OG Paint 68 GMC SWB 503 Green

Well the time has officially come, I need to thin the herd and move some projects that I don't have time to finish. My 68 GMC is the first on the chopping block so I am going to offer it up here before I post on Facebook or anywhere else.

Asking Price - $25k firm

Full build thread here - https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=731315

Drivetrain Details:
Freshly rebuilt 327 top and bottom, kept it fairly stock but wanted reliability. I used the comp cams 268XE cam. Double hump heads rebuilt, arp fasteners, etc. Painted the engine with Eastwood two part epoxy paint
Has a nice 700r4 bolted to the 327 that is ready to roll. A good friend pulled it out of a new build and decided to LS swap it, only had a few hundred miles on the rebuild.
Rear end is out of a square body, I dont remember the gear ratio of the top of my head.
Do not have driveshaft, needs exhaust, etc.

Suspension Details:
Factory frame, cleaned and painted with Rustoleum Oil Base paint out of a paint gun. I have had great luck with this product. Factory front crossmember was pancaked 1 1/2". Porterbuilt front upper and lower control arms, freshly powder coated. Tin works trans crossmember, Tin works truck arm crossmember, and Tin works tubular truck arms. Front CPP 6 lug disc brake conversion kit with 2 1/2" drop spindles. Weld in rear notch by Tin works. I was at the point of needed to buy bags but never did so you could easily use coil springs with this setup and avoid the hassle of air management.
Need shocks, coil springs (or bags), need to weld in the rear end perches once pinion angle is set (I have the perches), and needs steering. Wheels are factory 6 lug steelies that clear disc. I had them blasted and painted, new coker tires installed, and a nice set of GMC caps.

Sheet metal details:
The truck was not perfect when I got it but I have done about 90% of the work to get it perfect. Reference the build thread for more details and pics on what was done. Cab was completely gone through, minor firewall patch done, both rockers (inner and outer) cab corner patches on both sides, and a minor patch at the drivers foot board. Cab floor was painted with POR15 and color match raptor liner top and bottom. Bottom of RF fender was fixed and paint matched. Front lip of the hood still needs a little work but it all hides behind the trim pieces. Both door bottoms have been fixed and paint matched. Bed sides have not been touched, they have some dents and some minor rust on the bottom lip. I was planning on doing a bed floor raise and cutting off that metal Tailgate has some rust still in the bottom edge, I was in the middle of fixing but never finished.

Misc:
I have a ton of parts I have collected and purchased for this truck that I will gladly include for the next guy. All door guts, a set of original decent side trim, original bumpers that are decent, new carpet and other misc interior parts, I was planning on doing a wood bed floor so I have the wooden slats and hardware for that project (just no wood). I am sure there is more but it has been a while since I have looked over it all.

Please feel free to text or call if you are interested. I am happy to send pictures if needed or discuss the project and what needs to be done.
