Nice.
It just needs correct side markers. Why did they paint the inside of the hood black??? One glaring mistake on an otherwise nice restoration.

The underside of the hood is probably correct. Two of my trucks are black under the hood and have never been repainted or molested.

OMG! The only thing better than that would be a 67 small window stepside with dog dish hubcaps in the same original condition!.

Would have looked better with an original radio IMO, very nice truck and color. And btw undersides of hoods did come in black also but not the way they did it, it looks just wrong.

thanks wes. Do those radios have outputs for a cd changer. I was thinking of running one of that style and putting a cd changer in the glove box.

This is NOT to berate the truck or knitpick as she's a beauty and I think the description is honest. Couple of other things I noticed:
1. Bowtie emblems on hubcaps and fenders look gold/yellow (could be my monitor). Supposed to be red. 2. Wrong hazard switch 3. Backup lenses are incorrect. I think the 67/68 ones have a circular pattern to them. 4. Brake lines look like I bent them  5. Inner door panels look too padded. The originals are stiched but not with that much padding underneath. Please do not label me with the "Corvette snob" crap, or the "Ya and the upper left rear lugnut is not correct..." response crap. I love this truck and the effort and attention it shows. Just passing along some observations and a little knowledge transfer.

Great looking truck. That is exactly how mine looked when I bought mine. Same colors and all. That is before I completely carved it all up.
Another thing wrong: It's a 67 gauge cluster in a 68 truck.

Yeah, my 68 has three knobs. The choke of course is just for looks now. Don't quite need that for fuel injection.
69-72 have only two knobs.

Useless facts? See me
Not sure why Injected68LS1 thinks it's a 67 only unless I'm missing something.
All 67/68 clusters provisions for 3 knobs standard from factory. These were Wipers (LH), lights (LH), and Choke (RH). All 67/68 trucks had manual chokes except 327's (67/68) and 396 (68). For these trucks, their was a special choke delete plate installed (yes I have one and it's cool, sorry no pic, can do so if ya really want to see it). In 69, all carbs were auto divorced chokes so the cluster was redesigned for 2 knobs, Lights (lh), wipers (rh). The idiot light dash was available all years as was the guage style dash. Speed warning speedos were no longer available after 69. Some claim the blank hole on the guage style clusters could be factory filled with vacuum or air pressure guages. I've not see proof of this in light duty trucks. The same bezel/cluster was used in big trucks and these did utilize this empty hole for these type of guages. BTW, the big rigs are a great source for speed warnings and tachs. The bezel on the big trucks does not have as steep a cut out for the column to pass thru, otherwise they are the same. I think the circuit board is different because of different warning lights. But you can yank out the tach or pressue guage and make it work with minimal effort. Other holes were drilled based on options. 2 notable ones are the handle throttle and the roof a/c on burbs. If you turn any OE bezel over you will see outlines for where to drill on them. 67/68 are the only years that used the "brushed" steel look on the bezel/gauge opening edges. In 69, they all took on the "chrome" look. GMC's had the added bonus of color-keyed bezels. I have seen blue, red, green, and tan as well as black GMC bezels. Jewels., does this help?
