1968 SWB, Pick her up tomorow..woo hoooo
Hi guys, 9 mos later and we finally get her back. Still have to do the interior and a rear end swap, but the body is finally complete. Annnd shes comming home. It was my dads truck, bought brand new. I lost him in 2004 but I do know hes grinning from ear to ear watching my son and I fix this baby up.

Nice! I dig the clean semi-shaved look. No clutter. Tinted glass would look great on there.

Re: 1968 SWB, Pick her up tomorow..woo hoooo
Yeah, the local college cops, followed us in on our test drive.. all was well. the rims are Eagle 20s, Ill have to look at tires tomorow to see size, 245/50s I think. LMC side markers, 69s I think they were, clear. and thank you all, My son and I are excited beyond compare..oh and we decided to leave all the body badges off except in the grill. I have them all shiney and new but not on truck. Garage wall I suppose,,, or... living room??

Very nice, liking the color. Looks like my 68 Chevelle. (2002 chevy storm metallic grey) my son loves that hood looks like it fits ok.

A very nice truck and a very good son you are to your dad keeping his truck and making it a lovely truck. Your family I am sure appreciates what you have done with it
To me , its a perfect truck, not over the top but an everyday mans dream truck. God bless and may your son hold it in as high regard as you do. I wish I had the chance to keep my fathers truck. phillip |

Congrats! I'm sure your dad is doing a little dance after seeing that thing. You did your dad proud, truck looks AWESOME!. I hope the truck gives you and your son many cool days together cruising it around.
Make sure to keep us up to date on the interior progress. |
