Well after 2 years of restoration - She came home again...
The first pictures is when I brought it home from S.Carolina.
The second is home from paint yesterday (went w/original color Med Blue Poly/White).
Now final assembly.

kcfirstbuild · 04-03-2010, 08:50 AM

Would you happen to have any more pictures ? My 68 Lwb is also the same color scheme med blue and white. I have been searching this site for a while to see what a nice fresh paint job would look like.

rsavage · 04-03-2010, 08:51 AM

Thanks for the second Picture, it gives a little extra push to get mine done! Your truck looks great ! Two years and Mine should look just like that !

I'm digging the "no pedal" gas pedal... I too run one... it gives me a bit more leg room..I had a pedal.. but removed it because my DAD suggested it... (long time 68 owner) he was so right. just removing the pedal, made a huge difference.
I get alot of " nice gas pedal" comments, but I tell them, "once you drive it, you will understand" & they all say... O.. it's one of them.... I always reply... yep its all about how she drives...

All in all... you are looking good man.. keep up the passion an you will enjoy it for many years to come!
