'68 GMC build up
I'm a fresh driver, just getting my license about a month ago, but me and my dad have been building a truck for a couple years now. The truck was hoped to be done by my sixteenth, but I'm sure you all know about "deadlines"... The title says '68 chevy, but all that belongs to the title is the frame. The cab is a 69 CST, the front clip is from a 68 GMC, and the bed is a 96 fiberglass stepside. The grill is what defines these trucks, so that is why I titled this as such The truck is in the bodywork stage right now and we hope to lay some paint in a couple weeks. The suspension is stock, but when a little money rolls my way, i'd like to lower it with a bag system, as well as drop spindles and disk brakes up front. These photos are kind of old but hapy viewing anyways...

Re: '68 GMC build up
looks like you trucks coming along great man, what're your plans for the engine and drivetrain in whole? I really like that color too, what is it?

Re: '68 GMC build up
Looking good.
If you don't mind me asking...is that Pulaski, as in, Wisconsin? Just curious, living in Rhinelander and all. Keep at it man, it's worth it. -Sam.

Re: '68 GMC build up
ooo. ok. I apologize, because there's a Pulaski, Wis., and of course, I had no thoughts of there being another Pulaski - or used to be.

Re: '68 GMC build up
Painted the driver's side this weekend.
The Hood, top, and passenger's side will have to be sealed and painted because of more body work. Sory, photos are not quite up to par because i took them with my cell phone but they are the latest I have... |
