

Oh, that is soo cool! I hope my paint goes bad soon so I can do mine in all primer like that. I like it alot

ACES · 03-24-2005, 03:12 AM

I like the paint job too. Do you have any closeups of the pinstriping above the gas cap?

shifty · 03-24-2005, 03:22 AM

Felting is nice. The truck is wicked, but I would like to see the white stripes go away in favor of more white and red pinstriping work like over the gas cap.

**Palf70Step** · 03-24-2005, 06:31 AM

You did a very nice job on your truck. Looks really great.

PM Josh or MHC about the probs with you signature and account settings they should be able to square it away.

Bowtiefreak · 03-24-2005, 08:23 AM

That looks friggn great. IMO, put some red steelies,wide whites and your golden. Of course that my opinion. I dig old school.

Scooter67 · 03-24-2005, 08:27 AM

I like the chickie on the glovebox door.

I'm thinking reverse chrome steelies with baby moon's.

Maybe I'm just getting old but I am digging the old school look, sweet ride

Gary Lee · 03-24-2005, 09:54 AM

Now that is sweet!!! Ol Skool Kool!!! I also think some steelies with baby moon's either painted or chrome would be period perfect for your ride .... I think the scallops are Great!!! Just the right balance on the truck... Very Tastefully Done!!!
The MoonEyes, Skull on the dash and Eyeball shift Knob are the Kat's @zz!!!

Lemield · 03-24-2005, 09:59 AM

I love primer, any truck is more fun in primer.

shifty · 03-24-2005, 04:47 PM

Is that really primer or is it "felted"? It looks like that new fangled flat paint.
