Hey is that panhard bar the shorter one or like the SUPERTRAC bar? Whered you get it at? Price? I need one also.

I remember your lookin' for some trim, theres a guy in Mcminnville TN with a 68 cst longbed its got all the trim. PM me for his telephone # if your interested, if you dont get the trim I will (I took mine off years ago and someone shoulda slapped me for it! I ruined most of it taking it off...)

Thanks. Really hoping this year is the year. Got some money set back, so time is the only issue, but it should be on the road soon. Yes on the Patina. Rust and Chrome baby!!

Panhard bar is the shorter one. Bought it for $50 plus shipping off Ebay. PM me and I'll send you a link.

Yes on the trim....depending on price. Send me a pm on here or TNCTC.com.

or you could use some primer and paint it. scuff n prime!

Got this in the other day.

Also got a wild hair and bought an industrial 3 phase welder off Craigslist (Hobart Arc-master 501). Tig, Mig, Stick. But it's 3 phase. Trying to figure out how to convert this over to 200/220 or just use a rotary phase converter. Anyone have any experience with this?
