1968 candy Chevy

This is my 1968 Chevy k10. I turned this truck into a k20 were I put 3/4 axles new shocks new brake lines and of course new longer drivelines cause with the axles I put a 6 inch lift and 20 inch xd rims with 35s not everyone’s favorite but I think it made the truck right now I’m waiting on my wire harness just got the truck driveing after I blew up the th350 running it with no fluid like an idiot will keep y’all updated on this project proud of how far it has came by the way this is actually a 1971 Chevy I just took the 71 front clip off and traded my dad for a 68 front clip

Re: 1968 candy Chevy

Nice truck! I have worked on this stuff all my adult life and I am 60. I recently changed the knock sensors on my 2000 4-Runner. Did something wrong when I put the intake on and filled it with coolant. The coolant filled a cylinder and when I started it it hydro locked and destroyed the engine.I blame it on the metric fasteners. You learn from your mistakes and move on!

Re: 1968 candy Chevy

I like it. Keep on keepin' on with it. Those bumper mounted driving lights are high enough to run as headlights.

If you keep at the progress on this truck the way you write (non-stop) you'll have it done in no time
