You will get there brother, just keep plugging away at it. I wish I was as far along as you are, the only way I'll be driving mine this summer is if I leave it in primer.

Thanks Tom, it is great to have it home and the wheels do look much better now

Bennett68C10 · 02-16-2014, 11:08 AM

This morning I decided to tape a piece of my original trim on the front fender to see how it looked. All I can say is I loved it and this truck is definitely getting trim now. I think it goes with the wheels really nicely too. Even my wife who was against the trim thought it looked good. What do you guys think.

jeh · 02-16-2014, 11:12 AM

I think the trim looks good on 67/68 trucks. I like!!
What color are you thinking on the truck?

trkfrk · 02-16-2014, 11:17 AM

Your truck is looking really good! For sure go with trim.

mooseknuckles · 02-16-2014, 11:31 AM

I'm anti-trim. I think it looks too cluttered on a modified truck. Stock it looks ok, bit otherwise, no thanks.

Yeah I was kind of the same way until I saw it on the truck, then I knew I had to have it.

Thanks, I need to purchase all new trim myself. I only have the front half of my original trim left and it needs more work than I'm willing to do. Would be nice for a patina truck.

Thanks Jason, I'm not sure on the paint. I can't seem to make up my mind on it. Every time I think I have come to a decision I change my mind again. Red is my favorite color but my 72 was red so part of me wants to do something different. My other choices are Hugger Orange, Light Blue and wait for it, Satin Black because I love the way the front end looks right now so I may keep the truck satin black for a while. I know everyone thinks it's played out but I like it and I think it would look awesome with the bright trim, chrome bumpers and Billets. I still have plenty of time to figure it out

Bennett68C10 · 02-16-2014, 08:30 PM

Today I polished my wheels up, no more tape residue. They look awesome

Bennett68C10 · 02-16-2014, 08:32 PM

I also started mocking up my Boyd's gas tank. I had to run out and get some c clamps and some hardware to mount it with. Should finish it up tomorrow. Had to move my rear crossmember back some to fit the tank. Need to redrill the holes in the bottom of the frame to mount it back up.
