72Levi · 11-05-2007, 07:41 PM

Were you looking for a SWB truck? A 68 SWB Stepside or 69 SWB? Let me know there are a couple here in SA TX.

TEXASCHEVY · 11-05-2007, 11:47 PM

tx71smallblock · 11-06-2007, 03:20 PM

TEXASCHEVY · 11-06-2007, 04:18 PM

Well I think am going to have to trade this truck since its a 50th truck.....well I wanted to at lease bagg it and put big wheels but everyone would rather see it orginal.hahahah I guess u can't touch these truck lol

Longhorn Man · 11-07-2007, 06:18 AM

bag it
It's your rig...being a 50th doesn't make it Z11 chevelle rare.

BHRS · 11-07-2007, 08:19 AM

It's YOUR truck not anyone else's. Do what you want to it. If you want to cut it up to make a SWB-DO IT!!! Unless someone here is sponsoring your build-do it any way you want.

Here is a compromise: Do what you want to it, paint it the stock colors, then tell everyone it is a 50th built the way Chevy should have built it.

Bishops Trucks · 11-07-2007, 08:39 AM

Do what you want with it, it's yours. In my opinion, leave the paint and interior factory stock and do what ever your heart desires to the rest of it.

Shyguy · 11-07-2007, 08:51 AM

'71 Chevy trucks went to 5 lug wheels. Also it is the same year they went to disc brakes in the front.

My son is converting his wife's '69 to disc brakes and 5 lug bolt pattern without any problems using parts off of a '71 donor truck.

I Used A 72 Lwb Donor On My 68 Swb, All Brake Components, Rear End, Even Trans And Motor With No Problem. Body On Lwb Was Junk But Everything Else Worked Fine!

70rs/ss · 11-07-2007, 01:44 PM

Heck you can get 6-lug disc and then you don't have to convert the rear. In this day and age 6-lug is the norm, so lots and lots of 20", 22", 24" wheels are offered in 6 lug. Sweet truck drive it and do as you please, its your's!

TEXASCHEVY · 11-07-2007, 02:00 PM

am really not sure yet..i might just trade it for a short bed but dont know
