New Daily Driver
Brought home a '68 swb fleetside the other day, it's a driver quality truck and intended to be my daily driver. The 503 light green paint was likely done on the cheap as it's best viewed from about 10 feet away but it'll be fine for a truck I'll use everyday. Interior wise it's in good condition and the seat sits pretty well. The driver's window regulator has a couple of bumps in its travel, the PO gave me a new after market regulator but I think I'll spend some time to see if I can sort out the original first. It has a small aftermarket steering wheel that looks out of place, he gave me the original but a comfort grip should be a great replacement. The original 307/3ott runs and shifts well but I see a newer 327 or 350 with an automatic making its way into the engine compartment. I got a set of drop springs with the truck so as soon as I can get some drop shocks to compliment them we'll throw them in and see where it lands. Anyway here are the few pics I have now, I'll throw more up as soon as I get them.
