68 lwb Patina Hot rod
Here's some more before and after pics of my Truck ! Patina rules
 From barn fresh to Hot Rod !!! My motto get the wheels and build the truck to fit them!! Notice from pics that the rear wheels move from forward in the wheel wells to centered. It was a lot of work and a pricey one piece driveshaft that most people wouldn't notice but i like it alot better!!!

Re: 68 lwb Patina Hot rod
How far did you have to move the rear axle to align it in the wheel well? I noticed my swb stepside looks like the wheel is not centered. Must have been a design flaw!
BTW....Fixing the front of your box is very esay with a "come-along" and a custom "u" bracket...you can borrow mine...5 minute job...LOL! What did you use for paint on your passenger side fender for the touch-up?
