Re: Project “Already Built” 68 Shortbed
Thanks, it has a mild built small block, .30 over, a set of GM Performance vortec heads, comp cam, aluminum intake, Edelbrock carb, ceramic coated Hedman headers. The trans is a Th350, rear end is a 12 bolt posi but not sure of the ratio. I’ll investigate that this winter

There is very little space between the control panel to the ignition switch and the same towards the cig lighter

Re: Project “Already Built” 68 Shortbed
Today was about 19 degrees out so I figured it would be a good day to hang out in a warm garage. I removed the “universal” Vintage Air unit that the previous owner installed and started getting ready for the new kit I ordered. I also got the Fesler tail lights and the van marker lights installed....

Re: Project “Already Built” 68 Shortbed
They are very nice lights, but I’ve had 2 sets on 2 different trucks and they have both required a little grinding and filing on the corners to get them to fit

Thanks POP, I’m glad also that I found one. I don’t have time for a “project” but I like doing some personal touches to this one.

Re: Project “Already Built” 68 Shortbed
My Vintage Air kit came yesterday so I got a few things done with it. Got the condenser and dryer mounted today along with the tubing lines ran into the engine bay. I succeeded without removing the grille but I’ve got some sore knuckles!!!!

Re: Project “Already Built” 68 Shortbed
Nice find... when I started reading I saw the first pic of the interior and saw the dash and I thought to myself, thats where I would start... then, I went on and that is exactly what you did... looks awesome! cant beat the classic look with the upgraded guages! Love it.

Re: Project “Already Built” 68 Shortbed
I installed the new heat-a/c control I got from Vintage Air and made a little trim piece to go around it to cover the previous owners cuts on the dash. I hate that the dash was cut but this didn’t turn out to bad. I found a sheet of 1/16” plastic that matches the texture on the dash bezel

That's a clean looking fix Jason, damn near looks factory! Another option for down the road could be to fab something that closely matches the stereo bezel... Just a thought.

Re: Project “Already Built” 68 Shortbed
Or switch to the slidebar type stereo that looks totally stock but slides a bar over for new style, is I pod compatible too, was just looking at a few different types tonight for my 71.
