Finally starting the 68swb fleet

Just checking fit then apart she goes again, so far it's not too bad, AMD and OER panels and they're all pretty close, not show quality but I'm going for the resto rat rod driver look anyway, still jealous of yours

Looking good!!!!

Do you ever order parts from Scott's Super Trucks?
Or just order out if the states.??

There's a classic industries dealer in GP I use a lot, mostly my orders are through them or the states though, Scott's has gotten crazy for pricing and I found them pretty rude on the phone lately so I've been opting for other places

Not going to lie guys, this bodywork thing is getting old fast, I have posted a wanted ad to enlist help from a professional, after looking at my handiwork I am not confident in my ability and would rather it isn't painted and me being my worst critic so I will keep you guys posted on what happens, got a few replies and plan to interview after the long weekend

Should be heading for final bodywork and paint this weekend, I'll try and post some more pics before it goes with the hood and doors on, sorry for the lack of updates, I pick at it a bit here and there but I started a snowmobile hillclimb race league so I've been pretty preoccupied. The light is at the end of the tunnel I hope the paint goes well

I will try and get on here with my laptop and update. Believe it or not after all these years I haven't given up or completed this truck but it just rolled out of paint so the light is at the end of the tunnel and I will try and get pics up when I get to my laptop as my phones not cut out to upload I guess

Is there a medal for the longest build project in history? Hoping to drive it by the end of April haha lucky 13

Welcome back. Nice truck. Need more pics.

[tantrumpipeline]

Thanks been awhile for sure I should have more soon I’m away at work

[tantrumpipeline]

Hahaha it’s true I’m considering swapping wheels now too it’s a never ending deal. I’m gonna steal that line for when the wife starts grilling me about replacing new parts

[tantrumpipeline]

One piece glass is in and I say every time this is the last time I do that but I’m sure I’ll do it again. Hoping to install the Holley sniper under bed tank and reinstall bedwood this weekend then maybe get it to exhaust and then off to wiring

[tantrumpipeline]

Off to exhaust and alignment, then over to electrical and a little plumbing, toss new front tires on and it’s gonna be time to destroy the rears for the first time in nearly 14 years

A little more work on the frame done, patch is complete, can't even tell it was done, c-notch is cut in and ready to drill and bolt in after the POR15 goes on, broke two ball joint forks trying to get the passenger lower ball joint to pop.....spindle got torched, too impatient and the grand slam comes with new dropped ones anyway sorry for the crude blackberry pics, the shop is dark even with the oil rig platform sodium light and to keep it under 100kb a pic it's easiest for me, blurryness however as you can see the build is being sponsored in part by various beer and pizza companies
