1st place@SuperChevy-Houston - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**STP67-72** · 09-28-2003, 09:59 PM

This is a '68 step side that I had just started about this time last year. I built this truck to sale. I had a guy doing the paint and body work for 2,000.00 and was only going to take him 2 months. 10 months later I had to go pick the truck up in parts and very unfinished. I finished the truck in 2.5 months. A very good friend of mine is an excellent painter. I decided to get him to paint the truck because I knew I could trust him. It cost me twice as much but ended up being worth it. I did all the work except for the exterior paint and body. I am still doing some finishing touches on the truck and will be ready soon. I have decided to put in a vintage air conditioning system. The truck will be in the 13,000.00 price range. I went to the Super Chevy Show last week-end and a friend of mine talked me into putting it in the truck show. I ended up winning 1st place in the street class (1947-1972) and very pleased. I had some very interested people saturday. Unfortunately sunday rained out but it was a lot of fun and I am glad my wife and I went. Now I am excited about starting my 1972 cheyenne swb to keep and enjoy.
