Re: my 68 shortbed build

Re: my 68 shortbed build

Looks GR8 so far! You said about your high school shop how old ar ya. The reason I was wondering is that my 14 year old nephew is building a 68 short fleet as you may have read in some of my posts/threads about his truck. I wanted to let him know, to give him some insparation for his build. I think it's awesome that you young guys are into these old trucks and also show some very fine skills to say the least. Nice job keep up the GR8 work and keep us posted like you have been I'll be watching for sure. RJ22
BTW make it as low as you want but I think your truck would really turn some heads with a young guy driving it being as low as alot of these import tuner machines. I would be sure to park right beside them and watch em' get pi$$ed off when no one pays attention to their car. lol

Re: my 68 shortbed build

sandblast the inside of the bed. You can take the bed apart and take it to the blasters in pieces.

Re: my 68 shortbed build

This is fun to watch! If the first pic is before and the fourth pick is after you did a GREAT job under the hood. The paint under mine is drying- same deal, sand like crazy and then semi-gloss black.
How are you going to finish the console?
Keep up with the pics please!
Good on ya!
