Thought on this 68 SWB
I am thinking about making a 8 hour drive to go look at this truck. It was posted on this website as well as CL. From what I have seen so far it looks pretty good but I have some concerns. The speakers in the doors are annoying but I could live with it. Of more serious concern is the pic of the drivers cab corner and door. Looks like bondo work or at best a badly fitted patch to me but really hard for me to tell from the pic. Anyway on to the pics of the truck. Any input would be appreciated.
Link to add on this website with 4 pics. CL link with 3 pics

Re: Thought on this 68 SWB
Not sure how I managed to post this in the blazer forum, if a mod could move it that would be great.

Re: Thought on this 68 SWB
Looks like a pretty nice truck. What are you looking for... a driver or a show truck? That front bumper looks tweaked on the passenger side.

As far as the bumper it is definitely not adjusted correctly but not sure if its been hit. The hood is also further out on the drivers side than it should be I think. Those issues don't really bother me since I think they are things I can handle. Last edited by thepenguin99; 03-16-2010 at 12:27 AM. |

Re: Thought on this 68 SWB
I agree, I think it would be a fun pickup. I looks like it could just use some panel adjustments. Looks like some boss 20" wheels? Does he have spacers on front and back to make those work? Looks like the front is sitting a bit higher than the rear...?..maybe the photo? How has it been lowered? Cut springs?

Re: Thought on this 68 SWB
looks like it was originally a 6cyl, not bad looking overall... I bet you could talk him down with cash though... Looks like it's still drum brakes and 6 lug but has a booster on it...

Good luck with the truck neighbor.
