1968

I live on the west coast of Florida. I am building a 1968 chev swb steepside. I call her patches. I have already rebuilt the 350 4 bolt. I replaced a old tired in-line 6 banger. I had to go with over size pistons and bored .030 over. I will be using my stock th400 transmission 3 speed. with stock iron heads and a 4 barrel intake. Rear end will also be stock. The frame I will be using a 1967 frame without the helpers springs. I thought they looked out of place. My 68 frame was shot and I bought this 67 for $50.00 what a deal. The cab is a 1969 my 68 had too much cancer around the winshield. So I used all the parts I could and parted in good terms with the 68 cab. By now it being used to make new ones. I replaced the front sup. with sup from a 1972 with 5 lugs and a disk brake system. Also replaced the rear end with the 1972 rear end with a 5 lug system. replaced the last cross member for the brake line in front of the gas tank and behind the gas tank.
