Hello from NW Washington - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jayman68 · 01-28-2010, 01:44 PM

Great forum here, lots going on. I am glad to join and be a part of the pack.

I chose my project as a 68 LWB Fleet, with plenty of modifications in the future.

I am married and have 3 boys, all teenagers. The youngest seems the most inclined to want to help on my projects.
I live about 1.5 hours north of Seattle. I will add pics of my project, when I figure it out.
I enjoy the forum, thanks
Jay

Welcome from down south.

jayman68 · 01-29-2010, 02:48 AM

I hope I figured out the picture thing.

jayman68 · 01-29-2010, 02:58 AM

OK the pictures are on there.

The first one is the truck as it sits now.
The second is a 400 SBC, I have a 700R4 trans to go behind it. I rebuilt the engine about 10 years ago, and it has just sat since. Doesn't look as pretty now as it did back when I finished it.
The final is a drawing that I did of what my plans are for the finished project.

Steve@OldSub.com · 01-29-2010, 03:05 AM

Welcome from another Washington newbie.

I've always liked the '67/'68 trucks with the simple grill and the way the front of the hood is laid-back. Nice project.

**oldiron** · 01-29-2010, 03:50 AM

Welcome from just south of you.
Check out the Washington state forum in the Regions sections for get togethers.

All that engine compartment needs is a little cleaning and should look great again. Welcome from Western Kentucky. The 400 is a great engine.

Yeah, hopefully I can get some time while I am not working to get going on the truck. I have been doing alot of planning and collecting, and now I am doing some itching to get it going.

Thanks for all the welcomes. Again this is a great forum.

Welcome to the board from Bothell/Kirkland. Check the Washington section for meet-ups. I believe there is a meet-up being scheduled at the spring swap meet in Monroe.

That thing will be sweet when done, welcome!

jayman68 · 02-27-2010, 01:56 AM

Thanks for all the welcome.

I hope to start a build thread fairly soon. I began tearing into the truck and found lots of rust in the rockers and cab corners:
