hey guys/gals. Middle of building my 68 short/fleet. Just came across a rust free a/c cab and doors already plastic bead blasted and primed. was going w/ the cheap interior build to begin with and now i found this a/c cab im thinking why not do all the options. already have a tach and the cab comes w/ fact tilt column. and a headliner. heres the thing. i wanted to go kinda plain on the outside ie: no mouldings or emblems, already have 5 slot steel rallys, sport bumpers. think the optioned interior would look out of place?? and what does everyone think about dark olive met/black combo interior? all steel in cab dark olive w/ black headliner, carpet, door panels, dash pad and black and chrome gauge bezel? im going crazy w/ ideas!! also has a BBC/TH400. Sorry for the long winded post but i need some help.

Thanks!! any pics of that combo would be great!

I wouldn't change that idea at all. that sounds awesome. I wish I had all the options in mine. I do however have the clean exterior, and I wouldn't change it for nothing. I've never liked crooked molding or a bunch of emblems telling us things we already know.

definitely leaving door handles and all panels stock. may fill gas filler hole. and possible the chevrolet hood lettering. thanks for the input

This is a really good idea. Upgraded interior with all the options. Leave the door handles and shave the rest. I did and you won't be disappointed. It'll look like a stocker and the paint will say "all show and no go" but with a big block, a built turbo 400 and a posi rear it'll be a heart attack.

Mine is, though the paint is a little too wild for a sleeper

Fitz, i really, really like your truck... first time i have seen that...

I like the plain exterior and optioned interior - here's mine.

Jacfourteen · 04-01-2010, 01:22 AM

That's my plan as well, clean/shaved outer and all the comforts inside. I love the look of the color matched gauge bezel on the copper truck. That just made up my mind on what to do with mine, right now mine is all silver and I think it needs to match the glovebox door alittle more.
