68 LONG BED to SB Fleet

[QUOTE=72 SHORTBED 7.0;3324066]Nice work ..

Some times you're ready for some thing else I wanted to sale my single turbo supra 20 or 30 times. My wife and my son gets all mad at me too so I think.
I will keep it .. You put all the work in to your truck keep it

Thanks 72 SHORTBED - Nice looking Supra, I've always had muscle cars with high HP big blocks but have always been impressed with the built Supras and HP they get out of them. I got rid of a 69 Camaro a little over a year ago and have a nice 65 Chevelle now that the wife says is her car.

I'll keep the truck - will just have the grand plan on hold a little longer. I have everything for AC except a pulleys for the balancer and water pump so I'll get that installed soon hopefully and I want to get a 200r4 in next. I'll wait do the the air ride, brakes, and wheels when I'm ready to make that spend - the way I want to do that will cost more than twice what I have in the entire truck alone at this point. I'm still driving it everyday though, even in the 100+ temps we're having right now.

I actually ended up selling the truck - the new owner picked it up on Friday, a great guy and seemed to really like the truck. He actually wanted to drive it home and is on his way back to Melfort, SK for about a 1900 mile road trip in 110+ degree temps - here in AZ at least. A real coincidence because before this truck I had a 71 Cheyenne Super hugger orange and white that a guy in Canada bought about 2 years ago that lived in Saskatoon which isn't too far from where this individual lives. I had been going back and forth on keeping or selling the truck and decided to sell this one so I could build another - you can blame the guys on here that have the crew cab projects because now I want to try building one myself so I'm currently sourcing a couple of donors to start cutting and welding again.

Blakeaz33 - good luck with your career choices. I just wanted to pass on that I really enjoyed your work on your truck and referenced it a time or two while working on mine.

If you tell me what your looking for, for the crewcab I'll start looking for you down on this side of town.

Best of luck - rw

Appreciate it RW - planning on staying where I am and doing what I'm doing, should be on track in the next couple of months to start looking for the next project. Would like to find a clean as close to survivor type 68 CST (like everyone else) 1/2 ton or 3/4 ton wouldn't matter. Seems like the loaded up 3/4 tons are a little easier to find in better shape for less money - not being in a great big hurry helps. Good luck to you on your project, thanks again and appreciate the kind words.
