Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
Freaking amazing Chris!!!!
That thing is clearer than a mirror. BTW... I love the trailer. We have one close to it. Would you mind posting a picture of the toolbox area upfront? Did you add a winch?

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
Outrageous I have said this a thousand times but I love this truck. I kick myself in the butt every day I sold my black 72. Paint was not as nice as this one but I love black. What is your completion date.

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
Yeah , I've been going back and forth about buying one for the last few years . You know , when I was younger I could slide a piece of cardboard under a vehicle and spend the day working underneath it . Now I'm hurting after 30 minutes !
![]() I don't remember the actual width but I can get you a measurement
