Nice work. did you spray that? I'm thinking of doing the Al's liner on mine.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Much cleaner so you can haul more groceries;). What type of liner is that?

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

That turned out nice Rob!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

WHAT?!?!! No patina!!!:lol:

Bed liner looks great!!!.....should quiet down any road noise!:D

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

It's "SpeedyLiner". My buddy Todd sprayed it.

:lol:, the extra weight might help with traction, ;). (speedyliner)

Thanks!

:devil:

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

If you go with rallies you can always get a custom set made that is wider than the 8" ones. Truck is looking wicked by the way, I really want to come out there and see it.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

looking good!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Wheel Vintiques already makes them in 15x10's (hint, hint)

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Looking good! Like the liner.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Part of me want to say those were wider than 15 x 10 from the size of those tubs. Do they make anything bigger? :metal:

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Rob you are the man.....we are going to have to meet someday really soon.....maybe an event in orlando's old town?

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

You guys could meet halfway... ;) (hinting towards Tallahassee)

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I am lovin this truck!

Can you tell me what these clamps are called? I've been trying to find some and have no idea what they're called or where to get them.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I got mine at harbor freight

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Frenchblue, did I ask you about them before? I know I asked one of the board members, but I couldn't find them at harbor freight online. Guess I'll have to go to the store.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I think that we should all go to the Turkey Rod Run in Daytona !!!!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

When is it?

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

They're called body panel clamps. Get them at harbor freight.

Thanks.

Mine are 15 x 12. I could go 15 wide if I wanted to....

I'll probably pull the 68 down to Sebring for Christmas when we're visiting family....

Definitely the cheapest place to buy them.

I'll probably go to Moultrie this year.

The week of Thanksgiving.

Here's some more pictures. I cleaned the chassis up a little before I put the bed back on. I also took a couple of shots of the cab corners, I can't believe how pristine they are....:metal:.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Those do look clean! Are you taking the 68 to Moultrie? Me and my dad go there every time they do the swap meet, just not sure when it's going on this year. If so, I'll probably end up seeing you up there.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Rob, great job!! I love the bed liner! So it is hooking up better now with the 3.73's and posi? I was really just checking in to see what wheels you have on there now. I know how you and Albert are!!! :lol::lol: Seriously, the truck is looking awesome brotha!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

bed looks great matches the interior:lol:

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Love your truck! What's the back spacing on your Weld's? You have done a fantasic job of redoing po's mods. Your truck makes me think, someday. If I'm lucky.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Definitely plan on going to Moultrie and the 68 will be coming with me, :).

Thanks! I don't know about hooking up better, but it's definitely more fun...

Thanks Jason. How's the tranny install going?

Thanks, I have a great platform to work with. The rears are 15 x 12 with a 6" backspacing.

Due to the lowering the rear and the installation of the new tank, I was having a few exhaust clearance issues. I took it to my muffler man today and he took care of the problem. I also had him add some nice stainless tips, :metal:. Here's a couple more pictures.....

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

The bed floor patch looks great Rob, how much of a gap between the panels did you have for your welds? I got a long bed floor that I am going to cut down and weld together for my someday crew cab short bed. Keep up the good progress, still waiting to see that sweet Burb done so we can see the ending to that CREW CAB! :metal: Trevor

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Thanks Trevor. I used a 1/8" cutoff wheel to make my gaps. Hopefully the Burb will be back in the shop by the end of the month. If me and the painter can get our schedules lined up, it should only take about a week to finish up the paint, :uhmk:. And then on to the Crew, :metal:.

R/

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Rob, when you start back on the Crew, can you take some pics of your floor where the cabs were mated, and of the pillars between the doors? Thanks bud, Trevor

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Will do. Send me your email addy and I'll send some of the ones I have. The floor is pretty simple, they just bent a piece of metal 35" wide to match the contour of the floor. The roof is a little more complicated but not to bad. The doors will be the fun part (look at the build Rokcrwln did). Do you plan on using a suburban for the majority of the truck? I would highly recommend that you do that, 70% of the hard stuff is already done....

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Truck is coming out terrific......Hint hint "Do you want a harley?"

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Thanks for the offer, but I think I'll keep this one for a while, :D.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I forgot to post some pictures of the exhaust tips. Here are a couple...

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I like the way they look, subtle but still noticeable!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Lookin' good Rob!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I like the plate :D

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

X2..... now where is the video of you launching the truck?? :lol:

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

That is exactly how I want mine to be. Looks great!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

exhaust looks good but lets hear it

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

x2

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Nice Rob! I got to get started on Goldie!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

that exhaust looks great. I've tried three times to get shops to place the tips like that and they FAIL every time. I'll take your pic next time :chevy:

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Perfect placement! Gotta give the muffler guy credit!
