Been working on the 68 here is what Ive done in the last week , got it running good new alternator water pump belts and hoses , new exhaust , new brakes , u joints , painted the bumpers , new chrome mirros and sill panels , got all the lights working , just got done installing a new floor pan and rocker panel on the driver side , now that I got into it the truck really is not that bad rust wise as I thought it would be , gotta get started on the passenger side floor pan and rocker tommorow , also put new poly cab bushings ,,, here is some pics ,,, after I get the passenger side floor and rocker done I'm gonna let my son ride it till winter ,,,,

Looks great to me. Did you just get some single stage in spray can form and spray your rocker and floor?

for sitting in a field for 20 years, it sure has come a long way in a few short weeks

Re: update : work done so far on the 68 shortbed
Where you located exactly in "southrust Va." I was working over in ewing not long ago, and was really shocked at how rusty the trucks and cars were there. reminded me when I was in New York. So your truck is a jewel compared to what've seen.

I had a 71 C10 in 1985 that was rusted so bad all 4 cab mount points colapsed and the cab sat down on the frame flat with the floor pans ! I drove it like that till the frame rusted into behind the cab ,,

Love the paint scheme. You have gotten a good bit done. It looks great. I wish I had a short list to do.
