pillclinton209 · 01-28-2011, 04:07 AM

Hey new to board been toying with this truck after selling a 72 truck and my 72 blazer that I regret so this is my first 68 its a long ways away but been having progress...

pillclinton209 · 01-28-2011, 04:08 AM

love my wheels....

pillclinton209 · 01-28-2011, 04:09 AM

some of the air ride and notch stuff building or need to buy a watts link.

pillclinton209 · 01-28-2011, 04:12 AM

And best of all og stock never touched never re upholstered or molseted cab inside og paint no cuts zero rust only 90k miles on cab was in a barn for 20 years....horn even works! not even gonna do anything to inside I dont think but get new carpet...

matthew20061 · 01-28-2011, 04:26 AM

That looks like an awesome project! What are you planning on doing with the exterior leaving it patined or doing a repaint? I really like how the interior is untouched with the mint original inside and the complete custom suspension and drop!

pillclinton209 · 01-28-2011, 01:41 PM

Hey Mathew I am thinking of doin a champagne gold metallic satin paint. I just got the fender and grill back slapped it on last night now its looking like a truck again.....All the body work for front clipis done. Taking it in pieces to my body guy to do a lil at a time plus no overspray on everything got excited to see the 22 in the wheel well.

cool project. love the original interior!

nastyc10 · 01-28-2011, 03:26 PM

Sweet project dude. That interior is awesome!

tubbedII · 01-28-2011, 04:12 PM

Looks great! I have the same wheels, but in the 5 lug/spoke pattern. On the front, is that just bags and cups aired out? I only was able to mock the bag in place last week and jack the tire up and it looks like about where it stopped for me...

pillclinton209 · 01-28-2011, 04:22 PM

Thanks guys and for the cl ad I spoke with him before ..... I am thinking buying repop sides my floor is already cut for my notch are.. Are the repops garbage they are pricey.

SBC · 01-28-2011, 06:23 PM

i ended just buying repops on mine. they seem to be just fine and it was much easier to just bolt up some repops rather then wait around for a good deal on originals that would need work...

pillclinton209 · 01-28-2011, 06:51 PM

SBC how much were they and who did you get them from? I am hoping to find something at the Turlock swap meet tomorrow...

Jacfourteen · 01-28-2011, 07:41 PM

Looks like a cool project, I'll be watching for progress for sure!

**N2TRUX** · 01-28-2011, 09:27 PM

pillclinton209 · 01-29-2011, 01:36 AM

Royo those headers are off of a newer 454 engine I put carriage style bolts and weleded in inside and out where the smog sesors or whatever tubes smog **** was tied into them... they are super tight and dump where I NEEDED THEM PLUS THEY WERE FREE !! besides a hour or 2 of grinding then vht engine paint I actually like the look...
