Nice truck!

That's quite the yard you have. Do GMCs and Chevys grow there?

67chevy1series · 06-28-2011, 09:02 PM

Longhorn Man · 06-28-2011, 10:13 PM

I am amazed that after all these years, no one else came up with that screen name!
Welcome to the board, and your truck looks awesome! Not much I would even mess with there, short steps look awesome as a beater, or as a finished ride with jem like paint. Your stance and wheels are dead on.

Longhorn Man · 06-30-2011, 05:00 PM

the tail lights is one of the things I didn't care for, but the rest of the truck makes up for the one little sin.

definitely agree, probably and easy fix though, I like the factory setup these had or the rear stake pocket tail light conversions, sweet truck though, a great start for sure

factorystock · 07-03-2011, 08:31 PM

I'd raise it, put narrow original rims and correct '68 truck hubcaps on it, then paint original color!

67chevy1series · 07-03-2011, 09:48 PM

^^ i like your idea... but hes not moving the altitude any where near up

he might put original hubcaps on it though

fordsucks · 07-07-2011, 12:01 AM
