The Blue Goose

[oldblue1968chevy]

Well, Ive decided to make a build thread, About a month ago, I got my drivers licence (16), wanted a lil toyota pickup truck for along time, dad talked me into the truck I have now..a few houses down, an elderly gentleman had my truck in his yard for sale $2500 OBO..went and looked at it..didnt like it, came home looked at fixed up models...and since then,fell in love. Few days later, went up and offered him and his wife 1500 cash...and after a lil chit chad, they accepted, went home started cleaning it up a bit..discoverd a lil rust..and the paint cleaned up good with some polishing wax....a few dings and stuff...but watcha expect I only gave 1500 for it! Get made fun of quite often for driving the 'blue goose' or as i like to call it, the 'rice rocket' lol. But heres some pics..havent really done anything..to make it look better yet..
1968 Baby blue LWB bout 80,000 orig. miles (well a lil less) [IMG][/IMG]2wd 3 on the tree ________ motor. Different motor than original, a lil bit newer, (so ive heard) rebuilt motor. Was at sonic the other day..and a older lady next to me rolled down her window and hollered, 'what kinda truck is that?' 'a 1968 chevy' i replied, 'do you like it' 'oh yeah, its a very pretty truck, for somereason i thought it was older though' 'THANKS' alotta people dont care for it much...
but so far all ive done is clean it up best as posible, pull the trim off, bunch of new stuff under the hood...pull the junk speakers out from under the seat....and the 6cd changer...pulled the head unit and for now have the wiring ran into the glove box.....lookin to get new bumpers mirrors fix all the incab rust and patch the trim holes up and get a decent radio (dash was cut by man b4 me) and some kick pannels or cut the doors for speakers...thanks yall! john
