Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
I vote trim too. I prefer that trim to none, or even the 69-72 trim. MAN!!!! I wish I would have bought a '68! Maybe in the future (shhhh...... don't tell my wife I said that)

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Wheels look good, so I guess your not going to send them down to me!!!! The satin black idea would be cool, I saw a 71/72 on eBay a while back that was satin black with a satin clear coat on. That's what my buddy cleared my valve covers and air cleaner with a satin clear coat. I'm thinking of doing my original metal door panels also.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Looking good Keith. Definitely run the trim.
When you polished your billet wheels did you use mothers and a microfiber towel? Powerball? Or anything else?

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Mothers Billet (says Billet on the can) polish and a microfiber towel works really well .. it got the tape residue off, no problem. The power cone is a very nice tool for the nooks and crannys.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Holy crap, the body lines and gaps are amazing. I would go nuts even attempting what u did to get them that smooth. You make me want to find trim for my truck... It makes the wheels pop with the black!

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Digging the gas tank and of course these trucks demand the trim. I like a slick side stepper but the fleets need trim IMHO. Wheels cleaned right

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Even though you've already decided....another vote for the trim. The only real reason I don't like my step side is trim was not an option.
Wheels look great as well.

Thanks Mike, have to make up a spacer to put under the tank so the it sits level with the notch. I have the tank drilled out so it's almost ready to mount permanently. I just bought some new side trim and tailgate trim from board member Rocketking, now all I need is the front hood/fender trim.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Keith it is looking awesome. I just saw the trim and it does compliment the wheels perfectly. I can't wait to see it when you get the new bedsides.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Also, today I received my new Mar K side trim along with new tailgate trim from board member RocketKing. The new trim looks amazing, very high quality reproduction.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Sounds like you will have your bed pretty soon. Bummer on the tailgate. Good luck finding a nice one. I gave up and straightened mine. I would love to find a nice takeoff.
I the trim! Congrats ![]() |

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Not original, but supposedly the quality in these are supposed to be excellent and the metal very thick. http://www.autometaldirect.com/body-...43_80_155.html
