Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside
It's only scary when you first start sanding, after that, it's actually kinda fun. Best part is parking wherever the 'F' you want and not worrying about it
![]() All kidding aside, your truck is beautiful. Redemption is gonna be a different kind of beauty ![]()

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside
Thanks guys, it makes a huge difference when you can actually see the project look like a truck again. I was a little down on it after what happened to me with the Billet Specialty wheels. Now after seeing what it's going to look like, I have renewed excitement to keep plugging away at it.

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside
Set the truck at ride height today and checked my tire to fender clearance lock to lock! I had plenty of room, one less thing to think about! Then in about an hour it was back to just a rolling chassis

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside
Made a change to my build that I think is for the better. It will save me a ton of time with rust repair. I picked up a 99% rust free cab from California with doors! I say 99% because it has a little spot in the passenger side kick panel area I will need to fix but everything else is in absolutely amazing condition. The outer and inner rockers, cab corners, floor, cab supports, firewall and just about every other part of the cab are in great shape!
It is a 69 A/C cab wearing its original 507 light blue paint with a good title. Plans are match the rest of the truck to the cab and doors. The doors are in great shape as well, just need to fill some extra mirror holes in the door skin! Don't know why someone would drill so many holes for mirrors ![]()

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside
A good cab is THE key piece to building these trucks.
Congrats on your purchase!

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside
Don't laugh but I actually found it on ebay. I certainly wasn't looking for it at the time. It was listed for $750.00, so I contacted the seller and conversed back and forth for a few days about the condition of the cab and doors as well as the title. The seller was actually making a trip out east to Rhode Island, Connecticut and Maryland dropping off some other cabs, so it was nothing for him to stop in NJ and deliver it to me. We worked out the details and settled on a very decent shipping price. So I decided to take a chance and bought it. Turns out it's probably the best decision I made for this build.
