SweetandLong68 · 01-17-2003, 06:47 AM

I bought this truck from Big O just a few weeks ago.

I havent been able to do much as of yet. But only having it for two weeks I dont feel bad

. I have been working on getting it legal to drive on the streets of NC. Turn signals, brake lights, horn, etc etc.

Anyways on to the pics

thanks all
CHRIS

Nice solid 68. What color is the body? It's fairly unusual for a 68.

The body was stock two tone. Blue lower and white upper. You can still see where it was white on the cab because it still is. But the lower portion of the truck is just good ole primer. Nothing special but keeps the surface rust to a min. Not sure what I am going to do with paint if i do anything

hehe

thanks again

That horse trailer looks as if it might be a 50th Anniversary Model.
Maybe you ought to check the data plate.

That 68 looks like a nice truck with a lot of potentiial.

That looks almost identically to mine,same wheels and all, cept mine has the surface rust option. My orig color was red and white 2 tone

Hehe

Mine definetly came with the surface rust option. But it only takes a little primer to help stop all that.

Thanks for the responses!

I appreciate the good words my friend.

The horse trailer belongs to my landlord. So it may or may not be one of those 50th anniversary models.

thanks
