My 68 4x4 got some new shoes today!!

I got this truck two months ago and I got to see it first hand in person only yesterday. I cant wait to get my hands dirty! I put new wheels and tires on and after installing the eagle 058 15x10 on the front I realized that the wheel studs are to short. I tried to source new longer 7/16" studs but could not find anything after going to 3 part stores. So i will be going to a 1/2" wheel stud and drilling out my new break drums to fit the 1/2" wheel studs. I did a complete brake job front and rear(minus the brake drums, they don’t have those on the shelf any more have to order them lol) with new wheel cylinder and brake line on the left rear. I also got a new edelbrock carb 600cfm which the guy at the part store forgot to mention that I need the fuel kit, steel line to rubber, so now i have to get that before I see what my new carb will do. Ordered my 3" body lift kit with complete body mounting hardware from lmc today. I have a cab with new rockers, corners, and cab mounts to go on and fenders that have had some body work done to them so when I am done it will be a very solid truck. The box is in very good shape, no dings in the bed!

tell me what you think so far
