How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks - Page 33 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

AirborneC10, what advantage do you want with the 4 spd? If it's for better highway driving, it won't help. High gear is still 1:1 The only advantage is closer ratio shifting. If that's what you still want though, any Muncie, T10, or plain old Saginaw four speed should install fairly easy with little to no modification.

Here's some pics of mine with the new paint.

I know I put mine up before but today is a very special day for me.

After the second try I finally passed the German inspection.

I could have got it done the first time but I had a mobile inspector check it out and he thought it was too loud.
He didn´t have the right stuff with him so today I had to drive her to one of the stations where they check the noise.
It was quiet enough and he sent me on my way.
I think he just wanted to drive my truck.....and make 96 Euros for 10 minutes work.
I also got to personalize my plates, FÜ means the city where I got it registered (Fuerth). NW for the great Northwest where I found her. You all know what the 68 stands for and the H means Historic.

Thats a real pretty 68. Congrats

moneyeater · 04-05-2008, 06:39 PM

Your truck is areal beauty!

You make me sick on sooo many levels! I love Bavaria, I'v been there a number of times because I work for BMW. Yellow and white is my absoulute favorite color combo (mine is blue

). Last but not least, your truck is waaay nicer than mine!

BTW, how do you get that thing down those narrow a$$ streets?

Hey, thanks man!! The paint is PPG satin (black) the red is PPG california red, I'm pretty sure on the satin but I'll double check and let you know!

alright man, thanks. I have been deciding satin or flat, and I think you just wrote me off on satin. If you dont mind me asking, how much do you have in the paint? You can pm me so we dont fill up this thread... Thanks again

You mean, like this? If you do, be careful and put them in BEFORE adding a new bench seat if doing so, (like I did in my infinite wisdom) or you'll be smacking your head on them!

Sorry for making you jealous.

Thanks! I love Bavaria too but the rules suck!
Glad to hear that you like yellow and white, if I ever get it painted it´s going to be the same colors.
How do I get it down those streets? Grease up the sides of the truck, take the mirrors off, blow the horn 3 times, shut your eyes and hit the gas.
Just kidding, I haven´t been down a street yet where it wouldn´t fit.
I am planning on getting some pictures in front of the castle here in town but I have to get permission from the Town Hall first.
This is going to be my biggest problem but I think she will fit:

Here's a few pics of my projects:

blukangoo · 04-07-2008, 10:46 AM

After seeing Greg´s I thought I would post a couple of pictures I got last christmas of my cousins project. I told him if he ever gets tired of it he should let me know, I will finish it for him. He ain´t gonna sell it to no one.

very,very nice truck bud!

hollywood68 · 04-14-2008, 08:21 PM

This thread is awesome, great way to see all the different ways to build these great trucks!

Question for HoupPhotography, what is your suspension set-up? I notice you have front drums and have read you have bags. Any more information on how you got as low as you are? Could be wheels etc but just curious as it looks great.
