1968 GMC New Project
My son and I went this morning and picked up this 68 GMC for his first truck. Plans are to convert it to a swb and a few other upgrades. I don't think we did too bad for $1800.

It's funny where a truck can end up. Who would have thought we would find a Cali truck in Northeast MS. Only rust I have found is a small amount in the pass. outer rocker. Still even had the original glovebox liner in it.

Re: 1968 GMC New Project
Great buy!

I would just cut down the original bed and blend the paint on the bed sides. Keep that original paint.

Would love to own that truck.
