Re: 68 project

The tailgate needs a little more work than I expected but it will be a survivor, sand blasting tends to open up things that could nt be seen before

Hopefully in about three weeks the bed will be completed and ready to bolt down permanently but there is still a good bit of work it is the small things you tend to forget that slow you down, I will have to get my fuel lines and brake lines bent and mounted before reinstalling any of the body. I will be removing the cab here before long so I can finish up the body work on it and get it painted and ready for permanent install.

Re: 68 project

Yeah I had 20 hours body work on the inside and outside of my tailgate. Wish I would have bought a new one. But not now. All original.

Looking good man. Love the wood floor.

Re: 68 project

Thanks Robert, yes, filler will be inside the bed. Won't be too long and you will be able to visually see it.

Re: 68 project

No way. Seems like that would have been something they would have seen coming when you ordered them. That's crazy. Seen a guy on Facebook Saturday that's local that does like old school stuff. "Dish did it" He did some stuff on that guys 72 that stopped by on Saturday. Looked pretty good.

I know right, oh well though at least I feel good they refunded my payment. What kind of stuff does this guy do ? Make stencils ? I really want it painted on and not a vinyl sticker.

Re: 68 project

Dish used to do a lot of cars at Bowman Gray. I see his truck time 2 time. I think he does both vinyl and painted. I would think just about any local sign shop could make any stencil you would need. Glad to see parts showing up. Keep on keeping.

I was looking at the efi tank and whew !! 750 was out there but yes a work of art it is, the guys at the cabinet shop were even amazed at the quality of the tank and the welds that were on it, simply amazing.

Yes, I just need the stencil as I am doing my own paint and bodywork and will be spraying them on myself then clearing over. My clear coat should be here the end of this week

Just put the same tank in my 68! Great quality. I took the rear Xmember out and put the tank between the frame rails. Took three Hex couplings (3/8) and cut them in half. Drilled holes in the tank flanges and marked the locations on the frame. Welded the hex couplings in place and bolted the tank in. Raised the tank up about 1.25"; was worried that the tank might show too much because I have no bumper.
Then welded up a new Xmember that can be unbolted so I can remove the tank when I get the frame powder coated.

That's cool may raise mine up some also, I am running a rear bumper but want it as high as possible anyways. I will also fab my own cross member. Thanks for sharing with us
