Finally got another short fleet 68
It's almost like my last one, just rustier LOL, 6cyl 3 on tree, supposedly rebuilt and has new gas tank. Bed has bad rust every where, except outside quarters hood is wrong one. Seller said everyone wanted to buy the dog dish hub caps, go figure, maybe I'll trade them for sheet metal.

Re: Finally got another short fleet 68
I just came in from shovelling snow. Sure glad I don't live in Florida. Too rusty there. Have a good one.

Re: Finally got another short fleet 68
^ That's an old wives tale , Unless your running up and down the sand on the beach there's not a bad problem with rust like in the "rust belt" rust doesn't attack like the northern areas because the BLAZING HOT SUN burns it all off . I'll bet that trucks from Flint ? Probably some snowbird drove it down when they moved

Re: Finally got another short fleet 68
I like the bed rails on that well optioned ride! But why are they so short?

Re: Finally got another short fleet 68
Found a better bed, but the quarters are beat up. Also got a correct hood.
