got a 68 front clip and a bench for $75! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

everythings good shape, center grille is dinged up alot but i got another one to go in its place, fenders have rust in bottom front corners and a couple dents above at the front, should be able to repair em.

too bad i had to drive 5 hours to landcaster and back to pick it up in my 72 with NO air conditioning. its fine driving with no a/c but when you hit traffic in los angeles when its practically 85degrees on the freeway its gets a bit sweaty

Hey dropped, was that the guy in the recyler with 661 area code, selling an 8 ft bed and a cab too? If so, did you check out the cab?

dropped72shortbed · 04-24-2002, 07:32 PM

yea he was out of 661, lancaster.

i actually sat inside the cab to feel out the bench seat i got from him, as for the condition of the cab and bed i didnt really pay enough attention to it. just ask him hell give you a straight anwer, when i arrived the front clip was exactly as described. his name is bill and he was very friendly, took the whole clip off for me the night before and helped me load it.

very nice guy.

Nah, not yet, right now I'm just an amateur pinstriper and I like doing flame layouts, I'm hopin to have a new spray gun this summer. If you are lookin for a painter, I can recommend my friend. He owns Merzees in Santa Fe Springs. He's done some work for the owner of Intro Wheels, and has gotten some camera time with Truckin magazine.
