Old to New

You all have prob seen both of these trucks before. But I know the guy who built them. He built the 68, then later sold it to buy the SSR in stock form and then customized it.

Re: Old to New

Yeah, I was surprised when he did that too. But he has owned several diff hot rods over the years and after having the 68 done for a while decided to move on.

And btw, the 68 had a ram jet also, here are more pics.

I don't remeber the specs on suspension. My pics are from like 06. Here are a few more pics. Rear sups was leaf spring and fronts have what looks like diff lower control arms. Had a S10 Gas tank that was not as low to ground as it looks in pic.
