Re: 68 build...south of DFW
Which headers are you using? I'm in the situation regarding the radiator that I need one with a passenger inlet / outlet. I was going to check with PRC radiators to see how much one would cost.

Re: 68 build...south of DFW
The headders are for chevells/and early model camaros and are the shorty ones. I found someone on ebay that builds radiators for 67-72 truck with LT1s. They are aluminum and have the electric fans with fan shrouds included.
Here are a couple of pictures with the core support. My dad had some old rally wheels that I am using to roll around on. Think they will be on until after all the paint work is done so the new wheels stay new. I found this really straight 67 front clip. All of the sheetmetal on it is in 10x better shape than what I have and it doesnt have the marker lights. I need to start getting rid of the other front ends I have. |

Re: 68 build...south of DFW
The round ones on each end came from Vintage Air, the one in the center of the dash is from a 64 Caddy!

Re: 68 build...south of DFW
I have decide to hold off on buying rims and tires for a while. If I were to get them, they would just sit in the corner until the paint is finished. Im going to try and start working on getting the cab and bed on next.

Re: 68 build...south of DFW
Sweet, funny I'm just now seeing this thread. I bought your grill last night, talked to your dad for a while about yours and his truck. I figured you may have had a build thread.

Re: 68 build...south of DFW
Im getting ready to head out of town for a couple of weeks but that fuel rail cam in and I got it swapped over. Its out of a corvette and lets me run the lines on the passanger side. It is polished and this picture doesnt do it justice.
My dad used to have a paint and body shop and he is the one that will be doing the majority of the paint and body work. I picked up a gallon of primer and Im hoping he will be able to get some of the body preped while im gone. |

Re: 68 build...south of DFW
Im still out of town so I havent done anything to the truck but I did order some 67 bedsides and all the body mounts. I am hoping to get the cab put back on when I get a couple of days at home.

Re: 68 build...south of DFW
Got home today and I had parts waiting for me. I got the call to leave again tomorrow but I am hoping to be back monday to get something done. I ordered a roll pan to but got a stepside one so I have to send it back.

Re: 68 build...south of DFW
I got the panels from LMC, they had the best price with the free shipping for orders over $1000. I got a body mount kit with all the bushings and bolts too. I forgot to get the bolts that bolts the panels together. Anyone know what size they are off hand?

Re: 68 build...south of DFW
Got home today and got the bed assembled. As soon as I get the rollpan back and get it welded up I will take it back off and get it primed.
