OK, update... got lots of it put together, well sorta... Bed wood in, new eyelids, new tails and reverse lights with working side markers, badges all new, all windows in with new seals, radiator and behind grille painted back black, grille blinders installed, and new door handles, lots more too, enjoy:

Sorry for it being sideways, but yea, fresh door panels too:

Looks great!! I'd drop that bad boy just a little and lose the eyebrows (JMO) and it would be perfect! Love the white side out BFG's!

It is going to get a 1" front drop and 2" rear drop, the eyebrows, I haven't made up my mind on them yet... but thanks!

That will look good. My '69 had about the same stance, and that's how much mine actually dropped with springs. Well, it actually dropped 1.5" in the front and about 2.5" in the rear. Here is a before and after shot for comparison. BTW, you can see why I'm bias towards the BFG's

BP68 · 04-03-2008, 07:30 AM

Niiiice truck. But I am partial to Blue.

randomhero472 · 04-03-2008, 03:12 PM

I think your Grandad would be proud of the job you did on his truck. it looks great!

msgross · 08-11-2008, 07:52 AM

Is all your front nose trim aftermarket?

The trim around the grill openings is GM but its from the 80s so it has been replaced... but yes most is aftermarket... truck didn't have too much to salvage
