Re: 1968
Today, I welded the patch on the rear drivers side fender. Still got to do a little more welding and grinding and a small amount of bondo. Got a little worn out today. I thought I would take it easy the rest of the day. Going up to Georgia in a few day to build a kitchen and bath room. Family needs help and this way I can look as I go and see if there are any trucks up there. I need a few parts for the inside cab.
Also here is a picture of my little helpers. The weather is real nice today. |

Re: 1968
It might be only me but, is the rear of this truck too high. My tire size is 30x9.50xR16.

Re: 1968
The back is approx 2" higher than the front from the factory so you can put a load in the bed and not ride low. If you used the stock spring length then thats why.
Vic told me that those bedside weld on strips are really reasonably priced. |

Looks really nice. Your brother-in-law will have an easy time getting it painted.
Great Job. |

Re: 1968
Today, I ran my transmission lines to the radiator and transmission. They came out easier than they went back in. Anyway they are done. This is all I did today.

Re: 1968
Today, while I was looking for some bolts in my bolt bin. While I opened it up I heard something fall inside. So I looked and it was locked the bottom door. I found the key inside one of the drawer. I use this as a bolt bin. You want believe what I found. You see I was giving this old cash register bottom about 6 months ago. Never thought of looking in the bottom door. Here is what I found. All of these tools are in great condition. But, they are old.

Re: 1968
It sounds like you are ready for a break from the old girl, it happens there is nothing to be ashamed of.
I'm in the other boat I've had a loooong break from mine and I'm ready to get going again. |

Re: 1968
Nice Find.
I usually yell, silently in my mind, "Score" like at the hockey games. My wife can tell when that happening with me at garage sales. She just smiles. How long do you think your brother-in-law will have the truck? |

Re: 1968
My Brother-In-Law lives about 4 hours south of me. In Leigh High Acres, Florida. That is too far to take the old girl called Patches. He will be coming up here in Homosasa, Florida to do the fine tuning. He thinks it will only take him one week end. I got the paint, so when he is down I hope to paint it also. I hope we can get it painted the same week end. I don't want to push him. He is saving me a lot of money. He is a real nice guy. I have always liked him from the start. We have been friends for 36 years.

I feel like I need one on the cab stuff, but I just can't seem to stop. I enjoy it too much I guess. |

Re: 1968
I did the same thing as that but, I took the tools inside and showed them to her. She said that nice. If she only would get imspiried a little. I guess that is not a woman thing. But my two adophed boys got excited enough for her.
