Graduation Gift to the Extreme.
So after I had gotten out of school I went out of town for 2 weeks. I got back in town today and my parents had an elaborate setup to get me to come to the shop. Unbeknownst to me, while I was gone my mom and dad went out and bought another 68 shortbed fleetside from a friend who's husband had passed and couldn't complete the build. It's rough around the edges, needs some work but it's a pretty solid little truck. 350/350 with air ride. I know this thread is worthless without pics, I'm workin on that.

Re: Graduation Gift to the Extreme.

Re: Graduation Gift to the Extreme.
Awesome man, all I got for grad was the " maybe its time for you to move out" speech. Just kidding, I got kicked out way before graduation! Seriously though, that's a nice lookin truck.

Re: Graduation Gift to the Extreme.
Great looking truck. I wouldn't change anything with the style. Love the clean and tucked look.
