looking pretty good bro! i like the stance. when i have the time or money, i'm putting my 3/4 drop in and if it doesnt sit low enough in the back, i'll put a .75' or inch drop block in. but looks good so far:metal:

Iordered the tri bar headlights off the internet and i cant seem to find the website anymore but ill look for it more and figure it out. for ya

There is a place in oklahoma City that sells every decal you and think of. You can call this number and request a Catalog 1-800-354-4040

EA69TRK 03-18-2010 09:30 PM

Re: My 68 c10
 
whats a matter with the bed you're getting rid of? Ive been looking for a fleetside for my stepper for about a 9months now but everyone i come across they dont want to sell just the bed but the whole truck even though the only decent thing is the bed. I was considering cutting down a long fleet but I never liked the idea of cutting one up since I just love the looks of these trucks long or short.

the old bed was really beat up and needed alot of work it was insane.
but this bed was in great shape their are no major dents what so ever needs very little bondo.
the rear has a two in drop
front their is no springs so it sitting on the bump stops lol.

oldblue1968chevy 03-20-2010 07:51 PM

Re: My 68 c10
 
wow that looks more than 2 inches!!!! blocks or springs?
