Re: New guy. Got a 68 Chevy Fleet

First off welcome to the board from West Tennessee. Looks like you have an above average truck to start with. You might want to swing by the welcome area and tell us a little about you and your truck. Be sure that you read and understand the rules and follow them. We want your stay here to be a pleasant one. Good luck with your truck.

Re: New guy. Got a 68 Chevy Fleet

Very solid truck.. Great for a teenager. Got the 80's mud grip(red neck) look going on. You don't see as many trucks sitting like that anymore. I remember when I was a kid in the 80's it was mud/all terrains on the back of trucks from Oct to April then everyone put the 60's back on in the spring.
You can cruise that truck, work out of it and have a blast. Keep it if you really like it too.. You'll regret getting rid of it later.

Re: New guy. Got a 68 Chevy Fleet

Just how big are those back tires? 33's? I have an old 67 with 31's and they don't look as big as those.

Welcome!
Sweet Truck!
That is one clean survivor!
I'd make sure it wasn't just the first one--but one of the last.
