'68 BB Purple Truck Owner in Spokane - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I don't recall your board name but I am heading to Northern Idaho this coming weekend and will be cruising through Spokane. I would like to stop by and see your truck. I could look over those split rims you were keeping for me as well. Let me know if you are going to be around.

are you driving your truck?

is it superduck you're looking for? there's a few of use here (obviously not all with purple BB trucks, mine's orange and SB)!

No, it's me, thecatseye66--
I have the 68 BB CST Camper Special with 42,000 miles that is my avatar. It looks like stock Vermillion but it has a "special paint" code and factory hand-painted pinstriping. It needs buffed and some small rust areas fixed yet but it looks good from a distance anyway.
I'm new to the board but once I found this place I can't stop coming back. I paid a year's subscription to become a member and think it's the best thing since the HEI and disc brakes!
Anyway, stllookn, I've got the split rims but I read that you bought some at the Monroe swap meet. I put on some great looking stock 16.5x8.25 rims that hold the orignal caps and some new tires just three weeks ago. I rebuilt the front wheel cylinders (the truck sat for nearly 5 years) and I put in an HEI this past weekend.
I won't be using the split rims/tires but I wanted to keep them at least for a set of rollers if I need them. If you've got some rollers I could trade you for that would be good. I don't even care if they are Maypop 2000's--anything will work.

catseye...Thanks for getting back to me. Yes I did buy some ($10 for 4!). I had forgotten that you were saving some for me. The ones I got need sand blasting and cleaning up. If yours are better shape I will trade. If you want some tubeless rims as rollers, I have those too. I am going to make a "show" set out of the splits so I want to start with the best product possible. Do yoy have pics? I can post the pics of the ones I have if you don't and you can just tell me if yours are any better.

72fwd, Unfortunately, I will not be driving the Longhorn or the stepside. I am still sorting out on Phase 1 of 6 on the Longhorn. I got it running but need to fix a few items. I had to switch manifolds, water pumps, carbs etc. to get it going...lots of little details...but it is ALIVE at least! Not ready for prime time, though...LOL!
