Addition to the family (1968)
Picked up a 1968 Chevy Stepside- 250 straight 6 -3 on the tree. Patina paint and very little rust. Bought it from a man that had it 41 years, he picked it up used in 1969 with very few miles. I think that I will probably Logo the door and maybe add a few horsepower pieces to the old six ,(headers, intake and bigger carb, possibly cam swap). In addition I also picked up a 1969 Chevy Stepside later in the week but I don't have any pics of it yet. I will post it soon.....

Re: Addition to the family (1968)
Congrats...I always wanted a '68 but got stuck with a '70
 Maybe someday I can get what I want and have it all!!!  (Not that a seventy is bad...just always wanted the same year as my birth year for some crazy reason...perhaps to always have something the same age as me still running!

Re: Addition to the family (1968)
Nice score! That is a great platform to start with! I'd just work on it a little and drive it and enjoy it too.

Re: Addition to the family (1968)
I would do a 4/6 drop and drive the piss out of it....beat it like a redhead stepchild then if it blows do a complete LS swap in it and leave the rest alone..
