MY Newest Addition, '68 SWB Fleetside Bowtie

[jkaylor68gmc]

O.K. so after regretingly selling my '68 to TRI-PRO. I searched and searched. Here is what I found. Once I get it home this afternoon, I am going to pull the Holley valve covers, intake and carb and replace them. It runs and drives just fine.

I plan on flat blacking it next week and lowering it.

Are you sure that wasn't the old LSU "War Wagon"?

Looks like a mighty fine truck to start with, she has a paint job that kinda resembles the later 73 up two tone trucks. Cb

Love the color scheme!

[cnshoot]

you sure you dont want to bring that truck down here to my house the neighbors would love the color

[jkaylor68gmc]

Yeah.

[jb4short]

Josh- I would definately START with the flat black....then fix the mechanical issues

Who masked those wheel arches for the two-tone?

I'm willing to help you turn a quick $300.00 profit

Good score man.

BTW - If you post that in the "hot Tennessee Trucks" thread, then I am qualified to post mine in there, even though I am 5 minutes across the border. Rules of qualification.

Just kidding man. Congrats - I know you have been wanting another.

why cant i find deals like that

[jkaylor68gmc]

I drove it around the farm last night for an hour, kid told me bad trans, I put 5quarts of fluid in it, messed around a little under the dash andhad working gauges, headlights, front marker lights, tailights, brake lights and a dome light. It all works, a little primer and I'll be on the road.

lucky ass

[jkaylor68gmc]

Not luck, just skill, heck can't beat it for a 1,000 bucks.

Running, driving swb CST '68 fleetside. I think its a deal.

Found 50th gold paint on the inside and out but they painted over the sticker@!

[HUEVUDO]

that kinda looks like my yellow

[n2billet]

Come on.......add some lace inside the purple.. throw on some 70's style wheels and stand out in the crowd!b

[jkaylor68gmc]

No, sorry ther N2Billet, can't do it.

[ColoradoK5]

Man heck of a deal! it pays off to take a chance on some of these old trucks. I agree get it out of drag! Good buy!

[jkaylor68gmc]

Thanks, someone agrees.

I plan on trying to get it in black next week. I really want to drive it to Goodguy's Charlotte.

[2bits]

That's an awesome truck for a grand! The front bumper looks new! That is cool the tranny was fine. You could do another shade of yellow just over the purple and it would look ok, but flat black is always cool too Excellent score! Silly paint beats rust any day of the week!

[jkaylor68gmc]

Yeah but as my avatar shows I already have one yellow vehicle.

[meathead95]

clean out your pm its full

[jkaylor68gmc]

O.k. send it again...

Just cleaned it out.

[powell72]

Nice truck for a good price. That paint sure doesn't do it any favors though. I'd have to flat black it also.
