I am not *****ing about this , just frustrated , mostly because no one has many answers for this truck.
When I called Dorman about longer wheel studs , he chuckled when I told him it was a 68 K1500. Then he helped me with what he could.
I already restored a 69 Mustang Mach 1 , a peace of cake compared to this.

This truck wasn’t supposed to be like a stutz bear cat , or a Cord just a regular 4x4 truck.
Other than the V6 and maybe the rear if it's a Dana, the Chevys are the same as GMCs in the same year. Sounds like you've been looking for answers in the wrong places. Lots of hear-say when you need facts. The facts are here.
