Re: My 68 Chevy journey
Painted the bed, all the block sanding made it pretty straight.

Re: My 68 Chevy journey
Yep that is a camero fender, wonder if someone would spot it. It is another buddy of ours car and it is a ss, convertible, I believe it is a 68 also. We were primering his parts for him.

Re: My 68 Chevy journey
We got the taillights and blinkers working, going from 1998 wiring to 1968 not as complicated as I thought. Had one light on the back that was more dim than the other and it was simply new paint in the way of the ground. Scraped it away and it work like it was supposed to.

Re: My 68 Chevy journey
Had a quick question for ya. Are you running the stock truck manifolds it looks like it from your picture. I just put my 5.7 in from a 2000 van and the manifolds would not come close to fitting. Thanks

Re: My 68 Chevy journey
Plexi-glass on the instrument cluster and lights. It is a glove box door and a 98 cluster behind the hole cut out in the glove box door. The back side of the plexi-glass is painted black except where the gauges are, turned out well.

Re: My 68 Chevy journey
Put red door panels and sunvisors in my truck, now need to have the seat recovered. I am thinking a black seat with red trim. Also put on a rearview mirror, it was driving me crazy without one.

Re: My 68 Chevy journey
Side marker lights came out of a 80's model van at the pickapart. The 98 truck wiring had the spot for lights so we just wired them in. Pretty cool they are just supposed to be reflectors in 68 i believe.
