my 68 short step - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

rmmurphy · 07-19-2016, 06:21 PM

I've been around this site for about 3 years. That's when I bought the 68. I drove it for about a year, let it sit for about the last 18 months. It's time to get started getting it back in shape. I'm not looking to build a show truck, just a clean daily driver. It needs a ton of work. I know I'm going to have a lot of questions about a lot of things. thanks in advance.

Nice start!

Thanks, It needs a ton of sheet metal work. Floor,cab corners, new grill and fenders. I have everything I need to convert it to power brakes. It's too hot right now.Summer is brutal in South Carolina.

Another one being saved, that is great. remember it is a marathon and not a sprint.
Looks like it is all there and pretty straight!

the bed is straight. you can't tell from the pic, the left fender is wrinkled. both doors are rusted. the right fender is rusted pretty bad too. the po did all the spray bomb primer. Along with some other screwed up stuff. It's going to take some time to get it the way i want it.
