Also what are the widths? Thanks! Your truck looks GREAT! Now go have fun with it.

Oh, What are the seats from? Are they buddie buckets?

the wheels in the back are 16 x 10 and the fronts are 15 x 8 and yep the seats are a set of buddy buckets. thanks for the comments

It will, took me about three years

mclairmo · 07-31-2009, 07:50 PM

My truck has been sitting for over 3 years with slow progress. It's at my folks house and I have a 4 year old son and a demanding career. Hard to work on it. However, it will get done.

**Palf70Step** · 07-31-2009, 07:54 PM

Beautiful ride!

You did a really great job on her.

ironhead342001 · 07-31-2009, 08:05 PM

Sharp, crisp and clean. I like it. where did you get the seat?

**68 Stepside** · 07-31-2009, 08:08 PM

Beautiful truck. My buddy has a 69 swb that was bought new in Beebe.

dave2953 · 07-31-2009, 09:00 PM

Beautiful truck! I especially like the seats and the speakers in the kick panels. Awesome job!

young grasshoppa · 07-31-2009, 09:25 PM

Original 67 - 68 buddy bucket set that I bought from a friend . Broke them down , powdered coated the frame and had them recovered.I got real lucky and the foam was in great shape. I won't even tell you what I got in them.
