Thank you! Very nice, great job on the caps and wheels!

Re: K20/K30's only! Pics please :)
 

Very tastefully done. All around.

Re: K20/K30's only! Pics please :)
 

Thanks, it's been a slow process for sure, still have a ways to go.
The wheels and tires with the correct year clip style hub caps really worked out as planned, not sure how that happen because most plans go in the wrong direction but this one worked.
trying to keep it simple and not go to crazy.

James, that looks plain awesome! Did you have to put different doors on it, or? I have noticed parts of these trucks fade/weather worse than others and it has me curious why is why I asked. Was your truck a 6 cylinder truck? I just noticed the shifters. I'm sure the 4 peed shifter is hard to find. I'm guessing it is from a 71/2 cheyenne super truck? Or, you had these chromed? Those seats are dang nice too! I love it.

So on the different look. The 60-66 trucks GM used black primer on the bed and front clip and red primer on the cab. This 68 GM did the same, it has red primer on the cab and black primer on the bed and front clip, hence the different look.

GM used what was left from previous years until they ran out and with different assembly plants you never know what your going to get.

This truck has 67 arm rest but also had original maroon dash pad and visor that from what I've read was a 69 only year color for interior. It also has the later 69 and up heater control verses the black 67-68.

Some 67-68 trucks have a carry over fawn interior from the 60-66 trucks.


The truck still has the original 327 but the rest has been updated with later model SM465, NP205, D44 big hub with disc brakes and a D60 rear.

The buddy buckets where original red 68 seats, I had them redone with new foam and nos early chevy cloth for the insert. I wanted something different from hounds tooth.

That's good info. It is strange the things they would do to get parts off the shelves. They did weird stuff all the way up through the 72s as well. On my 72 GMC the front clip is faded and it has black primer under it. Initially I thought maybe it had had a front clip swapped from another truck. Now, I'm wondering if they used different primers as well? Probably not though. This truck probably was facing into the wind or something.

I really love your 68 though. I never used to be a buddy bucket guy but they sure have grown on me. Go figure since they are so cheap now. :lol:
