Re: 68 project
I like the bumper. Trim the ends and fix it up a bit. I am not a step bumper person but a little work on the bumper should be nice.

Re: 68 project
I might be getting old, but I guess I'm not "wearing out" too fast, people give me odd looks when I tell them I've owned my truck for over 20 years (bought it a couple months before my 16th birthday in 1996).

Re: 68 project
Haha. I too thought I was indestructible but then stuff started hurting the last year or two and I'm only 33! I guess they don't make 'em like they used too.

Re: 68 project
Dr. Hewitt, read your whole post. I may try the same route you are going, you can still find some nice long beds and decent prices. My granddaughter lives in Winston Salem, I'm there quite often watching her play sports.

Re: 68 project
My neighbor has had more parts replaced than most cars on the road. Both knees, hips and elbows. Bionic man he is. Lol

No for the compressor. I was wondering if there something specific about it?
