Been slowly making some progress on this truck. Purchased a $300 donor 83 long bed, had a running 350 with edelbrock carb and hooker headers, working th350 trans, and most important... disk brakes!

I removed the entire front suspension from the donor truck and bolted it to the 68 frame. It was really quite straight forward. I had to enlarge the 3 lower holes on each side of the frame for the larger 83 hardware, and drill 1 new hole for the upper forward most bolt. the 68 motor mounts also lined up with existing holes in the 83 cross member. Its almost meant to be!

Now i need to focus on the worst part of the whole project, rust repair!
