Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside
Glad to have you along for the ride!
For $180 shipped it was well worth it! Made pulling the cab a piece of cake! Plus you can use it to lift a bed too! It handles up to 1500lbs. Quote:

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside
Didn't have much time to work on the truck today with it being Super Bowl Sunday and all but I did manage to get the front suspension out!

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside
I put it on the swap meet. But no one will pay my asking. So I will just keep it. It's pretty much done with the exception of a few things..

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside
nice progress. I wish you were not so far away from me, I would take that 6cyl and trans off your hands. I am thinking of putting my '65 back to a 6cyl like it was when I got it from my grandfather...

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside
Darn page flip.... I missed your wheels and cab removal.
Very nice looking wheels. I think they will fit perfect with you theme for the truck. Definitely dig the cab removal tool. Excellent investment. Keep it up Keith. |

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside
Sorry to hear about your big "D", been through one of those and they suck. With that said, DAMN, nice start to a new truck!! Love the motor!! with a red motor like that, I would go flat black outside, just my thoughts. But with the rims, I would go with a flat grey. Cannot wait to see more progress.

![]() Thanks Scott, I have a lot more parts on order that I'm waiting to come in. My Porterbuilt rear and inner frame stiffener isn't scheduled to be here until April. But we all know it is definitely worth the wait.

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside
I'm in for round two! I know what it's like to wait on PB parts, but well worth the wait like you said.
My front dropmember was a one-off C4 version they did as a favor. It took a long time. Keep the pics coming ![]()

Re: Project "Redemption" 68 SWB Fleetside
I also took advantage of the tax time sale Laid Back Recreations is currently having and ordered the Wilwood 13" 4 piston rear brake kit. Saved quite a bit over what Summit was charging for it. I highly suggest checking with them if anybody is looking for some parts
