Re: "Rice Rocket'
start with the gaps from the back of the cab and door.. where it latches.. then work to fender and door gap etc etc. windshield all you do is get a new gasket and slide the rubber on it while its sittin on a bench then have someone hold it up there and use a pick or something to pull the gasket threw while u are on the inside... putting a gasket on with chrome trim is a pain.. i didnt use trim when i put mine in

Re: "Rice Rocket'
I'll tackle the windshield tomorow, hood is on but gaps/shuts crappy. door is on but doesnst open well (probably because no rocker cab corner or lower A/B pillar)
When I get done looking at everything on here ima go outside and put my inside heater box back on and pull it out and snap some good pics with the digital camera Hopefully tomorow: I get my filler rigged up. And get my windshield/cowl on. Should I use any sealer on the windsheild? I just want something to keep the bugs outta my teeth while I look for a good cab.

Re: "Rice Rocket'
did you have the rad support loose? I had to move that to get the hood lined up on my blazer. Or just the up and down adjustment on the fenders.

Re: "Rice Rocket'
Saw a 67 or 68 on speedchannel just now (seen it before i got my 68 also). They showed a 'how to on installing windshields, on a 1968 chevy truck lol
so ima tackle that tomorow they made it look easy ![]() Heres some pics of my swaybar i got from my buddy parting out a truck awhile back for $15. Everyone says its a huge improvement. I got new bushigns too. Thats all soaking in soapy water/purple power. Does my lower A arms already have mounting holes for a swaybar (stock 68 lcas) Heres some pics:

Re: "Rice Rocket'
Not sure about the holes in the A-Arms, but they make a huge improvement when driving waaaayyyy too fast through twisties. It will be like learning to drive a new truck.

Re: "Rice Rocket'
Ah, where in Florida were you? I'm about to start working on the oil clean up myself. Already did the training and certification to pick it up. I'm guessing from the looks of it you were out by Pensacola?

anyhow, it has been hot tanked and i masked it all off and sprayed it with this along with some other things..should I have made a better decision and got a better $$$$ rattle can primer? ![]() would it be worth it to get the primer off and clean and REprimer it all? I dont want it flaking off in a week lol. what order should i paint my motor, and how many THIN coats of everything thanks! Also which intake should i get?: weiand stealth (builder recomended) summit brand edelbrock performer eps OR (what you guys recommend edelbrock) *other your choice* 355 vortec heads thumper cam balanced bottom end, not sure on carb yet, I have a 500 cfm edelbrock but probably need a bigger one right? thanks

Everything on the motor needs to be high temp paint, or it will burn off.
