I picked up a rare one, 68 K/20 panel - Page 4 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Joesjunk** · 11-19-2017, 05:48 PM

Well it's all done, except for some little detailing and probably a new windshield. The seats were both torn so I bought some NOS material and had the seats redone.

**Joesjunk** · 11-19-2017, 05:51 PM

It polished up really good.

68panelman · 11-19-2017, 05:53 PM

Looks amazing Joe, great job in and out. Any plans for the wood floor?

**Joesjunk** · 11-19-2017, 05:54 PM

Few more

**Joesjunk** · 11-19-2017, 05:57 PM

THe floors are very nice

**Joesjunk** · 11-19-2017, 05:59 PM

It still has the oil bath air cleaner, and a chalk mark on the head. Has all the original hoses to

I'm not doing anything to the wood floor. It's really pretty nice.

vectorit · 11-19-2017, 06:04 PM

I love it! Such a cool time capsule.

darkhorse970 · 11-19-2017, 06:17 PM

Awesome ride, i love it!

**jimer1964** · 11-19-2017, 06:42 PM

Joe, Another nice one to add to your amazing collection!

CG · 11-19-2017, 06:46 PM

Wow, super cool! So is this a keeper, or are you going to move it down the road?

I'm going to move it down the road. I was able to save it, bring it back to to life, and hope to pass it on to someone that will appreciate it.

CG · 11-19-2017, 07:13 PM

Should be an easy sale. I hope whoever gets it keeps is as is.

Wow! That is turning out really nice, where did you get your nos material for the seats? And I was wondering if the floor mat you used was for a p/u with no coverage between the seats like a blazer needs.

**too much stuff** · 11-19-2017, 10:10 PM

Nice job! turned out great. I would be tempted to keep it myself...

Chulisohombre · 11-19-2017, 10:57 PM

That looks awesome. I always loved the panel trucks. Started fir me when watching gravedigger doing jumps and racing when I was a kid.

That turned out great! I'd have a bit of difficulty cutting that one loose from the stable, too!

**HO455** · 11-19-2017, 11:42 PM

I am truly envious! That panel looks as if it is only ten years old.

The seat material came from Original Auto Interior. The rubber mat is original, and it's in near perfect condition. I just cleaned it.

**3757chevy** · 11-20-2017, 12:20 AM

Thanks. Looks good.

**cericd** · 11-20-2017, 12:39 AM

Joe, that sure is a looker!

I noticed you painted the wheels yourself. Do you have any recommendations on that process? Like what type of blasting media, primer & paint process gives the best results?

Nothing special really, they were blasted, primed and painted with single stage paint. My good friend that's a painter told me what kind of paint to get.

jhama78 · 11-20-2017, 12:40 PM

Great truck, Love what you 'havent' done to it. Thanks for keeping it a time capsule!

**Dustmaker65** · 11-20-2017, 02:51 PM

Not much time reading the forum lately.... This truck is beautiful! And it's ORANGE to boot! Can not believe you are going to let loose of it

Great job as always Joe!
