I am just starting a 68 chevy truck. It was my dads truck that he always had big plans for. When he passed away I got the truck. Actually i got it and a 88 mustang GT thats pretty built but needs paint. Not to bad for a 68 had some rust over the rear wheels, one spot in the firewall, on in the floor board, rust in front of the tires on the fenders,and the bottom of the doors were shot. The truck was originally a 283, 3 on the tree. The 283 dad sold a long time ago and put a 6cyl in to get by. I've now got a set of nice doors off a wrecked 69, traded a 305 for another 283 (lil older block than what i wanted its out of a 57 chevy), a 4 speed saginaw trans. and had a buddy put patch panels over the rear wheels (bad idea did a BAD job big gaps left). I'm only 22 so any tips or advice would be greatly helpful. Should have pics of it here before long. Thanks
