Before and "in progress" shots of my 68 truck
Hey guys when i got this truck it didnt start and the rearend needed some work, but now it runs great and i put new brakes in the back and is turning into a nice work truck, also painted the rims put on hubcaps and spray painted the grille and bumper. Tell me what you think.
thanks John

thanks guys
Well it is an old farm truck, it definitely needs work, but it looks good from about 10 feet, but has the typical rust, the guy who had it before me was just fed up with it, he couldnt get it to run right and the brakes in the back were giving him fits, so i bought it. Cleaned the points, pumped out the old gas, and the reason it didnt want to start was because the didnt have the manual choke setup. So i hooked that up, and it just purred like a kitten. Also the spray paint is just some metallic/chrome spray paint i had laying around, so i shot it on there turned out pretty well. Also one of the reason the brakes were scary in the back was because they didnt even have a drum on the one side! WOW talk about scary. So got new brake pads and got a drum and now the rear brakes are good, time to tackle the front. thanks John |

Good project truck. I enjoy looking at the background with no snow and appreciating what a great "non-winter" we have had here in Iowa.

I wish you were closer too, anybody close to Iowa that needs a good work truck, it definitely has potential.
