My Truck
This was my Dad's truck he bought new May 11, 1968 (my birthday). He is gone now, but the truck will always be in the family. I just finished the restoration of the truck (nearly). It was still wearing it's original paint. The only rust was the rockers, where they connect with the floor. I am building an original looking big block to put in it soon.

Re: My Truck
I don't think that is factory air. Notice it has vents, but looks like a heater control rather than an A/C controller. I'm betting Vintage Air retrofit with the vents.

Re: My Truck
Beautiful truck! Glad to see another kept in the family. The only things I see that it needs is the grill area of the fenders painted white and a rear sport bumper.

Absolutely beautiful truck!!!!!! It also looks like a not to distant cousin to my '69.  What did the truck come with originally, engine wise? I'm also loving the interior, it's a color you normally don't see much of. I am fortunate to have the same color interior as your truck.

Re: My Truck
Very nice truck. It reminds me of one that my Dad use to own. These pics are from June 1969.(me & my sister) I wish the old truck was still around, but my Dad sold it back in the 70s and the new owner wrecked it.
