Finally!!! I got the 1 ton done!! (pic's) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Joesjunk** · 11-28-2004, 11:00 PM

Well after several years I finally got my truck done. Sorry for the dark pics, but I couldn't wait to get a pic of it before dark. Most of you have seen this truck before, but it is a 1968 1 ton dually. It was a Camper with a hole cut in the back of the cab. I will try to get better pics soon, but they are calling for snow and rain tonight and tomorrow.

That thig is pretty awsome.
I remember seeing pics of it a year ago or so, what was not done on it? I remember it looking done then.

*Randy70C-10* · 11-28-2004, 11:08 PM

I've seen some awesome trucks on here, but that's by far my favorite. Nice job!!

lngbed71 · 11-28-2004, 11:08 PM

Nothing like sweat equity. A very fine 1 ton!! The mud flaps say it all

68gmcdually · 11-28-2004, 11:09 PM

That picture gives me hope that my '68 one ton will be complete one day. It looks great.

**guyryan100** · 11-28-2004, 11:10 PM

The only thing that wasn't done was the bed. The rest of the truck has been done for a few years.

Thanks guys!!! I am so happy it is done. There has just been so much going on I haven't taken the time to just sit down and finish it. Now I can't wait to go for a drive!!!! It has been driven only 62 miles in the last 3 years!!!! Now I need to total up all my reciepts and see how much money I spent on it

teamharvey · 11-28-2004, 11:19 PM

Congrats !, very nice looking truck......you must have a great sense of accomplishment.

man...you probably don't want to do that.
if you DO decide to do it, then you may want to not let the wife see the total number.

I bought these mud flaps of ebay about 3 years ago. The were NOS in a box. I have the part # somewhere, but I haven't been able to find any more of them. I would buy a couple more sets if someone could find them.

David, did you say Firewood??? You mean actually use this thing???? Hummm..I was thinking more like NOT using it and letting it sit in the garage!!!
