Basic black 68 swb

Nothing too fancy I just want to build a clean,reliable,show it,drive it, fun little short bed.Plans are black with red int,sb,auto,tilt and figure it out as I go.Started with a nice truck picked up from a buddy who burned out on it,he had rust repair 99% done and a stack of parts.Cab is from a donor 72,feners are nice factory 67's,bed is also from a donor 67 so this is going to be a 67,68,72 and whatever other year parts i need.It will look like im moving fast here at the beginning but i'm just catching up on the build,started first week of oct. this year.had the frame powdercoated started from there..
