Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside

Awesome truck Chuck, you did a great job. I bought a 68 GMC LWB fleetside a couple weeks ago and it's mostly original and it's the same blue. I've scrolled through all 108 pages of your build - I'm just finishing up a 64 Chevy C10 with my dad so I remember all the stages and the struggles and wins with these projects.

I don't have the time or money to do a restomod, so I'll probably just repair the rust, give it a decent paint job, and make a few upgrades over time and drive it for awhile since it's only got 34,000 miles on it and runs great. Besides, I don't know if I can take not being able to drive it for years!

P.S. - my uncle restores and customizes VW's (mostly pre-1967) here in Grand Junction. I've seen a lot of VW's come out of his shop with the same wheels you have on your bug.
