Re: Finally starting the 68swb fleet
Well somehow, I pulled oncall for the Dec 22-29 the day I got home off the plane, and have just been full out since. I started to paint calipers last night, need to drop off axle shafts at Midwest to get turned down to fit the rear disks on them. once that is done I can put the rear axle together. After that air lines and brake lines, frame is done. Still waiting for some wheels to show up, rears are in but no fronts.

Re: Finally starting the 68swb fleet
Also picked up a 68 Long GMC for $100 lastnight, pick it up this weekend. Figured it would be a good thing to have for parts, cause I know I am going to spend more than that on little stuff. From the pics it looks like it has lots of usable stuff if you need.

Re: Finally starting the 68swb fleet
Did you sell that tailgate yet? A guy at work is putting together an 80's stepside and is looking for a NOS gate. Let me know.

Re: Finally starting the 68swb fleet
still have it, but I'm leaning towards keepin it, you can find NOS gates online for $500 and a repro is $300 so I'm not jumping to sell it just yet, but I want the smoothe or louvered one a bit just because of the type of build I'm doing, if he wants to come look at it and see the small ding and shoot me an offer I will sell it if it's worth while

Re: Finally starting the 68swb fleet
thanks, 2-3months and I will be back at it, it's hard to go into the grage and see it sitting there, parts all over and ready to be painted/installed, and the only thing holding me back is weather

Re: Finally starting the 68swb fleet
+7 today, that means you can work with the door open. Now what's your excuse, the snow is all set up and can't ride on it anyway. Looks like I have to start working on mine now, blew up my diamond drive yesterday @ Allen Creek.

Re: Finally starting the 68swb fleet
Ouch, good excuse for a lightweight dd install, we're still finding some decent riding, pretty well just riding whatever I can, picked up an 11 M8 last week. Want to start the truck build again but I'm just lacking interest lately, it would be nice to get the house cleared of all the parts and boxes though
