Wife & wallet says "It's Finished!!!"
 

After five+ long years, it is done (for now). There will always be something to tweak. 1968 frame-off (yes, my wife had a COW when she found out what that meant) 350/350, Vintage Air, stainless exhaust, Hedman headers, electric fan. Waiting for the opportunity to road trip and enjoy the drive. Hope to make midwest May meet. Thanks to everyone for their input and answers to question.

Wonderful truck!

Re: Wife & wallet says "It's Finished!!!"
 

something for me to shoot for.. Thanks for the pictures

Re: Wife & wallet says "It's Finished!!!"
 

Great looking truck!!! :metal:

Re: Wife & wallet says "It's Finished!!!"
 

I HATE YOU !!

Let me explain the source of my contempt.

1. You have an obviously beautiful wife who tolerates this labor of love we call our trucks.
2. You have a '68 SWB truck.
3. Above mentioned SWB truck is absolutely stunning to behold. The engine, the wheels, the stance, everything is spot-on perfect! (Not a huge fan of Red, but your ride deserves to be red...my DD beater does not.)
4. You were oh to eager to post up the pics of your truck and rub it in the noses of those of us who are still in the early stages of reconstruction....nonetheless it serves as good motivation.

Again, man- Awesome truck!

Re: Wife & wallet says "It's Finished!!!"
 

SCHAWIIIIIINNNNNGGGGGG!
Do you have a build thread? If not, I'm sure I'm not the only one that would like more specs (wheels, suspension, interior, paint, etc) and MORE PICS!

Re: Wife & wallet says "It's Finished!!!"
 

nice looking truck!
