Hello,
Been here a while now, got lots of free advice from fellow board members, thank you all. We are locked here in the dead o winter here in NH lamenting for warmer days. I wanted to do some work on it this winter, but funds are too tight this year. Looking out the window and knowing the truck and bikes will not see sunshine for months yet is depressing...

I realized I had not taken any pictures of my my truck since I signed up here, and wanted to share it with you all. I was cleaning out my cell phone tonght and came upon one I took last summer. It was raining and we were hauling mulch, I pulled out the cell phone and took one shot.

Hopefully the nice green background will give those of you in the north a lift. Hang in there better days are coming!

love the look of a truck still workin'.

the fact that it's a '68 C20, west coast jr's, and stock hub caps..

that just makes it sooo much sweeter.

Thanks,

Even when I get it finished, it's gonna be a driver/worker. I am going to put a two-speed in it. I can catch 3 gears before I leave the yard!

It came right outa'a the barn with those hubcaps. I have not seen them very often. I have not been able to find them online for sale anywhere.

Anyone good at restoring them? There are no dents in them, just some surface rust and a bit of bubbling. They need to be bead blasted and re-painted.

I think that there is a possibility that it has the orginal tires! sort of a bold claim, but they are 17 inch bias ply 'Summer tread' and the spare matches, Paper is still stuck to the spare. anyone know what brand tire they would have installed at the factory in '68? I realy need to replace them, They are still legal, but it will get stuck on dew soaked grass if there is an ant under the front wheel!

Great looking truck - when you can, would enjoy seeing some better quality pics.

Yukon Jack
1, like your website,
2, like your truck, too many (IMHO) are lowered, nice to see someone raise 'em up!
3, Like your handle, Yukon Jack on 1 ice cube is my drink of choice.

Anywhoo, here you go, Lighting's not the best, but this time of year I takes whats I gets.
