1968 GMC LWB Driver
I've been out of the game for a couple of years, but jumping back in. Last week I found a 1968 GMC 1/2 ton 1500 Custom. Many updates to come over the next few weeks. Leaf to coil spring is first up.

It had a commercial bed on it when I bought it, but the original bed is in great shape.

Re: 1968 GMC LWB Driver
Looks good. I see a choke delete, so must be a 327 or 396 truck?

Re: 1968 GMC LWB Driver
Is there t hard switching to a rear coil set up? Does everything bolt right in? If it has to be welded is it pretty obvious where it needs to be welded
