HI, Thanks for all the great information. I recently found this site while searching the web for Bucket Seat swaps for my 68 Chevy stepside. I bought my truck when i was 12 and My Dad and I completed a Frame-off Restoration on my 1968 Chevy Shortbed Stepside replaceing every nut, bolt, body panel, floors, rockers, cab corners, glass, ...etc. We also swapped out the orginal 6 with a three on the tree. To a gm performance crate 350 from the locale GM dealer, and backed it with a turbo 350 tranny with a 2500 converter & shift kit. also lowered with a 2-4 kit from Early Classic.
kNow that the truck is back on the road, its time to completed other modifications that i couldn't afford on my high school budget. Before the all-truck national @ Carlisle, PA i would like to convert the truck to 4-wheel disk brakes & some A.R. Torque Thrust 17". as well as some modern buckets ( already converted to blazer tank). If any one has a great kit for the conversions please let me know. I am looking at the complete Kit form Classic Performance Products. and are there any deals on some wheels?
I will try to post pics later.

Here are some pics of my 2000 Camaro SS and my 1978 Chevy Stepside. The 78 i recently completed a frame on resto over the winter. had it painted and adding a 4" lift and some 35" tires. I attached pics of these two.
