I promised some more pictures of my truck and here they are. Still a big work in progress but I still dig it.

Is the seat cover an off the shelf item or did a shop make it? It looks really nice!

Thanks. They are Cragar Soft 8 wheels, 17x8, 5 lug. They are pretty cheap, and come in almost any size and lug pattern imaginable. The caps are 88-98 truck caps. There are also some pretty cool caps from the Astro vans that will fit, or you can get caps from a 4wd if you have a 6 lugger!

Thanks! I've got a 71 swb with 5 lugs. I think those would look great on it! I appreciate the response...

Saw this 56 yesterday, was just bought in Saskatoon Sk. Canada last weekend and brought home to sit beside his real nice (under the tarp) 69 GM 2wd.

Lex, looks like real patina to me...
Well worth preserving by the new owner by sealing it now to save the sheet metal below.
Very nice!

I saw this awesome 67 big window today and stopped to take some pictures of it. No one was around otherwise I would have asked some questions.

tmc1986 · 05-18-2013, 01:27 PM

im digging that truck. i like the logo. too bad the owner wasnt around.

jb1016 · 05-18-2013, 11:29 PM

Not feeling the mirrors, but otherwise that's a sweet truck.

I had those mirrors on Nasty. Absolutely hated them. Couldn't see a darn thing. Were there just to keep the fuzz happy.

My truck came with mirrors like that also off a 1971 camaro / firebird. It was one of the first things I removed. Doesn't suit the classic truck look at all.

The name & phone number on the door are for a real used car dealership in the area. Below is a link to their website. It's not listed for sale however.

Matt, thanks for posting pics of that truck. Before today and some research, I had no idea that a big window was a "panoramic" option in '67. I wonder how much money has been lost because someone "knew" this was a '68 but failed to see the absence of the side markers.
Good eye.
Sid

68GMCburban · 05-25-2013, 04:02 PM

Alright, I know some of you guys liked this truck, so I figured I'd show you the finished product.
