Finally getting my 68 1ton done - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Joesjunk** · 09-04-2002, 02:42 AM

I have not had time to get this thing done. I got the truck out last weekend and finished the bed. Just some more welding and it will be ready for paint. Not real good but here are a few pics as we were working on it. Here we just got the aluminum floor and did a test fit.

**Joesjunk** · 09-04-2002, 02:43 AM

Here is one more. I will have some more this weekend.

That thing is awsp,e. Just one thing though...did you install the cargo lamp on the older cab, or is that a '69 and up cab?
Also, is the 68 ford Ranger up there a project, or is it just a junker tossed in the side yard? As far as fords go, the 67 - 72 are pretty nice if you ignore he front suspension.

BLAZERMAN · 09-04-2002, 07:53 AM

Looking good joe, cant weight to see it done.

**ThreeQuarter** · 09-04-2002, 09:48 AM

Beeyooteefull! What are you going to use it for when you're done?

**Joesjunk** · 09-04-2002, 11:32 AM

Longhornmail, I added the cargo light to the 68 cab. The 68 Ford in the background is my friend's truck(these pics are at his place) , it is a very nice original.
Gmcblu, I am not going to do anything with it but go on sunny sunday drives or small car show's.

barn9 · 09-04-2002, 01:02 PM

Looks good! If I had a flatbed like that, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to resist the urge to just haul something though! Nice lookin' truck, congrats!

MandarinSixSeven · 09-04-2002, 04:09 PM

yeah if i had that i would try to put my stepside on it and cruise around...for those days when you just cant decide what to drive heh

JoetheMobster · 09-04-2002, 05:00 PM

That's a pretty cool looking flatdeck man! Added the pictures to my archive, hahaha!

devinfife · 09-04-2002, 06:00 PM

i like it. wanna give it to me?

Als454 · 09-04-2002, 08:15 PM

Where did you get your mud flaps at?

wnc mountain · 09-04-2002, 10:14 PM

Great looking truck! Are those factory buckets, they make a nice touch.

Slammed67 · 09-04-2002, 10:19 PM

I've seen that thing in person and it is very very very nice! Can't wait to see it all finished.

**Joesjunk** · 09-04-2002, 11:04 PM

I got the mud flaps on ebay, not sure how old they are (they were NOS? )but the kinda fit the era of the truck. And yes it has a factory bucket seat.

I am trying to have it done for the all truck show here in Kansas city, Mo on Sept 21-22.

Slammed67 · 09-04-2002, 11:07 PM

Hey Joe, where is the all truck show gonna be??? Haven't heard anything about it.

Jay

**Joesjunk** · 09-04-2002, 11:13 PM

Nice truck Joe, I'm working on a '68 C-30 flatbed myself, But you are ahead of me. I've got a set of NOS trucks flaps, but they are GMC's. Won't go on my Chevy.
