He's an outstanding paint and body man, but an even better man and friend! (I know that you know this Chris, but I just felt like he deserves some more recognition!!) Your truck will be on magazine covers when you are done!!

More pics, more pics....

How did I miss this build? This truck is amazing, love those fatties out back!

BACKYARD88 · 06-16-2012, 10:52 AM

I think I just need to sell my truck, there's NO way I can compete with this kind of quality

Looks Beautiful Chris!

your truck is super clean and bad a** do you plan on painting below the trim line to match the grille as well as the tailgate letters in white ? or just the grille the rest black? looks super classy this way and different than the norm. congrats on such a beautiful truck.

Subscribed! This is turning out to be one beautiful 68, love the fine detail applied to this build. Great job Chris!

Bennett68C10 · 06-18-2012, 12:14 PM

Chris is that a one-piece or two-piece driveshaft.

It's a one piece shaft Keith ! 3 1/2" dia . My original plans were to go 4" alum. But had clearance issues when aired out. Denny's said that this 3 1/2 will handle 750 HP. I figured I'm good .... For the time being !!!!

What U-Joints are you running, 1330 or 1350. The only reason I am asking is because I'm looking to do a similar setup. I have been checking out their website trying figure out what I will need. My problem is I don't know my ride height yet, have to get the bed back on to figure it out. Are you still using the stock trailing arm crossmember or did you change it?

**67cheby** · 06-20-2012, 08:46 AM

I have never told anyone this before but.....that is the best looking shaft I have ever seen !

Hey Keith , sorry for the delay ! The last month has been so busy trying to get this thing finished, I really neglected this thread . I'll have to back up in the thread and see where I left off. Currently the truck is complete minus the bed . When I raised the bed floor , I had never sectioned the inner bed panels to make the body lines line up with the ones on the wheel tubs . That is now done but they are sitting in slick sand at the moment . I actually pulled the plug on getting this thing down to CTC in two weeks. Ill just bring the Nova instead . Just not enough time to get her complete . We were going to bring it with a fresh coat of black epoxy on the bed but I'll just wait till its complete before bringing it out . I'll update first chance i get !
