Wanna sell it...

Be sure to keep us posted on the bodywork, that will be one killer truck when it's finished.

It's perfect....

If mine looked like that I would consider it finished!

Does anyone have pics of their orginial unrestored "patina" trucks??????
Maybe I can show my wife how popular "oxidized" paint really is.

Here's my other trucks...one I gave to my dad (patina green) and the other green and white one is just a daily driver (4 spd granny).
Heres both of my trucks... Let me tell you I have had MORE fun with the 64 than the 68... Alot more fun!!!
