1968 Panel Build
This was my dads Project, He recently passed away. He got it from a guy right down the road for a new Roof on his house. Before that it was a Lifeguard Truck in San Diego. Originally Truck was special ordered By a company called Plantronics Inc. From whatt i can gather they made Headsets for Nasa back in the day.
68 327 3 speed on the Column. 62xxx original miles. She is slowly coming along..

Re: 1968 Panel
Satin Black and drive it as of now. There might be an ls swap in its future..probably just the 5.3 truck motor and 4l60e. Havent decided on seats yet.. might keep original and try to find another original style bucket to put in the back for the little girl. If not, ill find some seats out of a newer style extended cab truck. so she has somewhere to sit in the back while not compromising too much of my bed space. already got front discs. gonna do ps & pb soon. already got the parts thanks to the guys on here.
Just got the Cowl hood, inner fender and bumpers in today. Had my uncle pick up a grille from BigSnookMaster yesterday. waiting on him to ship that up to me. |

Re: 1968 Panel
Got the Firewall somewhat smoothed out and painted, new windshield washer hoses ran, booster installed and power steering gearbox swapped out, now i just gotta find the right pulleys for the pump.
Sorry about the picture quality.

Looks like you have made some good progress on it. I just finished putting an LS1/4l60e combo in my '67 Panel Truck and I love it. The LS install starts with post #62. http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...d.php?t=648822 LockDoc

Re: 1968 Panel
Thanks guys. I just started going again a couple months ago.
She's running and driving down the road. Will continue to update as i progress. its almost ready to go to the body shop. I'll leave some notes of my experiences with certain products and what not at some point. This forum has silently guided me through the whole deal (thanks for the help everyone) so, i will try to help where i can. |

Re: 1968 Panel
Looking really good, I like the way the tires fill the well. What size rim and tire are you using ???
