finally have an actual truck!

i am new to the board and have only made a few posts. they were mostly about a frame and rear end for a 68 that i recently bought. i have been looking for a cab and bed for it. my neighbor heard about this and told me that he had a complete 68 w/o engine, trans, or interior. i asked him what he was lookin to get out of it and he told me 800. i figured that it was gonna be in sad shape as he said it was sittin in the woods. it turns out he was the original owner and just had it brought up from his home state of arkansas. this thing is perfect. he already blasted and sprayed it with a coat of primer. it has a few spots of surface rust from sittin out but other than that, it looks as though it is right off of the assembly line. it just amazes me that i was searching everywhere for one and this one was sittin 100 yards away from my garage the whole time. i will get some pics up soon. also if anyone could help me find the thread that the guy showed how to section the hood i would appreciate it!
