Re: New Project at Musclerodz - '68 K20
Thanks, I really need to hire someone to get a bunch more products online. I have thousands of parts numbers, but have had no time to load them with all the projects in the shop now.

Re: New Project at Musclerodz - '68 K20
Cab is finished with the cab corner repaired, and the new 67-68 firewall installed in place of the 72 firewall that was removed. I now have a 100% RUST FREE A/C cab. This was not the cheap way to go about it, but every cab we found needed similar amounts of needed repair, just in different locations. Also by doing what we did, we did not tamper with the vin to the truck.

Re: New Project at Musclerodz - '68 K20
Thanks everyone. I should have updates on the chassis very soon. I am in the middle of finishing the paint on the suspension so I can start assembly. Most everything is sitting here ready to install.

Fenders and doors ready for sealer and color. I had the front clip reblasted yesterday and will be starting body work Monday. We are priming the bed today.

Re: New Project at Musclerodz - '68 K20
This is gonna be a sweet truck! Exellent work!
Just for my own curiosity. What the differences between a 68 and a 72 firewall? Cool! I'm curious about the drivetrain.

Re: New Project at Musclerodz - '68 K20
just found this build... nice work so far... Wonder if that hidden object was an OSHA requirement?
I say that it was the original owner's stash for those "chance" encounters at the Saloon after the rodeo! You are in OK right?

Re: New Project at Musclerodz - '68 K20
Front bed panel was replaced today. Looked good until it was closely examined and was starting to rot through at the roll on top of the panel.

Re: New Project at Musclerodz - '68 K20
Last piece of the suspension puzzle finally here. D44 from 73 K20. I am going to hate cleaning this thing up.

Re: New Project at Musclerodz - '68 K20
We have cabinets for small stuff but I send the big stuff out. I will power wash it, the mess that is left is what I really hate.
