Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Thanks guys, I never thought I would love the trim this much but I do. Even my wife who was against adding the trim loves it now after seeing it. Hopefully I will have the driver side done this weekend, then I can pull the truck back apart to finish the bodywork.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
I thought about it but I really love the laid out pic in the driveway. Maybe after I get the driver side trim on, I'll have to push it back out in the driveway for some new pics
![]() Thanks, I'm happy I did.

Trim changes the whole truck. It really makes these trucks and I believe the trim appeals to the masses

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
I think with those wheels and that trim I would be highly motivated. I like the look.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Normally, I'm not a fan of trim, but it looks really good on your truck.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
I took the truck off the market just trying to sell the 6.0 swap now. If I can do that I think I can hang on to the rest of the truck.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Keith, the trim looks sick. Maybe one day when I stop buying all the other little things necessary to get this thing going I will get trim. Oh yea and some billets also, LOL.

![]() Thanks Paul, the trim is from Mar-K. I bought it off a forum member that purchased it but didn't use it so I saved a little money.

Thanks Thanks, I used the 5 screws in the wheel well to get it into the right place and then gently wrested the ends up and into the right position with the body line. I found that if you do it the opposite way, you will have a hard time getting the trim to fit the radius of the wheel well. Hope that made sense and helps out.
