My 50th Birthday present-AFTER PICS!
We'll, I've been a busy boy working on my Birthday present from my wife and kids. Swapped out the camper mirrors, new chrome bumpers, new wheels and tires, 4/2 lowering springs with shocks relocated, and she had the shop truck paint added. Thanks to this website and all of you for helping me. I spent lots of evenings reading up!!!

Re: My 50th Birthday present-AFTER PICS!
Thanks! Sorry about not spinning the interior pic. I put some vintage hot rod magnet stickers on the inside for a different look. My wife is 4 years younger than me so I better start saving up for her 50th. 😄

Re: My 50th Birthday present-AFTER PICS!
There isn't anything I DON'T like about that truck, except that it's not mine.

I love the Gold color of that period. Add to it its a '68 3/4, and that truck is perfect. How about pics of the SPID and engine bay?

Re: My 50th Birthday present-AFTER PICS!
Looks fantastic! This is how I envision my truck looking some day (well cared for, but rustic old work truck). Love those nostalgic stickers in the cab too!

Re: My 50th Birthday present-AFTER PICS!
1969chev, Thanks and yes, you are correct. I ordered a set of newer style lug nuts off of eBay. They were specifically for our trucks. Also found a set of 4 Dually style center caps on there.
Thanks everyone for the kind words!!! I'm loving it!!! |
