68 Farm Truck Build
I got this truck from my wife’s grandfather. He is the original owner of the truck and has all of the original paperwork and manuals. He sold his farm and this was the truck he used to chase the cattle around with. 55k original miles running around a cattle farm for 40 years. I was given the truck with the stipulation that I would never sell it and his great-grandson would some day get the truck. Pictures to follow as soon as I can figure out how to get them posted.
here is a link to the gallery where there are progress pictures http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/...=65104&cat=500 Last edited by bugmasta; 08-16-2009 at 07:04 PM. |

Re: 68 Farm Truck Build
Awesome truck! I think it adds to the motivation to get things done and to do them right when there is history involved. Keep up the good work.
