Maybe even a little friendly Chevy vs. Ford type thing going on. He was real interested when I told him about your truck tonight.

Sounds good. I don't have anything planned other than putting on my dropped spindles,

. Shoot me an email to robhartley@aol.com and I'll send you my phone #.

Looking good Rob!!!...I love the family pic with the SC 68!!

*Dylan · 10-21-2009, 09:40 PM

Cool, sent you and e-mail!

sourkraut · 10-22-2009, 07:24 AM

Great pics Rob, I cant believe it is that time of year already!

dakman · 10-24-2009, 09:05 PM

what size are youre hoosiers... actually front and rear sizes would be great. Mine are 31's and I was thinking they looked a bit too tall so I figured I may try 29's after they wear out.

The rears are 29 x 15.5 x 15 (15 x 12 wheel with 6" backspacing). The fronts are 225 75 15's (15 x 5 wheel).

I picked up this nice AM/FM radio but I'm not sure if I want to put it in this truck or the Burb (or the CrewCab,

).....

Decisions, decisions, decisions..... would you even be able to hear this in the 68 S/C ?

bigguy69 · 10-29-2009, 04:51 PM

wheres the burnout video?did i miss it

*Dylan · 10-29-2009, 05:07 PM

I wasn't able to get over there this weekend to tape it for him and he was putting spindles on the truck so it was out of commission as well.

**seafoam68** · 10-29-2009, 09:17 PM

Hart Rod, I may be partial because I have a '68, but there is something 'bout your truck that really does it for me - I love it ! Maybe it is the stock look, but with the power to run ? I really believe the 67-68's were a work of art from the factory, with little changes needed to have a great truck.

Thanks Seafoam, I agree the 67/68 look is really hard to beat. Check out the new "stance", now it looks like a hotrod again......

. Here's a picture of my "custom" cupholder that I added to my buddy buckets.

bad68bowtie · 11-02-2009, 12:54 AM

This things is really badass, man. After watching the thread on this for the past few months I really think I'll go a similar direction when I get to redoing my '68 when I get done with school (whenever that day finally comes

.)

I was wondering, what are the exact specs on the drop now?

msgross · 11-02-2009, 09:16 AM

nice, You know that you have a box of REO Speedwagon cassettes in the closet, perfect for those aviator shades on the seat!

**Palf70Step** · 11-02-2009, 09:27 AM

I am just drooling too much to say anything intelligent!

It looks great Rob. I'll have to try and squeeze a P'Cola trip in someday between soccer world.

brad_man_72 · 11-03-2009, 12:29 AM

I picked the cupholder up at a boat place when I was getting the marine fuel filler for the rear. It worked perfect and only $13!
