build thread " 4 by" 68 custom camper 4wd 1/2ton
my dad got this truck in 2001 with no motor, he sent it to his friend his friend put a motor in it and we drove it home. after that we junked the flat bed and bought a fleetside for it. we then got it painted but it never got its clear coat. after that we just used it to move frmom house to house to house and now we are going from a 70 custom/10 4wd to a 68 custom camper 4wd with trim and a 383 engine with disk brakes up front.

i am suprisingly seing a bunch of blue or the original dark green 68 running around and not any gold 50th style and if i do its a shortbed fleetside 1/2ton 2wd and my dad has a 4wd so it would be even cooler. |

well if more people help me and my dad decide it will go faster paint wise... today i put on a 68 custom cab glovebox door which has the holes for the 67 68 door emblem. (im not stupid enought to mess up a good 70 glove box door lol) so i need the emblem and the 4wd shift indicator steering wheel. i got the altenator brakcets for driver side and the correct power steering brackets and will put it on his new 383 so its all set to go. also got the hood all waxed so it has some shine while its on the truck.. it might be a surface wagon for awhile lol
