The "I'm back" build thread. Long bed this time
Well, I'm back. After a short hiatus from the classic truck scene I've come to my senses and to terms with who I am so I bought another truck. With the addition of the truck we are closing the deal next week, fingers crossed, on our first house. We wanted a truck to move so I was open to a long bed

Re: The "I'm back" build thread. Long bed this time
Looking good..! why not chop your own frame and box.?
I loved your '68 with the steelies and I'm going for a similar drop and wheels. I figure I'm going to chop mine myself and might just keep the cab on and just do a diagonal frame chop behind the cab, quick and easy.

Re: The "I'm back" build thread. Long bed this time
Looking good Shawn! I picked up a 68 LWB while you were out. We moved 8 months ago and I've used the truck to haul anything/everything and it's become my daily driver. It rides smooooth, not to mention speed bumps, curbs, and pot holes no longer exist in my world
