My 15 y/o daughter, Paxton's, 1968 4x4 build thread - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I posted a few pics over on the main page, but I figured I would start her a build thread so we could keep track of the progress. I'll post pics of the truck and the new wheels we bought and the BFGs once they get installed. Here's a quick rundown. It's a 1968 SWB 4x4 with a 250/4speed, and that's about it. I'm going to put the prices I paid down in case a new guy wonders what it costs to do one of these.

Truck $650.00
M/T Challenger wheels $450.00
Buddy Bucket seats $600.00
BFG A/T KO 31x10.50x15 $450 for all 5 with 200 miles on them
The tire figure should change since they came on some really nice jeep wheels that I think I can sell to help offset the tire cost.
Total so far:$2150.00
