Short drive in the country. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have been working a deal on this truck for a couple of weeks. We finally got together and I went less than 20 miles to finalize the deal. 68 short wide, needs what they all need. Small block, automatic trans,, good driver. Yes, it has a 69 - 70 front clip. Now to decide what to do with it.

Knock it in the head Fred

Looks like a solid ride.

I think this one will escape the organ donor program. Wish it did not have that damn maroon door,

It has some really clean looking parts mainly the bed floor and the grille inner and outer.

Ive been watching this one on the c.l. and noticed today it was sold. Glad it went to a good home.

Nice little truck.

I would respray the door with flattened matching paint, reclip the front with 68 stuff, get a rear sportbumper, some slots and drive it.

.
this one looks to be a awesome platform too build from.it should fetch a shiney penny though.

The owner and his father had several sitting around in various stages of togetherness. May have to snoop around some more when I go pick it up,

Thanks. It has a few issues like they all do, but it is a short bed and they can always be sold if I decide to.

**specialtyretail** · 07-26-2015, 03:31 PM

I am not sold on that yellow BBQ sauce. It is Sweet Baby Rays Sweet Mustard. I do not like it but the wife does.
