14 yr old Nephew got his truck home today - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

RACINJASON22 · 02-12-2007, 01:46 AM

Well he got it home and he's wanting to go crazy on it. I think it great that he's 14 and is really into these old trucks. If any one has a link to some good 6cyl sites I would appriciate it as I'm sure he would to. I'm into the small block stuff never really did anything with the 6's. Heres some pic's of it 750$ truck from cental Pa. He's got Two years to make look good. pic make it look worse than what it is.

RACINJASON22 · 02-12-2007, 02:02 AM

Yes it is a 68 and he hopes to get it done by its time to get his drivers lic. well see, money will probably be the biggest issue because it is a pretty good score IMO. Better shape than my 72 anyway.

franky69c10 · 02-12-2007, 02:20 AM

nice good luck on your PROJECT

lowrollin70gmc · 02-12-2007, 02:23 AM

Tell him to move to South Dakota and he could be driving it already! (14 for driver's license).

Good truck to start with. I want to see some 6 gun action as well.

sixtysevengmc · 02-12-2007, 08:41 AM

www.inliners.org is the best inliner site I've found so far

RACINJASON22 · 02-12-2007, 09:27 AM

Thanks for the link sixtysevengmc 14 wow there's rumor they are trying to raise the age to 18 here.

Imacarguytoo · 02-12-2007, 10:32 AM

Cool to see a young man into old vehicles. Teach that boy well he will go far. Looks like a good start for him. Does it run and drive?

RACINJASON22 · 02-12-2007, 10:40 AM

A little tune up and a run over on the brakes and safty stuff it did sit for a little while I would say you could drive it any where, I 'm glad he found a complete truck. Some times it gets frustrating chasing down parts that you didn't expect you would need for The young ones.

bgangsta999 · 02-12-2007, 11:43 AM

14!!! Thats awesome... My best friend and I were into these trucks when we had power wheels jeeps and turned the jeeps into replicas of these trucks! Sweet!

[ol'Blue] · 02-12-2007, 02:01 PM

awesome!
my dad got mine when i was 4, i never knew at that time it would be mine...

RACINJASON22 · 02-12-2007, 07:10 PM

Thanks BROTHERSTRUCKS for the link to http://www.cliffordperformance.net/I didn't get a chance to look much, but it looks like a cool site

JAKES 68GMC · 02-12-2007, 08:17 PM

Is he going to keep the six? A souped up six in a 68 SWB fleet, now thats cool. Looks like a nice start for a project.

69-350 · 02-12-2007, 08:45 PM

16 is when you can get your license up here, 14 on the farm. I've loved these trucks since my brother had a 69 C-10, back when I was probably around 7 or 8 years old. I remember I loved that thing, and I've lovem 67-72's ever since. I jumped hardcore on the chance to get my 69 C-10 when I was about 16.

Congrats on the find (truck, and being lucky enough to get a nephew into these old timers) and good luck with the resto, and the motor

sroysr · 02-12-2007, 08:52 PM

looks good to me

Bamm · 03-20-2007, 06:13 PM

You can get a drivers license at 14 in SD????????

bowtieboy93 · 03-20-2007, 06:53 PM

Good Shape! I bought mine just couple of months ago at 13 from washington hope to get it done when im 16 as well!!

Scott Webster · 03-20-2007, 08:06 PM

I still remember my dad and I driving my '72 home from the junk yard when I was 15. They bought it for the bed and I spoke up and said I'd gladly pay the $695 still painted on the window. The engine never gave me problems - just the shifting linkage on the 3 spd column. I hit a deer with it when I was 19 and sold it awhile later to fix up another classic. Who needs video games... You've got a good nephew there!

CPNEJR · 03-20-2007, 08:30 PM

I remember getting my truck when i was around 10. It was the best thing in the world. Now i'm in the middle of a rebuild and am hoping to finish it up by early summer and have it street legal by mid to late spring. i will have my license in early may.

haokah · 03-20-2007, 09:12 PM

Cool score, I've always heard the old sixes will run forever.

RACINJASON22 · 03-20-2007, 09:56 PM

New thread started on this build but, I will gladly check both. progress pic's (14 tear old nephew's 68')
