My new mistress! 68 GMC longbed

[Raider Rudy]

Just before the end of 2014 my liitle brother (C10 King) texted me a picture of a 68 GMC longbed that he was advertising for parts. It was love at first sight! I immediatley put my 64 Chev shortbed fleetside for sale & told him I wanted the 68 but needed to sell my 64 first. My plan was to have my son (Argonaut) cut the frame & convert it to a shortbed stepside. Well, 2 weeks later I sold my 64 & then mailed my brother a check. My brother lives 350 miles up north from me so I was planning on picking up the 68 at the end of January. By the first weekend of Jan I couldn't wait so I drove up & had the truck towed home. Since then I sold off the long bed & purchased a stepside bed from my uncle Mondo. I'm retired so I've been able to work on the truck every day. It needs alot of work, but thats part of the fun! It has the original V-8 327 4 bbl carb with a turbo 400 trans. I've got the motor purring like a kitten but it looks like nothing on the truck was ever replaced except maybe oil changes, brakes & carburetor. I'll send pics asap, the fun starts!
