Somewhat new to the board - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Red68 · 07-12-2003, 04:23 PM

Somewhat new to the board, I have been reading the posts for about a month now, you guys are great help for my project. I have posted a few questions, and responded to some, but overall just taking it all in. I can relate to a lot of things that are talked about here.

I attached a picture of my project truck, 68 C10 LWB with a stock 327, and 3 on the tree. I have lowered it 3 1/2” in the front and 4” in the rear. I have had the truck since 1986, it use to have a flat bed that I built, but I swapped it for a 71 bed last year. I am Currently struggling with a under the bed fuel tank install, thanks to the pictures and instructions I found on the board will help me solve my problem (the one with the filler located behind the rear marker light, Classic Heartbeat Truck Parts).

Thanks for all of the help so far.

Nice looking truck! Going to keep the Red when it's painted? I'm impressed! Only 9 posts,and you can attach pics! I must need to go to school...probably flunk out of that too! Keep us posted on the progress.

Yea, Keepin it red. Next step after the fuel tank install is bodywork and paint.

2 1/2" Drop spindles with 1" drop springs, and just 4" drop springs in the rear.

I was going to show you my 68 LWB earlier but forgot.

Here she is when I first got her.

If you had one of these on the front of your truck, nobody would be confusing it with a high school mascot!
