my 68 shortbed build

[fastcam1]

Hey just gotta say awesome truck saw it today at good guys would have been cool to meet you but you weren't by the truck when I saw it. I think it definitely looks alot better now than when I saw it two years ago at the show love the coy wheels and bench seat cleaned up the look of the truck. Also cool to see more of us younger guys building these trucks keep it up

Wow nice work! This may have been mentioned already but I didn't read every post. What wheels are those at the beginning of the build?

Man kid you have some skillz. Nice build.

[Wbrown]

Looks great man, it's funny that even though it's pretty much been finished. Our trucks are never really finished.

thanx for all the kind words!!

Hurst28- are you talking about the black 15'' wheels or the chrome 20'' wheels??

the back ones were just 15x8 truck rallys and the 20's were ultra 295 flairs (20x9)

Hey I just got my Goodguys gazette and there was a pic of your truck in it from Puyallup. Very cool man! Look foward to seeing it again next year, I'll have mine there hopefully.

[cstm68]

i scraped my last idea for front inner fenders and bought a duel axle trailer fender to cut up. so on to the pics

[mcbassin]

I like what you have going here. I think we need more pictures!

[FRENCHBLUE72]

Im pretty much in the same boat just have not figured out how to inclose the fenders and make them look nice? Im looking forward to see what you come up with.

thanx man, i mounted the fuse box under the dash, then ran the wires through the side vent in the kick pannel and through the top of the fender. for the starter wires i ran them under the dash and drilled a hole in the passenger floor where it meets the fire wall and ran thoes few wires strait to the starter.

[68steppsidee]

thats exactly what ive been playing on doing.. when you cut the hole for the wires on both ends did you put a rubber groumet or anything...also does your wires run on the underside of the fenders if so how are you keeping it strapped up ..

Yes I used rubber groumets in the holes, rite now the wires are in plastic loom material and just zip tied into the fender since in still fabing some inner fenders

Today I picked up my driveline I had cut to size, I needed a new one with a slip shaft since I kept braking carrier bearing mounts after bagging the truck
