"Wally" The 68 Service Truck

It's a New Year so I thought I would start a new build thread. I bought this truck off a forum member last April. It's a 46k original mile truck that has only had one repaint and the best I can tell the service bed was installed in 68. My plans were to do a simple bag job and add a set of Detroit Steel Wheels but after a few months the motor and 4 speed started getting tired of running up and down the highway to the shop at 75-80 so now the motor needs to be replaced and this is where I'm at now. Enough talk.....let's see if I can get some pictures loaded!

I can only load one picture at a time for some reason. This may take some time.

Re: "Wally" The 68 Service Truck

I thought I would start on the back first so first I pulled the bed.

Re: "Wally" The 68 Service Truck

I blasted the frame to get off 46 years of crud and have a nice surface for some paint.

Re: "Wally" The 68 Service Truck

I don't have any pictures of the front while I was installing it but it's got Porterbuilt control arms with drop spindles and bags.

This is the panel I made for the paddle valves and gauges, it bolts to the floor in front of the seat.

Decided to go the LS based route on this truck so I picked up this 05 5.3 with a 4l60e tranny
